Resident & Family Experiences

“I want to thank our Cedars family for the wonderful care you all gave my Dad over the past five-plus years. It meant so much to us to know that he was loved and cared for, especially since we lived so far away from him. The Cedars will always have a special place in our hearts as you cared for both of my parents.”

— MICHAEL M., SON OF FORMER RESIDENTS

“My experience at The Cedars is one of great value. I thought there wasn’t much going for me until I met the Cedars family. Activities keep me so involved in new projects. I have lots of new friends, and I am so happy here at The Cedars.”

Cedars of Austin Assisted Living testimonial

“I have worked in the senior housing field for 37 years. During those years, I have worked in many aspects of senior housing, including adult daycare, activities, and dining with different providers. I have been with The Cedars of Austin for over eight years.

I consider our Activities Department to be the best in the Austin area. The Cedars offers a wide range of activities for the residents to enjoy, feel engaged in, and have meaning. I love the people I work with.

My job allows me to be all over the building many times throughout the day. I see our staff being kind, helpful, respectful, and understanding.

After touring all the choices, we found that The Cedars is the best place to be. My mother has lived at The Cedars for over a year and loves her new home. As a family, we are pleased, and knowing that she loves her home helps us know we made the right choice.”

“From the very first phone call with the Cedars telling me that they were able to help my Dad, I knew we would be well taken care of. Every staff member is so caring and professional. I am able to talk with them about any concerns, and they are always so supportive. I love the care of the nurses, the variety of activities they offer, the support for the family, and the relationship-building throughout. Whenever I go visit with my Dad, I am also visiting with a whole new family. I truly love the staff and residents of The Cedars of Austin!”

— JILL M., DAUGHTER OF MEMORY CARE RESIDENT

Cedars of Austin Memory Care testimonial

“Almost four years ago, I needed to look for a new home for my wife. She had been at a nursing home, but due to her memory loss, they could no longer accommodate her needs. I found the Cedars and moved her into Memory Care. I was able to join my wife as the Cedars offers companion suites where couples can remain together. I later decided to rent an independent living apartment in the same building as my wife. This was a wonderful option as I could see my wife, eat meals with her, and participate in activities with her but go off on my own, knowing that she was safe and taken care of.

I appreciated the expertise for memory care and was provided with a Memory Care Specialist I could talk to and learn more about dementia, how I could support my wife, and what to expect. I was surprised by the number of activities offered. The Cedars provide transportation when needed. I can participate in and lead activities. I have the freedom to be as active as I want without worrying about caring for a house. There is so much to do at The Cedars. They provide help if needed and take good care of you. I truly enjoy the friendliness and activities at The Cedars.”

— KEN J., CURRENT RESIDENT

  • “The resident activity & dementia care team are exceptional. We are comforted to know that our loved one has access to music, spiritual and mentally stimulating daily activities and outings.”

    — MAGGIE S., DAUGHTER OF MEMORY CARE RESIDENT

  • “I love the freedom and being able to come and go as I please.”

    — NORMA B., CURRENT INDEPENDENT LIVING RESIDENT

  • “We were worried about moving Mom into Memory Care. But after talking to The Cedars’ staff we decided to give it a try, and are so glad we did. Mom is doing great in Memory Care, and due to the small layout she no longer gets lost and upset. She has the sparkle in her eye again.”

    — FAMILY MEMBER OF MEMORY CARE RESIDENT

  • “I thought caring for my dad, who has Alzheimer’s, at home was the most cost effective. When I saw the toll it was taking on all of us, including Dad, The Cedars is a real bargain.”

    — FAMILY MEMBER OF MEMORY CARE RESIDENT

  • “Everything we were looking for: safety, home-like setting, and top-notch nursing. We cannot praise the wonderful staff enough.”
