We have implemented a number of procedures and taken action to keep our residents and staff safe in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This includes restricting access to our community to staff, residents and essential medical vendors and visitors. All residents, staff, vendors and visitors are screened prior to being permitted to enter.
We are still accepting new admissions, but they must be screened prior to move in and special move-in procedures will apply.
Enhanced infection control and disinfection policies and procedures are in place. Staff are also receiving additional training and supervision. We have also modified our congregate dining and activity programming.
We continue to monitor guidance and information provided by CDC, MDH, industry leaders and other governmental organizations, and will be making changes as determined necessary moving forward.
We are providing extra support to our staff during this challenging time and are committed to responding to any questions or concerns our residents and their loved ones may have. As always, our priority remains keeping our residents and staff safe and providing exceptional care and service.
Thank you,
Lisa Nelson \ Cedars of Austin

Dr. Cummings’ research and leadership in the field of Alzheimer’s disease have been recognized with many awards, including the Henderson Award of the American Geriatrics Society, the Research Award of the John Douglas French Alzheimer’s Research Foundation, and the Ronald and Nancy Reagan Research Award of the national Alzheimer’s Association.

Senior Safety!
Senior safety is of great importance. Fall prevention is critical to Senior Safety. Patient’s suffering from Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s or any form of dementia are often unaware of their own symptoms, and caregivers must take special precautions to keep them safe.
Look at Senior Monitors;
Wandering devices;
As a caregiver of someone with dementia, you may find them to all of the sudden be irritable with no apparent reason, BUT there is a reason. They may have fallen and broke a bone and are unable to communicate this to you.
You can find many home items at the Alzheimer’s store.com
