The Cedars is a small assisted living community in Anoka with space for just ten residents, so people get more personal attention there than in bigger places, and it feels quiet and family-like, with caring staff always close by. The home's fully furnished rooms come in private or shared options, and there's a comfortable dining room where the staff serves three daily meals, including options for diets like diabetes or allergies, all made by trained professionals and supervised by a dietitian. Residents get 24-hour supervision and help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, moving around, and taking medicine, plus there's an on-site health aide, weekday nurses, and a doctor on call whenever needed, so folks get medical help right away if something comes up.
The Cedars offers help for seniors needing basic assisted living, memory care, respite care for short stays, and skilled nursing services, with individualized care plans made to fit each resident's needs. Residents can spend time in inviting common areas watching television, talking with friends, or joining group activities and scheduled events which the staff organizes every day, like movie nights, educational programs, and outings around the community. The facility's got safety features like emergency alert systems, wheelchair-accessible spaces, and 24-hour security, so family members can feel more at ease.
Amenities focus on comfort and convenience-there's Wi-Fi and cable TV in the rooms, laundry and housekeeping service, all-day snacks, a telephone, game room, chapel, and relaxing outdoor garden included. Residents can use transportation for doctor's appointments or community trips when they want to get out and about, and the staff can coordinate care with outside healthcare providers to make sure everyone keeps up with their medical appointments. Each location keeps a peaceful atmosphere, and there are several homes run by the same group as The Cedars-including Pines, Elms, Oaks, Maples, and Willows in Anoka, plus homes in Andover, Elk River, and Princeton-so there are choices for families who like this smaller, home-style setting. Personal help, round-the-clock support, and a real focus on treating folks with respect have been the hallmarks here since 1995.
