The Villas at The Cedars

The Villas at The Cedars offers nursing care, assisted living, and different types of rehabilitation services, so people can get help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, medication, and meals, and the staff helps with transfers too, and around the building you'll find things like a beauty salon, a game room, a little library, computer center, gardens, fitness area, and an outdoor space where residents can spend time if they want, and there's always access to basic needs with private or semi-private rooms, furnished with kitchenettes, private bathrooms, phone, WiFi, air conditioning, and cable TV, plus regular housekeeping and linen service to keep things tidy. The nurses work up to 16 hours a day and use a 24-hour call system for resident safety, and they also offer support from specialists right on site, including physician, dental, hearing, vision, podiatry, pharmacy, and therapy for physical, occupational, or speech needs, which helps residents avoid going out for extra appointments. There's a dialysis unit, services for memory and cardiac care, and support for those who wander since they use Wanderguard. They plan indoor activities, day trips, wellness programs, and even have meals that focus on fresh, healthy foods, and respite care is available for short stays and caregiver relief, and transportation gets arranged when needed. The community feels close-knit, with staff aiming to help everyone through changes and transitions, like coming home from the hospital or adjusting to new levels of care, and you'll see both short-term recovery and long-term care residents. However, it's important to know they've had some issues in state inspections, including care, communication, and infection control deficiencies, with a high nurse turnover rate and less nurse time per resident than average. Monarch Healthcare Management runs The Villas at The Cedars as a for-profit facility with 107 certified beds, and the building tends to have about 84 residents staying there, and you can find Monarch communities around Minnesota with similar services for different care needs.
