We’re a family-owned and operated Senior Living Community
We are celebrating over three decades of service! Since 1985, The Cedars has been honored to assist thousands of seniors and their loving families and caregivers.
As a family-owned and operated business, The Cedars of Austin recognizes the significance of elements such as ‘compassionate care,’ ‘exceptional dining,’ a sense of community,’ and, in today’s landscape, ‘affordability’ and ‘value’ as pivotal factors influencing the transition to a senior living community. The embodiment of “The Cedars Way” lies in our family engagement and carefully chosen and trained staff dedicated to enhancing and dignifying the lives of our residents. Our enduring service history brings immense fulfillment, and we extend heartfelt gratitude to those entrusting us with the responsibility of ensuring the happiness and well-being of their loved ones.
The Farr Family
The History of The Cedars
The inaugural stage of "The Cedars" emerged from the transformation of a pre-existing structure that originally served as a Holiday Inn Hotel before evolving into The Red Cedar Inn. In 1985, Darrel Farr undertook a comprehensive renovation of The Red Cedar Inn, giving rise to the establishment known as The Cedars of Austin.
Formerly known as The Red Cedar Inn, this locale boasted an optimal downtown location, offering convenience to various amenities. Positioned along the picturesque Red Cedar River, the site featured a noteworthy commercial kitchen and dining room called the Robin Hood Room. Additionally, the old Red Cedar Inn incorporated a floor dedicated to conference space, seamlessly adaptable for communal purposes such as the dining room, chapel, library, and other recreational functions.
