Senior Living That Looks and Feels Like Home

Making the move from independent living to an environment with more assistance is a significant and often emotional step. At Cannon Country Senior Living, we deeply understand these challenges and strive to make the transition easier for our residents and their families. Central to this commitment is our unique approach: offering the very best in senior care in the warmth and comfort of a genuine home setting. Rather than the overwhelming and impersonal atmosphere of a large institutional setting, we take pride in offering genuine homes, that are warm and inviting and located in a quiet and safe residential neighborhood. 

Our senior living homes are a refreshing divergence from conventional senior housing. You won’t find endless hallways, cumbersome elevators, or daunting staircases here. Instead, we’ve designed our unique facilities with comfort, accessibility and ease of use in mind. For instance, our dining room is mere feet away from each resident’s suite.  And our wheelchair-friendly parking is just a short, safe distance from our welcoming main entrance.

Our Premium, Fully Furnished Senior Apartments

Where we really deliver that warm and inviting feeling of home is within each resident’s premium and fully furnish room. Our homes were designed and purposefully crafted for assisted living. While on the outside, our facilities look like large residential homes, on the inside they are divided into distinct senior living apartments, including a master bedroom with sitting area and a handicapped accessible master bathroom. Each apartment is seamlessly connected to common spaces, fostering privacy, access to care and a sense of community. Our residents can enjoy the autonomy of their spacious senior apartment and yet, step out to mingle, dine, or engage in activities in our common areas, including kitchen, dining area, living room and more.

At Cannon Country Senior Living, our residents aren’t just another number. They are cherished members of our community, deserving of dignity, respect, and the very best in care.

When it came time for my mom to go to assisted living, Dean and his staff were extremely accommodating in getting things ready for her to move in. That continued throughout her short stay there with the staff being so helpful and hands on with her care. Theresa stayed in communication with moms hospice care team so they all understood where she was at in her journey and how to be there for her with the changes that were happening. We also appreciated how open they were with our family being there and helping us with concerns and questions 24/7.I am thankful and forever grateful that mom was able to stay so close to home in such a comfortable, country setting that looked and felt more like 'home' and not a facility. They clearly work very hard to make this the best experience possible for your loved one.

I love it here. I was released from Mayo Hospital Red Wing then needed help with recuperation. I met the owner Dean and the nurse Theresa before my release. I felt they were running a very good place for my needs. They and the staff have gone beyond expectations and taken excellent care of me and allowed me to bring my kitty here to be with me. I really enjoy my sunny suite in the country. Price is so much lower than other facilities. Very content.

Dear Dean and loving staff at Cannon Country Living,We cannot express our appreciation enough for the unconditional care and compassion given to our dear Aunt while living at Cannon Country Living. Even through her very difficult and trying times and the Hospice process, you and your staff showed genuine care and empathy.Your staff and residents were always welcoming and friendly during our visits. This quaint setting of a beautiful home that has 5 living quarters has such a warm feel and is as close as possible to what her private home was like. Couples live there too without being separated due to their cognitive or physical needs.May each of you be blessed abundantly for your extraordinary care.All the best to you as you open another such place in Cannon Falls.Dave and Kathy Reuter

Finding a new “home” for an aging parent can be very difficult. When we first visited Cannon Country, our family knew this was the perfect place for our Dad. And he agreed! Being a farmer his entire life, our Dad was a quiet, humble man who appreciated solitude. Cannon Country provided a very comfortable home for him with the scenery of still being out in the country. The staff was caring and accommodating of his independence. He was able to go at his own pace throughout the day, while always being treated with dignity, respect and warmth. One of the most compelling reasons for choosing Cannon Country was their ability to provide care through end of life. He never had to make a transition to another facility. Our Dad felt very at home at Cannon Country.

My family has been very happy with my parents' experience at Cannon Country. It is homey, comfortable, and the staff is very accommodating. The staff to resident ratio is a primary reason we chose Cannon Country. Staff is extremely caring and encouraging of appropriate levels of resident independence. The residence itself is in a quiet country neighborhood. We've gone on many walks on the neighborhood sidewalks and walking paths. One of the things that I personally appreciate the most is the accommodations that the staff have made for family gatherings and to help with the transition for my parents to assisted living. Thank you to Dean and the staff for working with us to ease this transition.
