Overview of Cedar Crest Assisted Living

Cedar Crest Assisted Living is a faith-based, nonprofit retirement community operated by Cedar Crest Inc in Janesville, Wisconsin, offering a full spectrum of care, including assisted living, memory care, rehabilitation, and skilled nursing. Since opening its doors in April 1999, the community has dedicated over 25 years to supporting older adults in Rock County with a comprehensive 68-bed campus. Medicare is also accepted, ensuring that high-quality care remains accessible to a broad range of eligible residents.

With an occupancy rate of roughly 57%, the community has 39 of 68 beds occupied and has rooms available for immediate placement. This availability is a significant advantage for families seeking a supportive environment without waitlist delays. As a nonprofit with a faith-affiliated foundation, the community prioritizes a mission-driven approach, seamlessly integrating pastoral and spiritual programming into the rhythm of daily life.

The community is further distinguished by its impressive record of external recognition and regulatory excellence. It earned the 2025 U.S. News Best Nursing Homes designation for both Long-Term Care and Short-Term Rehabilitation, as well as the 2024 Gazette Best of the Best award. Additionally, the community has recorded only one deficiency, significantly lower than the Wisconsin state average of 12, which highlights its rigorous commitment to safety and compliance.

Promoting wellness and social connection for those 55+, the community has a robust suite of amenities, including activity rooms, a family social room, a beautiful courtyard, and lush gardens. An on-site chapel, a salon, a therapy and wellness center, fitness classes, a library, and walking trails are also available. Three chef-prepared meals are also served daily, with specific accommodations made for special dietary needs.

From 24-hour staffing and skilled nursing to respite care and specialized rehabilitation, Cedar Crest provides the clinical support that allows older adults to age in place comfortably. The community’s life enrichment and volunteer programs, combined with dedicated spiritual care, create a well-rounded environment for those who value both clinical expertise and social engagement. Whether you are an active adult seeking a faith-informed home or in need of short-term recovery following a hospital stay, Cedar Crest offers a supportive and welcoming environment.
