Austin, Minnesota, located along the Cedar River north of the Iowa border, was named after Austin R. Nichols, the area’s first settler. In 1891, the Hormel Foods Corporation opened shop in the city, earning it the nickname of Spamtown USA.
Today, this city is home to a senior community that makes up more than 17% of its total population. When these seniors require help with personal care, they can turn to one of the seven assisted living facilities in the area. In all of Minnesota, including Austin, these facilities are officially recognized as either Class A or Class F home care providers, both of which must register annually with the Department of Health.
