Memory Care & Assisted Living · Duluth, MN

Overview of Hillside Homes I

Hillside Homes I offers memory care and assisted living in Duluth, Minnesota. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering, while assisted living provides help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while the resident keeps a private apartment.

Both care levels are available here. A resident whose needs grow over time may be able to remain at Hillside Homes I rather than move to another community. The home is in the East Hillside neighborhood, where a Walk Score of 80 places the area in the very walkable band, so most errands can be done on foot and a resident who no longer drives can still reach nearby shops, a pharmacy, or cafes independently.
