Meadow Ridge Senior Living
Meadow Ridge Senior Living offers assisted living and memory care in Golden Valley, Minnesota. Assisted living includes help with dressing, bathing, and medication management while residents maintain their own living space. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering, and the community has 105 beds.
Both care levels are available at Meadow Ridge Senior Living, which may be a good fit for a resident whose needs could grow over time without requiring a move to a different community. The Meaningful Experiences Memory Care program is available to residents receiving memory care. That continuity can matter when changing needs make a move especially difficult.
Restaurant style dining includes fresh, balanced meals prepared daily, with a continental breakfast and lunch and dinner options. Residents can attend live musical performances, birthday celebrations, recreational programs, and educational programs, while the barber and salon or spa provide grooming on site without requiring a separate trip. A Walk Score of 58 places the area in the somewhat walkable band, where some errands can be done on foot, so a resident who no longer drives may be able to manage some errands without a car.
