Assisted Living & Memory Care · Baxter, MN

Overview of Northern Lakes Senior Living

Northern Lakes Senior Living, in Baxter, MN, handles assisted living and memory care. On its assisted living side, staff take over the daily tasks a person can no longer manage alone. Supervision is the point of the memory care side, and the space it is provided in is secured to prevent wandering out.

Because both levels are licensed at this address, somebody whose needs change from one to the other later is not obliged to change communities. Eighty-five beds are shared between both care levels.

Staff are on duty around the clock, and a doctor on staff supplies medical oversight inside the community. Meals & Dining, Learning, and Spiritual Health are the named programs here.
