Northwoods Memory Care Suites
Northwoods Memory Care Suites provides assisted living and memory care in Blaine, Minnesota. Assisted living gives residents help with daily tasks, while memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Offering both care types can suit a resident whose needs may grow over time without requiring a move to a different community.
The community has 26 beds, creating a smaller setting where residents and staff can get to know one another. Private and semi-private rooms are available, including a private option for one resident and a shared option for someone who prefers or needs a roommate. Staff are available around the clock, including overnight, and a doctor is on staff.
Residents can use the salon, memory walk, private bathrooms and community island gathering area. Art therapy, music therapy and memory-enhancing exercises provide structured activities focused on creative expression, music and cognitive engagement. Outdoor space gives residents somewhere to spend time outside. Kyle and Sherri Lewis own and operate Northwoods Memory Care Suites, and Sherri Lewis serves as director. With a Walk Score of 39, the area is car-dependent, so most errands require a car or a ride; a resident who no longer drives would generally need transportation for those trips.
