Overview of Summerwood of Chanhassen

Summerwood of Chanhassen offers assisted living, independent living, and memory care in Chanhassen, MN, with 78 beds. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks, while independent living provides a private living arrangement with community services but no daily care. Memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for residents who may be at risk of wandering.

Having all three care levels in one community can suit someone whose needs grow over time without requiring a move elsewhere. The range of support also accommodates different levels of daily assistance, including someone living with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia who needs supervised surroundings.

There are several distinct places to spend time on site. Residents can use the fitness center, artistic and creative space, billiards area, library, movie theater, and wood shop for recreation and hobbies. A salon and religious services are available as well.

Rehabilitation services are offered, and short-term rehab provides a temporary stay for recovery needs. That gives residents an option for a time-limited stay while they recover, separate from the community’s longer-term assisted living, independent living, and memory care arrangements.
