Overview of Vernon Terrace of Edina

Facebook

Vernon Terrace of Edina in Edina, MN, offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, and respite care services. Self-sufficient residents manage their own households with the support of community services, while assisted living involves staff who aid each resident in bathing, dressing, and medication. Memory care provides a secured setting where staff supervise individuals at risk of wandering. Respite provides a short-term stay, organized when a household’s primary caregiver takes a break for a while.

Having these levels on a single campus allows individuals whose needs increase to remain within the same community. The facility accommodates 170 beds, and pets are allowed to stay.

The Wellness Center and its classes are accessible to residents, along with arranged activities. Shopping trips and outings are supported by scheduled transportation, eliminating the need for residents to organize their own rides, and there is an option for outdoor dining.

Grandview is the neighborhood, and its Walk Score of 70 indicates it is very walkable. Whether driving or not, residents can walk to most errands. There is also a beauty salon available on the premises.
