Assisted Living & Memory Care · Edina, MN

Overview of York Gardens Senior Living

York Gardens Senior Living offers assisted living and memory care in Edina, MN. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication while a resident lives in a private apartment; memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Having both care levels can suit a resident whose needs grow over time, because care can change without leaving the community.

York Gardens Senior Living has 94 beds in a mid-rise building. Housing options include studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom private apartments. A studio provides a single private space, while a two-bedroom apartment can suit a couple moving together or someone who wants a companion.

Respite care provides a short stay, which can suit a family whose usual caregiver needs to travel or recover. A beauty salon and barber shop let residents receive grooming services within the community, and rehabilitation services support residents who need therapy as part of their care. Pets are allowed, so a resident can bring a pet when moving in. A Walk Score of 74 places the area in the very walkable band, meaning most errands can be done on foot; a resident who no longer drives can still get out independently.

Minnesota surveys the primary family contact for each resident, asking about meals, staff responsiveness, safety, and likelihood to recommend. Scores are compared to peer facilities and converted to a 1–5 star rating. "–" = too few responses to score; "X" = facility refused to participate. <em>Source: MN DHS Assisted Living Report Card</em>

Food tends to score lower than other domains statewide, so scores above 85% reflect strong performance relative to peers. <em>Source: MN DHS Assisted Living Report Card</em>
