Overview of Whitefish at the Lakes Senior Living

Whitefish at the Lakes Senior Living offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care in Crosslake, MN. Independent living gives residents private living with community services and no daily care. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while residents keep their own apartments. Memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering.

The range of care levels may suit a resident whose needs grow over time, since moving between care levels can happen within the same community. The community has 112 beds, with one-bed and two-bed housing options. A two-bed layout can work well for a couple moving together or for someone who wants a companion. A Walk Score of 41 places the area in a car-dependent setting, so most errands require a car or a ride for a resident who no longer drives.

Residents can use the fitness center for exercise and the salon for personal grooming. Rehabilitation services provide therapy related to recovery or mobility support. Visiting physicians are also available, so residents can receive physician visits during scheduled community visits.

Assisted living in Minnesota supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Minnesota?

Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Minnesota Medicaid cover assisted living?

Minnesota Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Minnesota) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.
