Folkestone

100 Promenade Avenue, Wayzata, MN 55391
Overview of Folkestone

Folkestone offers nursing home, assisted living, independent living, memory care, and skilled nursing in Wayzata, Minnesota. Nursing home and skilled nursing include licensed nursing care on site around the clock, while assisted living helps with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication management.

Independent living provides a private home with community services and no daily care. Memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering, and the range of care levels may suit a resident whose needs grow over time without moving to another community.

Folkestone has 90 beds, with total nurse staffing of 5 hours and 23 minutes per resident each day. This represents the daily nurse staffing time allocated to each resident.

Medicare and private pay are accepted, allowing families to use Medicare for short term skilled care after a hospital stay or pay directly for care. Rehabilitation services and transitional care or short term rehab support temporary stays focused on recovery.

A swimming pool and salon or spa provide on site options for recreation and personal grooming. With a Walk Score of 53, the area falls in the somewhat walkable range, so some errands can be done on foot and a resident who no longer drives may be able to handle certain outings independently.
