Overview of St Mark’s Heritage Community St Mark’s Heritage Community provides independent living, assisted living, memory care, nursing home and skilled nursing, hospice care, palliative care, and respite care in Austin, MN. Independent living offers private living with community services and no daily care, while assisted living provides help with tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication management. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision, and nursing home or skilled nursing care provides licensed nursing on site around the clock.
Hospice care and palliative care support residents with serious illness through care focused on comfort and symptom management. Respite care offers a short stay for someone whose usual caregiver needs to travel or recover. The range of care can suit a resident whose needs change over time, allowing movement between care levels without leaving the community.
The community has 54 beds, making it a smaller setting where residents and staff can get to know one another. A Walk Score of 86 means the area is very walkable, with most errands possible on foot, so a resident who no longer drives can still get out independently. Pets are allowed, allowing a resident to continue living with a pet.
Short-term rehabilitation is available for a temporary recovery stay after an illness, injury, or procedure. Controlled access doors and a secure outdoor garden provide features relevant to residents who need a more contained setting, while pet-friendly visits allow animals to remain part of visits with residents. Payment options are Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay.
St Mark’s Heritage Community opened in 1963. Total nurse staffing is 5 hours 14 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily hands-on nursing time assigned per resident.
