Overview of Boulder Ponds Senior Living

Boulder Ponds Senior Living offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care in Lake Elmo, MN.

Overview of Evergreen Place

Evergreen Place in Pine Island, MN, offers assisted living and memory care. Respite care belongs to the same license. Assisted living covers the daily tasks, among them dressing, bathing, and medication.

Supervision inside a secured area is what the memory care level amounts to. Respite is the version that assumes the resident goes home, and a family books it around travel or a recovery of the caregiver’s own.

The license here covers 30 beds, and at that size learning who everyone is does not take long. The dining is written down as Home-Cooked Food.

It scored 60 for Walk Score, which is the somewhat walkable bond, so some errands are manageable on foot. The three levels are licensed together, which means the level a resident needs next is present here already.
