The community may be a good fit for a resident who wants independent living or assisted living now and may need memory care later, or for someone needing a short respite or rehabilitation stay.
A Walk Score of 49 places the area in a car-dependent setting, so most errands require a car or a ride. A resident who no longer drives would generally need transportation for those trips.
Essence Care Center operates as a small residential home care provider on 19th Street Northwest in Rochester, Minnesota.
