Overview of St Michael Assisted Living

St Michael Assisted Living offers assisted living, hospice care, independent living, memory care, and respite care in Saint Michael, MN. Assisted living includes help with bathing, dressing, and medication while the resident keeps a private apartment, while independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care. Memory care is provided in a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering.

Hospice care supports residents with end of life needs, and respite care offers a short stay when a usual caregiver needs to travel or recover. Having several care levels in one community may suit a resident whose needs grow over time, since care can continue without starting over in a new setting. With 49 beds, the community is smaller, giving staff and residents the opportunity to get to know one another.

Rehabilitation services are available through the community, so residents can receive therapy as part of their care. A Walk Score of 55 makes the area somewhat walkable, meaning some errands can be done on foot and a resident who no longer drives may still be able to handle certain nearby errands independently. Harmesh Kumar serves as the administrator, and Therapeutic Residential Care Services operates the community.
