Overview of Edgewood Vista & Village in Bismarck

Edgewood Vista & Village in Bismarck is a senior living community on Colorado Lane in the Burleigh County area of Bismarck, North Dakota, roughly three miles from the city center. It offers assisted living, independent living, and memory care under one roof, which gives families a single community that can adjust as a resident’s needs change over time. The community is operated by Edgewood Senior Living, and Tiffany Boehm is listed among its leadership in state records. Housing comes in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom options across an 85-bed, three-story building.

What stands out here is the depth of on-site care. Therapy services, home health, and hospice are all delivered within the community through Edgewood’s own healthcare services division, so residents facing more advanced or end-of-life needs can often access that support without leaving. Transportation services handle the trips that do require going off-site, which matters in a location that scores just 6 out of 100 for walkability and is effectively car-dependent.

Beyond care, the building itself carries an unusually full set of shared spaces for a community of this size. Residents have access to an on-site coffee shop, a movie theater, a chapel, and a fitness center, giving day-to-day life a range of places to gather, stay active, and spend quiet time. That combination of amenities and a continuum of care in one place makes it a practical fit for someone who wants their living arrangement to hold steady even as their care requirements evolve.

Overview of Elim Health Care Center

Elim Health Care Center offers nursing home care, assisted living, hospice care, independent living, respite care, and skilled nursing in Fargo, North Dakota. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks while a resident keeps a private living space, while independent living is intended for residents who do not need daily care. Skilled nursing includes licensed nursing care on site, with short-term rehabilitation and long-term care available, and hospice care addresses end-of-life needs. Respite care offers a short stay when a resident’s usual caregiver needs time away, and the range of care levels may suit someone whose needs grow over time.

The center has 88 beds, giving families a clear sense of its available capacity. Studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units can accommodate residents living alone, couples moving together, or someone who wants a separate bedroom. Pets are allowed, so residents may be able to keep a pet while living in the community. Couples and pet owners will want to ask about unit availability and any pet-specific requirements.

Rehabilitation services support short-term recovery without requiring a resident to arrange care elsewhere. Outdoor patios and gardens provide places to spend time outside. A salon, barber, spa, gym, library, chapel, and restaurant give residents access to grooming, wellness, reading, worship, and dining spaces on site. Activities include social opportunities, events, entertainment, Bible studies, and classes organized by activity professionals, while transportation is available for trips beyond the community.

The area has a Walk Score of 52 and is somewhat walkable, meaning some errands can be completed on foot. A resident who no longer drives may be able to handle certain nearby errands independently. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted, giving families options that include coverage for eligible short-term skilled care, Medicaid support for qualifying long-term needs, or direct payment. Total nurse staffing is 5 hours and 48 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily hands-on nursing time assigned per resident.

Overview of Hatton Prairie Village

Hatton Prairie Village in Hatton, ND, delivers three distinct levels of care: independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing. Residents in independent living reside in private apartments while accessing community perks without routine assistance. The assisted living tier aids with daily routines like bathing, dressing, and managing medication directly in the resident’s apartment, and skilled nursing provides 24-hour care from licensed medical staff.

Layouts on site include independent and assisted living apartments as well as dedicated skilled nursing rooms. Having multiple options in one setting allows individuals to step up their care as requirements change while maintaining their social connections and remaining in the same community.

Operated by Member Church Owners, the 17-bed community maintains a smaller footprint that encourages closer familiarity among residents and employees. On-site accommodations include a guest hotel room for visiting family, and total nurse staffing averages 4 hours and 58 minutes per resident per day.

Prospective representatives can contact Hatton Prairie Village to ask questions or set up a time to tour the campus.

Overview of Lakeview Landing

Amy Deacon is the listed contact for Lakeview Landing, Inc., a 30-bed assisted living and memory care community at 4401 21st St SE in Mandan, North Dakota’s 21st Street Southeast neighborhood. EWR Mandan Lakewood SH LLC operates the facility, which is a building with two stories, and studio housing as its available layout option.

Getting to the facility6 hand around the surrounding area to run errands without a car is tough here. The Walk Score sits at 17, car-dependent, so most errands mean driving.

Two things stand out about Lakeview Landing: first, it’s pet friendly, so a resident’s cat or dog doesn’t have to stay behind. Second, it offers both assisted living and memory care under one roof, which means a resident’s care level can shift without a move to a new building. Transportation services and fitness and recreation options round out daily life.

This is a small, modest community by the numbers; thirty beds, two floors, studio apartments, a pet-friendly policy, and basic transportation and recreation support. It reads less like a flagship community and more like a straightforward, no-frills option for families who want assisted living and memory care in the same Mandan building without a long list of extras.

Hospice care supports residents with end-of-life needs, and respite care offers a short stay for a family whose usual caregiver needs to travel or recover. The community has 43 beds, placing it in the smaller-community range where staff and residents may become familiar with one another.

A Walk Score of 63 places the area in the somewhat walkable band. Some errands can be done on foot, and a resident who no longer drives may have opportunities for independent outings. Programs include Independent Living Apartments, Assisted Living Apartments, Transitional Care, and Ethos Home Care & Hospice, and Eventide Jamestown operates the community.
