Overview of The Waterview Shores Assisted The Waterview Shores Assisted offers nursing home, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing in Two Harbors, MN. Nursing home and skilled nursing provide licensed nursing care on site around the clock. Assisted living supports daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication, while memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. The multiple care levels may be a good fit for a resident whose needs may grow over time, because the resident can move within the community without starting over socially.
With 46 beds, the community is smaller, giving staff and residents the opportunity to get to know each other. Total nurse staffing is 3h 54m per resident per day, representing the daily hands on nursing time assigned to each resident. Jenny Kangas is the director. Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay are accepted: Medicaid can help when savings may not cover a long stay, Medicare covers short term skilled care after a hospital stay rather than long term residence, and private pay allows a family to use personal funds.
Residents can choose private rooms or shared rooms. In house physical, occupational, and speech therapies allow a resident to receive rehabilitation without arranging transportation elsewhere. Restaurant style dining includes specialty diet offerings, so meals can align with a resident’s dietary needs. Those details matter when therapy and meals need to fit into the daily routine.
A salon and an outdoor walking path with a patio provide on site options for grooming and outdoor time, while outings and transportation support participation beyond the community. Respite care provides a short stay for someone whose usual caregiver needs to travel or recover. A Walk Score of 61 out of 100 makes the area somewhat walkable, with some errands possible on foot, so a resident who no longer drives may be able to reach nearby destinations independently.
