The 24-hour staff handles daily treatments and rehab services, and the facility offers respite care for families needing short-term skilled support.
Prospective individuals checking out local options can find a practical setup for short-term recovery due to the heavy rehab focus and the convenient location. The admissions department can be reached directly to clarify current bed availability, confirm specific insurance coverages, or arrange an in-person tour of the campus.

Assisted living in Minnesota supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.
Minnesota Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, but most states (including Minnesota) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.
