Overview of Brightondale Senior Living Brightondale Senior Living is at 2700 Rice Creek Rd in New Brighton, Minnesota, part of the broader Minneapolis/St. Paul metro. It’s an assisted living and memory care community in a two-story building, led by Executive Director Deb Tschida. Apartments come in one- and two-bedroom configurations, running from 589 to 1,067 square feet, with utilities folded into the cost. Minimum age is 62.
The care infrastructure is reasonably comprehensive. Licensed nurses and personal care staff are on-site around the clock. Physical, speech, and occupational therapy are all available on-site, alongside respite care and short-term rehab. Medication management is covered.
For residents with dementia, the Reflections Dementia Care program is the named offering. Emergency call pull cords in bathrooms and personal pendants in assisted living units are the safety layer residents and families should know about.
On the lifestyle side, chef-prepared meals from fresh ingredients are served in a fine dining restaurant. There’s a wellness center, beauty salon and barbershop, outdoor spaces, and transportation. Pets are allowed. The neighborhood Walk Score is 66, which means some errands are doable on foot, though a car helps for most.
Brightondale is private-pay only, accepting neither Medicare nor Medicaid. That’s the practical filter for families evaluating it: a full-service Twin Cities suburban community with memory care on-site, built for residents who can cover costs out of pocket.
