In Austin, MN, KSMS Our House runs two care levels, assisted living and memory care. Assisted living brings help with ordinary jobs, including bathing, dressing, and medication. The secured level, with supervision included, is memory care, which is for when wandering has become a hazard.
With both levels on the one license, a deepening need does not start a new search for a different facility.
Eighty-nine beds are covered by that license. Respite care belongs to the services list, covering brief stays necessary while a family’s regular caregiver is occupied. Senior Apartments appears on the list as well.
At 86, the neighborhood reads as very walkable, and errands can be run on foot after a car goes. Pets are permitted, which settles a question some families arrive with.
