Mother of Mercy

Mother of Mercy is a non-profit, church-related senior living community that's been helping older adults since 1959, offering a modern but home-like place with 76 certified beds and usually about 56 residents each day. The facility's Care Center gives comprehensive health and residential services, with skilled nursing, rehabilitation programs, memory care called Memory Lane, and a Rapid Recovery Care Center for short-term needs, while independent living is available at Pondview Estates and assisted living apartments are there too, each set up for comfort and nice views from patios or balconies. Staff provide care following federal standards, put up nurse staffing info every day, and use a detailed QAPI and QAA plan to keep up quality, and they've earned A+ ratings and sometimes "zero deficiencies" from the Minnesota Department of Health, although inspection reports show a total of 32 past deficiencies, including some related to infection control. The nurse turnover rate stands at 55.2%, which is higher than the state average, but nurse staffing hours reach 4.50 per resident per day, more than usual for the state. Mother of Mercy focuses on care that matches each resident's wishes and goals and offers palliative, hospice, and therapy services for those who need them. The community features secured memory care areas set up as small houses with private apartments, all leading to central living or dining spaces, and there's a range of activities like music, crafts, outings, bingo, senior prom, family day, and spiritual care with daily church services. Seniors living here can take part in wellness programs, pet therapy, hand massages, and enjoy nutritious meals in comfortable spaces. The staff are known for being dedicated and caring, and the community draws on its Catholic roots and Christian faith, welcoming everyone with dignity and respect. Mother of Mercy keeps all inspection reports available, documents its staffing and quality efforts openly, and continues to adapt its programs and services to support older adults in a safe and comfortable way.
