Broadway Care Assisted Living Plus, sitting at 512 S Broadway Ave in Albert Lea, MN, stands as a board and care residential home with room for 21 residents, and folks have known it for over 50 years of serving older adults in the community, with licensing from the Minnesota State Department of Health for Board and Lodge, Comprehensive Home Care, and Housing with Services, making sure everyone gets daily support in a home-like environment. You'll find semi-private and one-bedroom apartments, each one furnished and designed for privacy and relaxation, but there are also roomy common areas, so residents can gather for meals, chats, or join in daily activities, exercise classes, or arts and crafts sessions, and folks can even take part in outings to nearby parks and local events, which helps everyone stay active and connected.
The place's kind of tucked right in the heart of Albert Lea, which makes things easier since there are cafes, restaurants-twenty-seven nearby, they say-pharmacies, parks, and places of worship within easy reach, as well as quick routes to hospitals and doctor's offices, with four hospitals and two physicians close by. For those who need a ride, six types of transportation services sit nearby, so getting out and about isn't much trouble. Broadway Care Assisted Living Plus puts a big focus on personalized care, and the staff supports residents with daily activities like bathing, dressing, medication management, and meals-plus they handle custodial care for folks who need a bit more help but don't need to be in a skilled nursing facility, and they'll coordinate with outside healthcare providers to keep things running smoothly.
Incontinence care and memory care services are also available, matching the needs of residents who may have special medical or cognitive challenges, and there's always a 24-hour call system and oversight to help keep everyone safe, which matters a lot to families and residents. Residents find a wide selection of activities-some run by staff, some by the community themselves-so no one feels left out, and the activity calendar aims to keep folks engaged, socially and mentally, with programs meant to support well-being and mental health, including special outings, community get-togethers, and scheduled arts and exercise.
The apartments come with cable or satellite TV, Wi-Fi, kitchenette, telephone, and there's a beauty salon onsite, plus easy access to gardens and outdoor spaces for fresh air and sunshine, or just watching the world go by for a while. Housekeeping takes care of chores like cleaning, and specialized diets-including diabetes meal plans-are prepared in the dining room, so restrictions get respected but meals still taste good. The entire place feels warm and welcoming, with an emphasis on safety, support, and helping residents keep as much independence as possible-even as everyone gets the help they need day to day, delivered by dedicated caregivers and staff who know many of the residents and their families by name after so many years. Broadway Care Assisted Living Plus makes sure care options are tailored, private, and respectful, all set in a community that keeps life simple, social, and safe for seniors living in Albert Lea.
