Alternative Senior Care I sits in Sauk Centre and Alexandria, Minnesota, and offers many ways for seniors to stay active, safe, and supported every day, plus folks can get help with things like bathing, dressing, taking their medicine, and getting around, and they also make sure there's always someone there with a 24-hour call system and supervision if anyone needs help, so families do get some peace of mind. Residents can enjoy daily planned activities, movie nights, and community or resident-run events that help people get to know each other, and there are gardens, library, walking paths, a barber or beauty salon, Wi-Fi, and cable TV, so folks have choices about how to spend their day. Meals come restaurant-style in the dining room with options for diabetes, allergies, or other special diets, and there's a kitchenette in every fully furnished apartment, which are ready for up to 21 residents to call home at the main site.
Care workers help with medication management and support those who need reminders or even a little company, plus skilled nursing, memory care, and assisted living services are all available, and for seniors who aren't ready to move, there are connections with Medicare-certified home health agencies for medical needs at home, which sometimes cost less in the long-run than a full-time nursing home. The mental wellness program and aging services coordination help residents stay sharp and feel supported, and the team sets up care to fit each person's health needs and routines. Folks get individualized attention, whether they're part of independent living, need some personal and homemaking help, or use transportation and companionship services-everything's guided by understanding what seniors and their families need, and the staff aim to help people live as well as they can wherever they call home. Alternative Senior Care I has been locally owned and family run since 2005 and remains dedicated to offering reliable, caring support to seniors across Central Minnesota.
