Autumn Cottages by Vivie

Autumn Cottages by Vivie sits in Alexandria, Minnesota and has a small, home-like setting with cottage-style houses that help people feel comfortable and safe while encouraging independence. The staff, called Cottage Heroes, provide care with respect and dignity, focusing on each resident's history and abilities, so everyone gets the attention they need, and with a higher staff-to-resident ratio, there's always someone nearby to help. Residents can join community-sponsored and resident-run activities every day, both indoors and off-site, and the setup encourages neighbors to connect and stay active. The community supports people who need independent living, assisted living, and specialized memory care, so those with conditions such as dementia or mild memory loss can have 24-hour support, with medication help, meal preparation, personal care, and memory-enhancing activities in a secure environment. Rooms have kitchenettes, telephone, and WiFi and come fully furnished, plus housekeeping and linen services let residents enjoy a maintenance-free lifestyle. There are also community rooms for social activities, mental wellness programs, and pet-friendly options. The health care staff help with everything from bathing and dressing to managing medication and coordinating with doctors, and skilled nursing services include rehabilitation, wound care, and help for more complex health needs, with round-the-clock medical support. Autumn Cottages by Vivie gives extra attention to safe, smooth move-ins and offers tours of its facilities so families and new residents can meet the staff and learn about life there. The community helps older adults live each day as fully as possible, with resources, daily support, and programs to match different needs, and it also connects people to career pathways in senior care, providing job information and training opportunities. The Minnesota Department of Health and the CDC back this facility, and you'll see the Vivie name and logo throughout. The community accepts residents with different care needs, including help at home, adult day services, home health care, long-term skilled nursing, or hospice support, aiming to keep everyone's comfort and well-being at the center of things.
