Cherrywood Of Andover sits in a Andover, Minnesota neighborhood, and has small, single-level homes for up to ten residents each, so you hardly ever feel crowded and you get to know the people around you pretty well, and these homes have private and shared rooms, all fully furnished, with private bathrooms, air conditioning, and kitchenettes that make it easy to move around and be comfortable, and the master suite with an eight-foot window and in-floor heat is something people notice, plus the spacious kitchen with stone countertops always stays busy with staff preparing and serving organic meals, which work for special diets too. Residents don't have to worry about cooking, cleaning, or laundry because staff do all that, and they provide daily housekeeping, linen service, and maintenance, so life's a lot easier. Each room comes with cable TV, telephone, and internet, so it's pretty easy to keep in touch with family, while the emergency alert and 24-hour call system give some peace of mind, along with round-the-clock supervision and assistance.
Staff can help with bathing, dressing, medication management, and transfers, including those who need lifts, and a Licensed Practical Nurse is on-site or on-call all day, with a Registered Nurse doing assessments and helping coordinate with doctors or therapy when needed, so no matter if you're in assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, or need end-of-life care, the same staff stick with you the whole way, which helps with comfort and routine. People get help getting to doctor appointments or to the grocery store, either with the facility's vans or with arranged rides, and folks living there always have access to a busy community calendar, things like movie nights, volunteer program visits, scenic walking paths, a garden, and group activities or fitness classes, plus there's a barber and salon for anyone who wants it. Residents have some choices when it comes to paying too, including private pay, long term care insurance, and some Minnesota-specific programs like EW and CADI, all with all-inclusive pricing that depends on the level of care you need.
It all sits at 1889 139th Ave NW, with wheelchair-accessible spaces and extra help for transfers, so people with mobility troubles get what they need, and because the home is small, neighbors are often involved in each other's lives, sharing stories by the fireplace or drinking coffee in the morning. The community lets residents make choices about how they spend their day, while staff guide and help with daily activities so everyone can be as independent as possible. Families get support too, which can help with tough transitions or when care needs change. Cherrywood Of Andover has an average user review rating of 4.0 from 32 reviews, and they're accepting new residents now and the staff arrange tours for people who want a look around before deciding.
