Serendipitous Living sits in a quiet residential spot at 7935 Upper 139th Court West, Apple Valley, MN 55044, and offers a unique approach by focusing on spontaneous joy and discovery along with daily needs, which means you see a lot of things here that try to spark happiness and encourage personal growth, and there's a big emphasis on "serendipitous moments" and "living intentionally," which you won't find everywhere-some days you'll join in community activities, sometimes you'll just relax and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere, with staff working to support both mental and emotional health. The place has a homey feel, with only five residents, so folks get plenty of personal attention and support. There are several care options, from board and care homes in neighborhood houses to continuing care retirement communities where you can age in place, as well as assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and independent living, all focused on helping each person stay independent and feel connected while getting the help they need.
You'll find big, comfortable dining areas, outdoor gardens you can stroll through, and furnished units that come with cable TV, telephones, and high-speed internet, and the move-in help makes settling in less of a hassle. Meals are made daily with choices for special diets, including diabetes management, and there are always snacks and drinks around. Housekeeping, laundry, and even dry cleaning are handled, with emergency alert systems in every living space, and scheduled transportation gets folks to medical appointments, errands, or even outings to places like local parks, restaurants, or coffee shops. There's a mix of semi-private, one-bedroom, and studio units, with rates starting at $3,719 per month. Care teams help with bathing, medication, dressing, and transfers, and there's always someone available for 24-hour supervision. Residents have access to a lot of activities-some planned by the community and some resident-run-so there's always something on the calendar, covering everything from social things to mental wellness programs and memory-enhancing activities for folks living with Alzheimer's or dementia.
The memory care spaces are secure and calm, with gardens and walking paths, and every resident gets helped as much or as little as they need. That support includes help with diets, care coordination with providers, and all the daily tasks that can get tricky like bathing or moving around. People looking for short stays or caregivers needing a break can choose respite care, and anyone needing complex medical care can get round-the-clock skilled nursing, including wound care, medication help, and rehab services. The community puts a lot of energy into fostering a sense of belonging, encouraging folks to explore, discover, and join in, whether it's through scheduled daily activities or simply spending time in the gardens or spacious dining rooms. There's always a focus on community, wellness, and living each day with intention, so life here is as peaceful, supportive, and genuine as you want it to be.
