Spero Belle Plaine - 55+ Independent Senior Living sits in a quiet spot in Belle Plaine, MN, right across from Emma Krumbee's Apple Orchard, and is part of the Spero Senior Ministries group. The community's for adults aged 55 and older, featuring 55 one- and two-bedroom apartments in a modern three-story building with heated underground parking and extra storage, and you'll find most places inside have simple, open layouts for easy movement. Seniors live in independent apartments, condos, or townhomes and don't hassle with homeownership, so they've got time to enjoy a lifestyle focused on aging in place and active living. Spero Belle Plaine's fully connected by hallways to Ridgeview Health Campus, including Ridgeview Clinic, Ridgeview Rehab, Urgent Care, and First Choice Pharmacy, which lets residents get care without going outside. The place is known for being safe, clean, and affordable, with high marks in care quality and resident satisfaction from what folks say.
The building's got lots of features made for older adults, like walk-in tubs, home security options, ID theft protection, senior safety guides, and medication dispensers, so people feel secure. Technology help is available, too, with senior-focused internet and cell phone plans, plus hearing aid resources, which can help keep everyone connected. For wellness and social time, there's a community room, chapel, pub, puzzle nook, exercise and fitness center, beauty salon, and even a furnished outdoor patio, and there are walking paths around the property for fresh air and exercise. There's Wi-Fi and high-speed internet all over, and each unit has modern design touches and good lighting.
Care options depend on what's needed, going from independent living to memory care with extra oversight, personalized care plans, and a Care Team who supports every part of daily life, aiming to help residents feel their best. The community's pet-friendly, offers nutritious meals with quality ingredients, and has housekeeping and laundry services to lighten the load, while maintenance comes with the package. Family members get education and support, and residents have a say in community events and activities, which means the agenda reflects their interests, not just a set program.
HUD sets income limits for those who qualify, making the apartments more affordable. The nonprofit's mission is to "inspire hope in every life we touch," with a real focus on Christian values, quality, integrity, and compassion. Spero Belle Plaine tries to feel like a "Home with Heart," giving residents both privacy and company, so they can live how they want and stay connected in a safe, caring place just south of Minneapolis, surrounded by green spaces and quiet.
