Goldpine Home sits about two miles outside the town of Bemidji, Minnesota, and serves as a senior living community focused on both assisted living and skilled nursing care. The community offers studio rooms in different layouts and keeps rooms furnished, with private bathrooms and telephones in each room. Staff provide help with bathing, dressing, transfers, and medication management, and there's licensed nursing care on-site at all times, with registered nurses on-call around the clock. Goldpine Home supports residents through a range of care types, including assisted living, memory care, companion care, nursing homes, and specialized home care, and offers both short-term respite and long-term care. Seniors can also get help with diabetic care, incontinence needs, non-ambulatory care, and hospice care if needed. The staff includes a life enrichment coordinator named Sarah Sundeen who plans daily and weekly activities, a business manager Olive Smith, LALD, a food services manager Mike Davis, CFPM, a maintenance manager Chris Brauhn, and a clinical nurse supervisor Clarissa Dowhower, RN, with oversight by owner Dustin R Holloway.
Goldpine keeps a supportive and active community. Residents eat meals in a community dining room with all-day dining options, and the staff adjusts diets for allergies and diabetes when needed, with meals at set times and snacks available day or night. The kitchen is open for residents who want a bite or drink outside regular hours. Laundry, housekeeping, transportation, and parking are provided, and a beauty/barber shop operates weekday mornings for hair styling, or by appointment, so folks can get their hair done before lunch or visits. There are indoor and outdoor family areas, walking paths, a garden, courtyards, a movie room, and places to sit and talk or just watch the birds. Goldpine Home encourages activity and togetherness, with scheduled programs, resident-run activities, movie nights, music, dancing, and spiritual support services. There's a 24-hour call system and supervision for safety, along with security, medication dispensers, and medical alert systems like Medical Guardian Review, Bay Alarm Medical, and ADT Medical Alert. Seniors can choose from a mix of independent apartments, condos, townhomes, and assisted living spaces, with a focus on supporting aging in place as safely as possible.
Healthcare at Goldpine Home includes home support, rehabilitation, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy, either on-site or off-site, and care gets coordinated with local clinics and hospitals in Bemidji for emergencies or inpatient needs. Residents can also receive pharmaceutical counseling, spiritual counseling, and case management or social services with referrals as needed. Staff work with each person and their families to make care choices that keep seniors safe and as independent as possible. The facility has regular safety and health inspections and remains state-licensed for assisted living and nursing home care. Community philosophy emphasizes choice, independence, and family involvement, with open lines of communication between staff, residents, and loved ones.
