North County Nursing and Rehab sits at 800 Bemidji Ave N in Bemidji, MN, and the place covers quite a bit, with skilled nursing, rehab, assisted living, memory care, and independent living all under one roof. You'll find dedicated health workers who help folks with daily needs like bathing, dressing, and medicine, and they're around 24 hours in case something happens at night. There are options for studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, or semi-private rooms, and people can stay for a while or just come for respite care. For those who want extra support, the staff helps with things like insulin and diabetes checks, incontinence care, and moving from bed to wheelchair, and meals are served so nobody's stuck in the kitchen too much.
The community is pet-friendly, offers special meal options, and transportation is available, even for wheelchairs. Seniors who want more freedom can check out independent or low-income housing, condos, or try to find a roommate if they have disabilities. Some folks get help right in their own homes and there's help for home changes like ramps or modified bathrooms. People who need mental health care, counseling, hospice, or even detox services can access those, and there are adult day care, family adult day care, and even services for kids who need a hand during hard times. The place helps seniors find information on costs, guides for different types of care, and offers common rooms to talk, do activities, or take part in religious services.
Employment help, rehabilitative services, home health agencies, psychiatric hospitals, and crisis care are all close by since it's part of North Country Health Services. The facility works with Medicaid and different fee levels depending on needs, so there are options-but each person's situation will feel a little different depending on care and costs. Staff takes a personal approach based on what each person needs, and they support people with disabilities, mental illness, and recovery goals. Activities run on-site or off, and there's support for aging in place with things like emergency alerts, security, special phones, and internet plans.
There's no flash or show, just a whole lot of different services all trying to make life a little more manageable for seniors and families in Bemidji and the surrounding area, whether folks need a bit of help, someone to talk to, or a whole team behind them as they get older.
