Sanford Health Baker Park Housing

Sanford Health Baker Park Housing sits along Lake Bemidji on the Sanford Lakeside Campus at 803 Dewey Ave NE in Bemidji, Minnesota, and folks know it for offering a wide mix of care and support because it's tied to Sanford Health, so you see healthcare services are close by, plus the property is managed by The Schuett Companies, who handle other affordable properties too. The place has 49 apartments, spread over three floors, with two elevators, and serves people aged 62 and older who meet the eligibility rules, especially those with a lower income, since it's subsidized by HUD, and you'll find it's got its own name-Baker Park Housing. The community is mostly for seniors who want independent living but might need a little help now and again, so you can get assisted living services like daily support, meals, medication help, and personal care, or more medical attention if you need skilled nursing or memory care, and you'll see extras like adult daycare, rehab therapy, respite care for short stays, and even hospice care when the time comes. Each apartment fits the basics-wall-to-wall carpet, a large walk-in shower, a full-size fridge, an oven of your own, and there's an emergency call cord too, plus shared spaces like lounge areas, a big community room, and laundry right there on-site, and for safety, you get secured doors, handrails in the halls, and easy elevator access for anyone with mobility issues. Folks can take part in social activities each month, and outdoor spots have patio furniture and paved paths, so it's easy to get some fresh air, with a beauty and barber salon, wellness equipment, and dining services-20 meal plans a month if you want them, and general maintenance covered. It sits in a middle-income neighborhood with bus lines that go to the hospital, medical clinics, and shopping malls, and it's close to restaurants, churches, and a library downtown, so it's easy for residents to get out into the community if they wish. The campus also has skilled nursing care with 78 beds for those who need close medical attention, and specialized memory care with secure environments and programs for folks with conditions like Alzheimer's. This community tries to give seniors choices about their care, encourages independence, and pays attention to both safety and comfort, with options for different needs and changes as life goes on.
