Great Oak Senior Care helps seniors in Bloomington, Minnesota, and nearby places like Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan, Eden Prairie, Edina, Minnetonka, and Plymouth, and it's operated by Great Oak Senior Care, Inc., with Keith E Dahlen as the owner leading the business management team, and you'll find they have an A+ rating from the BBB connected with the Minnesota and North Dakota branch even though they're not accredited. The staff provides different senior care services, including home care, private duty, personal care, memory care for Alzheimer's and dementia, hospice, and in-home cancer care, along with respite for family caregivers who need a break, 24-hour home care if needed, fall prevention, and help with coming home from the hospital using their Welcome Home and hospital-to-home care programs, and folks can pick the caregiver and get help any day of the week or night, including support for sundowning. The assessment is simple-they start with a call, then a home visit, then match caregivers through in-person interviews and checks, picking staff who focus on safety and dignity, trained to treat seniors with kindness and respect, and caregivers help with bath, dressing, haircare, shaving, eating, hygiene, and toileting, plus they're there for company or just a few hours, or they can stay round-the-clock living in, and they make sure to offer peace of mind for families as seniors try to stay home and independent.
They give care wherever seniors are-private homes, assisted living places, hospitals, nursing centers, and rehab centers-offering choices for independent living if seniors are healthy, assisted living if they need help with daily tasks, and shared neighborhood homes where trained aides and live-in caregivers support residents. Inside, meals get made by chefs and meal planners who think about allergies and special diets like diabetes, and folks eat in nice dining rooms, with laundry and dry cleaning, housekeeping, and phones in rooms, and some rooms come furnished, and there's an emergency alert system in place to keep everyone safe. People find a garden, peaceful walking paths, an arts room, community and resident-led activities, transportation and parking for coming and going, a salon and barber for haircuts, movie night spots, and room to gather. Healthcare support comes with a 24-hour call system and supervision at all times, and medication management is part of the offerings, plus help with transfers and other daily needs. There's a focus on keeping seniors as independent as they can be, treating them with respect and care in everything they do, with the goal to let them live at home or in a safe place where their needs get met and they can feel comfortable and secure. Tours happen both online and in person, giving people a view of daily life, meals, and activities. The company has extra ways to be reached for business, responds by email, lets seniors and families talk to staff all day and night, and sticks to high standards for choosing and training caregivers. The services all aim to let seniors live safely, keep their dignity, and keep their independence as long as possible.
