The James, also known as The James Inc. in Bloomington, MN, serves as a residential care home community for older adults who need different levels of support, including assisted living, independent living, nursing care, and memory care. The care environment at The James has a home-like feel with rustic hardwood floors, open floor plans, and a brick fireplace, and residents can relax in single or shared rooms decorated to their own taste while living among garden paths and outdoor walking areas. The James covers a range of care types, so there's help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and medication, plus support for those who need wound care, rehab, or special therapies for memory loss, like Alzheimer's or dementia, all in secure, supervised environments for safety and peace of mind.
The community runs both resident- and community-sponsored activities, scheduled every day, with things like movie nights and art room sessions, while folks can use telephones, cable TV, and Wi-Fi in their rooms or take part in events in shared spaces. Dining services offer daily nutritious meals and can cater to special dietary needs like diabetes or allergies, all served in a common dining room with all-day access, and household tasks are managed by staff, offering regular housekeeping, laundry, dry cleaning, and linen changes. Residents have a 24-hour call system and staff supervision round the clock, including a skilled nurse for ongoing checkups, and there's maintenance-free living thanks to things like transportation for doctor visits or personal trips, coordination with healthcare providers, and a furnished environment for comfort and ease.
Amenities like a barber or salon, a kitchenette in rooms, and communal gardens make daily life more enjoyable, with move-in coordination and support for new residents. Caregivers at The James receive training to help people with all kinds of needs-from help with transfers and personal hygiene to support during memory care tasks-while medication management and emergency alert systems keep everyone safer.
