The Gardens at Cannon Falls sits in Goodhue County and has skilled nursing care with personal care all day and help with medications. The place offers different care types, including assisted living, memory care, nursing homes, independent living, and a hospice program. There's a secure memory care unit, so people with Alzheimer's disease or other memory problems stay safe, as the areas are locked and prevent wandering. They give short-term and long-term rehabilitation with a B+ grade for short-term care and also offer therapy services like speech, occupational, and physical therapy, which helps residents build strength and communication.
Everyday support is available, like bathing, dressing, transfers, medication management, meal preparation using organic foods, and help with daily tasks. Meals are prepared by a professional chef, and there are options for special diets. Residents get clean rooms, housekeeping, linen service, and transportation for appointments. There's constant supervision with a 24-hour nurse call system, and medical staff including a medical director, doctor, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, certified nursing assistants, pharmacists, dieticians, social workers, and feeding assistants are on site, with hours for each patient set. They have a license from Goodhue County and operate as a Limited Liability Company, supervised by Mr. Steven Fritzke.
The building can hold up to 74 skilled nursing beds and 74 nursing home beds. People can choose private suites or shared rooms which come fully furnished, often with kitchenettes, cable TV, internet, private bathrooms, air conditioning, and telephones. You'll see activity rooms, a fitness and wellness suite, a movie theater, an arts room, a game room, a library, and common community spaces. There are gardens and walking paths for time outdoors, as well as parking and transportation.
Residents can join in community activities, movie nights, and music programs, and there are resident and family councils offering a way to get involved in decision making. Their services help people who need transitional care after hospital stays, those needing long-term support, and those needing end-of-life care. Specialized services cover homemaking, speech and physical therapy, medication supervision, nutritional counseling, and inpatient rehab. The Gardens at Cannon Falls takes both Medicare and Medicaid. They also provide resources like move-in help and access to a senior living advisor. Staff aim to deliver care in a compassionate way, with organized efforts to check and improve services.
