Blue Lake Homes sits at 1013 West River Road in Champlin, Minnesota, and offers a 24-hour customized living facility with a mental health specialty for adults ages 20 to 62 who may have both mental health diagnoses and daily living needs, and the place also accepts adults age 55 and older for assisted living services, so you'll see a wide range of needs being met under one roof. Residents can choose between private and semi-private rooms, and there's always awake staff on duty, with RNs and LPNs available to provide skilled nursing care, medication setup, administration, and monitoring, and the team works closely with your own doctor or psychiatrist if you have one, while also managing psychological support and behavior management-this includes specialized care for Alzheimer's, dementia, and diabetic management like sliding scale insulin, plus oxygen therapy as needed. You don't need to worry about meals since there are three a day, restaurant-style, with snacks, and they do handle meal preparation for special diets such as diabetes and allergy-sensitive needs, with a focus on comfort and nutrition, and residents get laundry, dry cleaning, and light housekeeping included. There's a housekeeping program to keep things tidy, a move-in coordination service to help you get settled, and the staff actively provides both long-term and respite (short-term) care, in case a caregiver needs relief or you're just recovering at home from something. You see a focus on independence and dignity here, so help with activities like bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, and transfers comes with a respectful approach, while staff makes sure to give medication reminders, activity prompts, and help with daily routines, whether someone needs full support or only a little guidance.
Residents enjoy a home-like atmosphere with furnished rooms, but you can bring your own furniture if you want, and every room has free cable TV and WiFi so you're always connected, plus there's a telephone in each room for convenient calls. There's a large range of amenities, such as a library, arts room, salon/barber, walking paths, community garden, and a full calendar of activities-including movie nights, resident-organized events, arts, and social programming-with an emergency alert system and 24-hour call system for safety. Blue Lake Homes has a mental health specialty, taking a proactive approach to support, and offers services like mental health behavior management, counseling, and diabetic management, with caregiving staff all insured, screened, and certified, including dementia care training. For people needing more supportive care, either temporarily or long-term, Blue Lake Homes arranges transportation in the metro area and designates smoking areas for those who smoke, and if someone is receiving hospice care, staff works with Shema Home Care to provide in-home support. You get peer companionship, personal care, and help with activities or outings outside the home as needed, and there are LifeCare and KidCare programs in place, covering a full range of supportive services.
With competitive monthly rates starting at $4,943, the facility is licensed by the state and accepts CADI Waiver funding, offering immediate openings, so if a person needs a short-term stay, full-time care, or specialized mental health support, Blue Lake Homes tries to meet a wide variety of personal and medical needs, with a team that's trained, caring, and committed to resident dignity and comfort every day.
