Hidden Creek Assisted Living sits in a quiet residential neighborhood in Chaska, Minnesota, with a Laketown mailing address, and the building holds up to 22 licensed residents in a smaller, home-like setting where everyone tends to know each other and can get help pretty fast. The facility supports English speakers, has wheelchair-accessible features throughout the building, and gives residents a choice between private rooms, semi-private rooms, studios, and even 2-bedroom options, with some starting at $5,200 a month and fees depending on the level of care, including second-person and respite options. Staff are available 24 hours a day-including certified nurses and licensed aides-so someone's always awake and ready to help with anything from bathroom trips and managing medicines to getting dressed or grooming, and caregivers are known to quickly call family when any urgent needs pop up. For people who need a lot of help, Hidden Creek does diabetic care, catheter and colostomy care, incontinence management, behavior support for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, and even helps with people who are at risk of wandering or acting out, with special bracelets and alarms used to keep everyone safe.
Meals are home-cooked and served three times daily, with snacks available, so residents don't have to do their own cooking, and the housekeeping and laundry services keep things tidy. The facility offers a regular schedule of activities right on the property as well as outings and events offsite, between games, exercise programs, religious services, reading, social groups, and more, plus the indoor and outdoor spaces like a sun porch, patios, gardens, and a gazebo help everyone stretch out and get some sunshine when it's nice out. The memory care wing is set up with secured doors and special staff training to stay on top of people living with Alzheimer's or other dementias, and management says they try their best to keep folks comfortable even as their needs change, so people don't have to leave if they get sicker or need more help down the road.
In addition to personal care, residents get supervised transportation for medical appointments and grocery or pharmacy trips, hair and grooming services with an onsite beautician, internet access, TV and books, and a lock-and-key setup for privacy and security. The place takes private pay, Social Security, veteran's benefits, and private insurance, but families will want to talk about fees, which can depend on how much help a resident needs, and about buy-in or community fees too. The whole set-up tries to keep things warm and familiar, more like a big family house than an institution, with plenty of attention paid to preserving independence and dignity wherever possible. Hidden Creek Assisted Living accepts people with many care needs, including those needing memory care, respite care, or end-of-life hospice, and keeps a steady focus on offering a safe and comfortable home for older adults as they age.
