Nimens Espegard Assisted Living sits at 1500 Widman Ln in Crookston, Minnesota, and is managed by Lloyd Management, which means you'll find support and structure, and the place has a faith-based approach that welcomes seniors from different backgrounds, and when you arrive, you'll notice the spacious 1 and 2 bedroom apartments, including studios, semi-private, and private units, all with features to help seniors live comfortably, like wheelchair-accessible spaces, walk-in tubs, stove appliances, refrigerators, ceiling fans, and controlled access for safety along with off-street parking so visitors and residents have a place for their cars, while the community stays smoke-free and quiet. Folks can use the on-site laundry or have staff handle laundry and housekeeping if that's easier, and with on-site amenities including a barber shop and a beauty salon, routine haircuts or personal grooming get taken care of right at home, and when you step outside, the courtyard gives a little green space, and the lawns stay trimmed and clear in winter with lawn care and snow removal services, all while water, trash, and sewer are included so there aren't hidden costs.
There's a community room where residents can meet, play games, or join in on exercise classes, crafts, and social activities, and some outings and excursions help everyone stay connected with what's nearby, like local restaurants right around the neighborhood, and there's transportation to help residents get to appointments or run errands without much worry. Meals come prepared for residents, and the kitchen staff tries for nutrition and balance, so there's less to cook or shop for yourself, and if anyone needs help with daily activities-like bathing, grooming, eating, or getting dressed-the staff can step in, and if someone needs help moving from a bed to a wheelchair, there's staff for that too, available all day and night in case an emergency comes up. Healthcare services cover assistance with managing medicines, checking insulin for those with diabetes, memory care, incontinence support, ambulatory care, non-ambulatory care, and skilled nursing when the situation calls for it, and with respite care, families can get a short break from daily caregiving.
The schedule often fills with social and wellness activities and spiritual support options, and there are devotional services off-site for those wanting a faith community, and the indoor common areas are places to talk or rest together, making the atmosphere warm and welcoming so residents don't feel alone or forgotten. The building itself uses safety features like medical alert systems, medication dispensers, and home security for peace of mind, and support staff handle moving, housekeeping, and any other extra needs, in case someone's care levels change. Many apartments have project-based rental assistance or affordable housing, making life here accessible for those on social security, veterans' benefits, or private pay, and sometimes there's a second person fee for shared rooms, a buy-in fee, or community and care needs fees that adjust to low, medium, or high, depending on how much extra help someone might want or need; payment can also go through commercial insurance. Nimens Espegard Assisted Living focuses on independence, safety, and community but keeps things real, providing tailored care, nutritious meals, a comfortable setting, and a routine with enough flexibility so seniors can live with dignity and company as they grow older.
