Suite Living Senior Care of Crystal sits at 3501 Douglas Dr N in Crystal, Minnesota, and is a small community with only 32 private suites, so things feel cozy, quieter, and a bit more personal. The community offers both assisted living and memory care, and these private suites include kitchenettes, cable or satellite TV, and WiFi, which some folks enjoy when they want time alone. The building is gated for safety and the staff keeps a close watch, and there's wheelchair accessibility just about everywhere, so people using walkers or chairs can get around pretty well. The care team has over 20 years of experience and every worker is hired and trained by Suite Living, so there's a sense that people know what to do and are familiar with how things go, and you won't find temporary or outside staff mixed in.
Assisted living services help residents with daily needs like meals, bathing, and medication reminders, and the memory care program supports folks with Alzheimer's or other dementia conditions, aiming for as much comfort, respect, and calm as possible. The staff includes part-time nurses, personal care assistants, and a team that handles hospice care, in-home care, medication, rehabilitative therapies, and spiritual support, depending on what people need. There's also a respite care option, which is a short-term stay if a family needs a break or their regular caregiver is away.
The place has regular programs including games, puzzles, arts and hobbies, music, and group activities, plus fitness and wellness sessions for those who want to stay more active, and kitchen staff make meals with fresh ingredients. Both housekeeping and linen services are part of the routine, so rooms stay clean and beds get freshened up, and there's on-site laundry too. Common areas have televisions and computers, and residents have access to internet in their suites if they want to check email or chat with family, and there's a garden outside for some air and sun. Religious services are provided in the community for those who value faith, and while Suite Living doesn't allow pets, overnight guests are welcome when families visit.
People pay an all-inclusive rent, which covers meals and utilities, and they accept checks, insurance, and Medicaid. There's an entry fee of $1,500 to move in. Suite Living Senior Care of Crystal is locally owned and keeps things straightforward, and for those who want a smaller, more intimate setting in the Crystal area, this community aims to offer care that keeps both physical comfort and spiritual well-being in mind. Virtual tours and videos are available to give families an idea of what the community is really like before visiting in person.
