Johnson Memorial Assisted Living

Johnson Memorial Assisted Living sits about 17 miles outside Montevideo, Minnesota, in Dawson, and offers care for a small group of seniors in a quiet, comfortable setting with only 16 licensed beds, providing both privacy and community, and you'll find people living in unfurnished suites-12 singles and 2 companion rooms-each suite with private bathrooms, handicap accessible showers, whirlpool tubs, kitchenettes, spacious closets, small refrigerators, and microwaves, so every resident can feel at home and still get the help they need. You've got a sunroom for relaxing or visiting, big shared dining room, outdoor garden paths, and community spaces for playing games, watching movies, doing crafts, and even getting a haircut at the on-site barber or salon, while the daily schedule keeps residents engaged with arts, movie nights, spiritual services in the chapel, holiday events, CPR training, and community activities like obstacle courses, since keeping busy is key. Johnson Memorial Assisted Living stays connected to the larger Johnson Memorial Health Services campus, with on-site access if needed to the Care Center, Hospital, and Clinic, so seniors can get physical therapy, wound care, skilled nursing, rehab, and medical weight loss services, which are all useful for folks with complex health needs or after an illness. Staff provides 24-hour supervision, help with things like transfers, bathing, medication management, and dressing, all while supporting independence and aging in place as much as possible, and the mental wellness program offers extra support for memory or cognitive issues, with 24-hour care in specialized memory units and memory-enhancing activities for seniors with Alzheimer's or dementia. Residents can pick shared or private rooms, with prices starting at $3,500 for a shared bedroom and $4,400 for a private room, and they get laundry, dry cleaning, housekeeping, meal service, including meals for allergies or diabetes, and transportation and parking for errands or appointments. The community gives both long-term and respite care, including help with daily living, personal care, and medication, and makes it easy for seniors who want to keep their independence but need some help, since staff respond with a 24-hour call system. Johnson Memorial Assisted Living also works with the Long-Term Care Ombudsman to advocate for residents, and offers a maintenance-free lifestyle, resort-style amenities, and organized opportunities for socializing. Seniors can choose to join resident-run activities, use landscaped walking trails, or take part in spiritual services from different denominations in the on-site chapel every week, which means comfort and variety are both available, and with a community score of 3.8 from Seniorly, it's a solid option for people looking for a medium-sized, supportive, and compassionate place to live out their retirement with just the right amount of help.
