Rem Woodvale Home sits in Dodge Center, Minnesota, and serves seniors needing different types of care in a comfortable residential setting, so you'll find people who need assistance with daily things like bathing, dressing, or medicine management, but you'll also see services for more advanced needs like skilled nursing and memory care for those with dementia, since the home offers programs that help reduce confusion and prevent wandering, and staff know how to keep things safe with secured community features and emergency call systems. There are different rooms like studios, one-bedrooms, semi-private, and two-bedroom options, many with private showers and whirlpool spas, and the building has wide hallways, wheelchair access, and handicap accessible features, making movement easier for everyone.
The home supports independent living, assisted living, and has aging-in-place options if someone's care needs change over time, so folks can often stay in one place. Staff members are on duty 24 hours a day to help with emergencies, help with moving from bed to wheelchair, and assist with personal needs like incontinence care, non-ambulatory care, and diabetic care, with nurses able to help with injectable medicine too. There's also respite and hospice care available, with physical and occupational therapists visiting as needed, and some programs focus on crisis intervention in partnership with local groups like CSS Region 10 Crisis and Family Partners of Minnesota, under different licensed providers approved by the state.
Rem Woodvale Home has a lot of amenities, including common indoor spaces for socializing, lounges and game rooms, an art studio, a sewing room, and a woodshop, plus a big community center, a library, and an auditorium for entertainment. There's a chapel, bistro, café, and an onsite barber and beauty shop. You'll see an enclosed garden with paths and garden plots, walking trails, a heated outdoor pool, patios, and wellness centers that include indoor and outdoor pools, a fitness center, aquatic center, and an indoor walking track, plus features like a billiard room, bocce court, pickleball courts, and a putting green for activities.
The facility also helps with house chores like laundry, home maintenance, and offers handyman projects such as bathroom repair, glass work, dryer vent cleaning, and even takes care of landscaping and snow removal, so the grounds stay nice year-round. You'll find painting services too, with staff who remove wallpaper and do specialty painting and power washing. On the practical side, plumbing work like septic tank cleaning and drain repairs are covered, and roof repairs and electrical jobs get done for safety and comfort. Parking and transportation services help residents and their families get around, with buses, scheduled rides, and trips offered.
Memory care is a strong focus, so the place is set up to make things less confusing and safer for folks with dementia, with special therapies and pet-friendly policies to help people feel at home. Small pets are allowed, and the building has high-speed Wi-Fi, extended cable, and private telephone service for each room, so family and friends can keep in touch. Meals are provided daily, so residents don't worry about shopping or cooking, and social and educational programs run all week, which include devotionals offsite, creative arts, gardening, and lifelong learning classes.
Rem Woodvale Home has been run for years by staff with over 30 years of combined senior care experience at Prairie Meadows Senior Living, and you can meet people who speak German, Polish, and Portuguese among the staff. They work with licensed and inspected programs and the home accepts both independent seniors and those who need care, whether that means daily assistance, skilled nursing, or memory care. Seniors here can expect meals, activities on site, outings, health care, moving help, and help with daily living so things run smoothly even as needs change over the years, all in a setting that feels like a neighborhood home.
