VitaCare Living of River Hill sits in Gary New Duluth at 126 98th Ave W, right in Duluth, Minnesota, where folks get a quiet small-town feel and can enjoy nature nearby, and you can tell they put a lot of care into making a place that feels familiar and comfortable for seniors. The community helps people needing all sorts of care, like independent living, assisted living, memory care for those with dementia or Alzheimer's, and even skilled nursing if someone needs more medical help, and they keep experienced staff around all day and night for safety and support. Residents here get help with everyday things like medication, bathing, dressing, and moving around if they need it, and every room, whether you want a private or shared space, comes furnished, has wheelchairs access, and an emergency alert system to call for help anytime.
Three meals a day are cooked and served in the dining room with snacks, including options for folks who need special diets for allergies or diabetes, and there are always activities going on, like bingo, holiday parties, walks, movies, and crafts, plus outings, community concerts, baking, and church or school volunteers stopping in, and there's even pet therapy. If you need nursing home services or just a bit of help to stay independent, the VitaCare staff will sit down to figure out a care plan that fits just what you need because everyone's different, and they keep up with safety upgrades, regular RN checks, and 24-hour supervision. Amenities like a garden, walking paths, art and game rooms, salon and barbershop, cable TV, WiFi, and in-unit washers and dryers are all part of daily life, and people get housekeeping, laundry, transportation, and parking too.
VitaCare Living of River Hill is structured to encourage everyone to keep as much independence as possible or help move toward it, and they have services for home care, adult day care, long-term skilled nursing, and even Medicare-certified home health or hospice care under the bigger VitaCare brand. People can expect to see staff trained in memory care and personal care, with regular move-in guidance if it's your first time in this kind of community, support with medication, bathing, dressing, grooming, and wound care, and they're open about the differences between all the types of care offered. Prices run from about $1,437 up to $10,331 per month, and the building keeps to a home-like feel with nostalgic furnishings and space where visitors, family, and volunteers are welcome, so there's a sense of dignity and warmth through each day.
