Castle Ridge (now Flagstone)

Castle Ridge, now called Flagstone, sits in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, and offers many types of senior living, like assisted living, independent living, memory care, and nursing support, and you'll find a real variety of services there, starting with personal care, meals, help with medication, bathing, and housekeeping, plus support for moving around, so people can keep their independence as long as possible, though there's always help close by when needed, and staff there are known for being helpful and sorting out problems quickly, and if someone has dementia, the secure memory care wing has programs and activities set up to help with memory, and couples can even stay together in a memory care room if they need to, which is something not a lot of places offer, and the place has an easy, friendly feeling with lots of chances for residents to get together playing cards, joining activities, or just chatting in common areas like the dining room or a spot for arts and flower arranging. Folks can pick furnished private or semi-private rooms, most with their own bathroom, air conditioning, cable, and room service, and there's support from nurses twelve to sixteen hours a day and a system to call for help anytime. There are also on-site therapy teams, dietitians, and even spiritual care with a campus pastor. The community has plenty of practical features, such as house cleaning, meals delivered at home, wellness programs, transportation for doctor's appointments, and a general store, plus fun extras like a movie theater, library, gardening spots, outdoor spaces, billiards, swimming pool, wood shop, pickleball court, bike storage, salon, and more, plus there are guest suites, garage parking, storage lockers, and a car wash bay. Staff focus on matching each person to the right level of care, whether someone needs help for a little while after a hospital stay, ongoing support in memory care, or just wants an independent place to live with some extra services, and they've got home health, respite, rehab, wellness options, and even hospice or meals at home if needed. There are scheduled group activities, day trips, and resident-run clubs, and the whole place is kept clean and running smoothly, with maintenance on hand for any fixes, and staff also make sure no one's wandering by, for example, not giving out elevator codes so people stay safe. The general atmosphere is welcoming, clean, and built to help with both health needs and a good social life, and for families looking for a senior living community in the Eden Prairie area, Flagstone covers a wide range of needs for older adults.
