English Rose Suites 1, also called English Rose Suites - Braemar Hills Home, stands at 6201 Loch Moor Drive in Edina, Minnesota, on a scenic hill with views of Mirror Lake and wildlife, and the whole place feels like a warm house with only six residents at a time, which makes it quiet and comfortable. This community offers memory care for people living with Alzheimer's, dementia, or cognitive troubles, and folks with Parkinson's or other complex needs can get specialized help too. The staff stays awake and present around the clock, helping with things like getting dressed, bathing, walking, or getting to the bathroom, and they keep safety a top priority with panic buttons, full safety features in each room, and gentle supervision to prevent wandering or confusion.
Residents live in private or shared rooms, with options that include studios, one-bedrooms, and all come fully furnished, with features like wheelchair accessible showers, bathtubs, cable TV, and Wi-Fi throughout, plus family rooms with fireplaces for visits and relaxing. The home has large spaces for eating and meeting, like a big dining hall where chef-inspired meals and diabetic-friendly dishes are served, and snacks are always on hand. There are wide decks and verandas, sunrooms warmed by natural light, screened porches for fresh air, cozy nooks with wood-paneling and fireplaces, and a fenced walking trail around a garden pond, all designed for comfort and easy outdoor enjoyment.
Residents keep busy with arts and crafts, daily activities, off-site trips, movie nights, and even devotional services, both on and off campus, so there's always something to do at home or somewhere local to visit. There's an on-site beauty and barbershop, laundry, housekeeping, and staff who help with moving or organizing when folks come to stay, either long-term or just for respite care. Moving assistance and free rides to medical appointments make transitions and health care easier, and the place will set up extra rides at cost if necessary. The community also offers support for families, including emotional guidance, care consultations, and counseling, both in-person and online, and the Dementia Map resource and blog are there for families needing tips about sleep, memory loss, or senior transitions.
Healthcare covers medication, incontinence, diabetes, mental wellness, hospice, and care for people who have trouble getting around, all while keeping privacy and dignity in mind. English Rose Suites 1 partners with nearby doctors, hospitals, and pharmacies, and there's a nurse ready to help all the time. The design is thoughtful, with floor-to-ceiling windows, elegant artful details like a walnut staircase, gardens outside, and homelike furniture that make it easy to feel settled in. Leadership visits daily, and programs like Loch Wood Home build care plans tailored for each person living there. People living here can get care in this home or through English Rose's home health services, and support stays strong no matter which way a family needs it. The calm neighborhood, roomy indoor and outdoor spaces, and friendly staff all help make things simpler, safer, and more comfortable for older adults needing memory support or daily living help.
