Heritage Of Edina I

Heritage Of Edina I sits in a neighborhood close to parks, with places to eat like Shake Shack and Starbucks nearby, and the Fairview Southdale Hospital less than a mile away, so medical care and daily needs are easy to reach, and since the place has been around since 1960, making it the oldest privately owned assisted living community in Minnesota, there's a certain historic charm along with a lot of experience behind how things run, and because it's independently operated and not run by a big company, staff can pay attention to people's individual needs with dedicated care teams, including nurses and case managers, so residents can get help with bathing, dressing, medication management, and even more involved support as their needs change, since the facility has a full range of care from independent living to assisted living, extended assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing, and folks can choose private or shared apartments-some with kitchenettes-plus each one has a private bathroom, air conditioning, cable, phone, and Wi-Fi, while outside there are gardens and outdoor spaces for fresh air. Residents can also use a beauty shop, fitness room, computer center, game room, small library, dining room, and a wellness center, and they offer a visiting doctor program, so it's convenient, and the staff keeps a 24-hour watch with a call system and 12 to 16 hours of nursing on-site, making sure help is there when needed, and memory care at Heritage Of Edina I is specially set up for people with cognitive concerns, with programs and trained staff on hand. The community hosts all sorts of activities-exercise, art, music, planned trips, social groups-to keep people active and social, plus transportation goes to doctor appointments and other errands. Heritage Of Edina I supports home care, home health, hospice services, adult care home services, and even short-term respite stays for family caretakers needing a break, and they coordinate with outside agencies like Bluestone Physicians, home care, and hospice partners for a full continuum of care, including end-of-life support right on-site. Because it's been around a long time, there are flexible funding options too, working with Medicaid programs like Elderly Waiver, CADI, and BI, and there's usually a short waiting list, which helps folks who need quicker placement, so overall, Heritage Of Edina I looks after seniors by blending historic elegance with a practical approach to care, always trying to make life comfortable, safe, and respectful for each resident, no matter what kind of support or lifestyle someone needs, with prices starting at $5,489 per month but lots of choices for different budgets and needs.
