Diane's Place

Diane's Place, operated by Family Tree Homes LLC in Elk River, is a small adult care home with space for up to ten residents, and it's been around for some years now with special attention to folks who need help with daily things or have memory concerns, and you know it's run like a family but not fancy or flashy-just careful and steady care with a focus on respect and comfort. The home's got private bedrooms, some big ones too, and they're fully furnished, with wheelchair and chair lifts, a roll-in shower, and doors that lock for safety, plus a fire system that's always on. Kassandra L. Eull is the lab director, since the place runs a lab that's been open four years and is approved for handling a variety of lab types, so they know their way around medical needs. Caregivers stay awake all night, and the staff helps with bathing, dressing, meals, medication, and moving around, so folks are never left alone if help is needed and you'll find someone nearby when you call. They make meals for different diets, like for diabetes or allergies, served right in the dining room, and there's even dry cleaning, laundry, and someone to help with moving in, so you don't have to worry about too many chores. Activities, community events, gardening, movie nights, and time outdoors happen regularly, and the garden and walking paths are there for peace and quiet or visiting with friends. All rooms come with phone access and there's always Wi-Fi or TV for those who want it. The house assists with transport to doctor appointments, supports all sorts of health needs, and offers both short-term respite care and longer stays. Special features like a community alert system and doors that lock keep everyone safer, and folks with disabilities or trouble walking will find the home accessible, so no one feels left out. There's no open complaint or survey records, but it's always best to check on room openings by calling, since those change. Payment options are pretty broad, including CADI Waiver, VA benefits, select insurances, or private pay, and they do try to work with folks to keep everyone comfortable, independent, and safe as best they can.
