Elk River Senior Care has 115 licensed beds and offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care, including specialized dementia services licensed by state and local governments. The Blue Stone unit, identified as "Blue Stone 20241," provides extra support for memory care. You'll find long-term care services that don't take Medicare unless the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services certifies them, but the staff helps with things like incontinence, high acuity care, medication management, diabetic support, and non-ambulatory needs. The team includes a Director of Nursing and a Licensed Assisted Living Director who handle unexpected deaths, falls with injury, VA incidents, or elopement attempts, and there's an after-hours nursing line for emergencies or concerns. Families can call from 7am to 9pm in case an incident happens without injury.
This community has a focus on meaningful living and encourages residents to stay involved, with a variety of activities, social events, exercise programs, and wellness on wheels to keep everyone active. The apartments are spacious, have plenty of natural light, safety features, carpeting, and you'll find both independent and assisted living spaces with a continuum of care that lets people stay in the same community as their needs change. Housekeeping, a pub and billiard room, a library, a community room, a chapel, and outdoor features like a large covered porch, three-season porch, patios with gazebos, and a putting green add to the comfort. Chef-prepared meals get served in bright dining rooms or outdoors, and the Best Meals and Dining award shows meals use quality ingredients, with menus designed for residents' needs.
Security's addressed with controlled access, and there's Wi-Fi and high-speed internet throughout. Pets are welcome, and the building's handicap accessible, with an on-site salon for residents who want some pampering. The staff runs memory care programs with specialized support and brain-boosting tasks for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, and they keep residents active physically and mentally with an active therapy program, calendars of social and fitness events, and spiritual and educational activities. Residents get help with daily needs when needed, such as bathing, dressing, medical reminders, and scheduling, so people can age safely while still living as fully as possible. The staff has won awards for their kindness and joyfulness, and reviews often mention friendly team members and good activities. Elk River Senior Care has earned awards like Best of Senior Living and Best Meals and Dining for 2024, showing that people who live there and their families feel it's a solid place for seniors who need different levels of care. The whole community has a home-like feel with spacious apartments and different living options for every stage, from independence to more hands-on help, and residents can count on having something meaningful to do every day in a safe, friendly, and supportive setting.
