Barnes Care: Main Office/ Residence 1 sits in Esko, Minnesota, and is part of a family-owned care community. This place provides a warm setting with three separate buildings known as small houses, which let staff and residents form close bonds. The staff see everyone like family, and you can feel that in the cozy touches and the way people support each other. Barnes Care helps older adults who need different kinds of support, offering independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing all in one spot.
