St Raphael's Health & Rehab

St Raphael's Health & Rehab is a medium-sized community where people get both assisted living and skilled nursing care, so folks can stay if they need just a bit of help or if they need more serious medical support, and there always seems to be a focus on health and wellness through many healthcare services for recovery or daily living-help with bathing, dressing, getting around, medication management, and things like wound care, insulin checks for diabetes, or incontinence support, and there's always a nurse or staff member around day and night if something happens or if any emergencies come up. The place gives memory care too, with secure areas for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, specialized programs, and memory activities, so older people can feel safe and stay as independent as possible, which is good for families who worry. Meals are served daily with attention to diets-like if someone has diabetes or needs a certain kind of food-and there are kitchenettes, furnished rooms with phones and cable, plus Wi-Fi to keep people comfortable and able to call their loved ones. The building offers common areas like a dining room, a garden for fresh air, walking paths to stretch the legs, an arts room, a salon for haircuts, and movie nights or other activities so people don't just have to sit all day but can join in when they want, which helps with making friends and keeping busy. Folks can get help moving from a bed to a chair if they need it, and there's always a call button and 24-hour supervision to look out for everyone's safety, which makes the whole place feel secure. St Raphael's accepts Medicaid and Medicare, which helps some residents with costs, and can even arrange transportation to medical appointments or nearby clinics like Fresenius Medical Care and Eveleth Iron Range Clinic, covering healthcare not just in the walls but out in the community too. People can join devotional activities if they'd like, and there are regular social events, both inside and off the property, so there's some balance between keeping up with health and also staying social, and that all seems to fit with their goal of supporting both independence and wellness, though nobody promises perfection. Caregivers and staff put effort into building a respectful, warm place to live, and short-term respite care is also available when families need a break or if someone is recovering after the hospital, making it a place that covers many needs under one roof.
