Suite Living Forest Lake

Suite Living Forest Lake offers both assisted living and memory care services, so you'll find help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, medication reminders, and meals, and in addition, their staff supports those living with Alzheimer's or other kinds of dementia in a secure, simplified, and safe building that's easy to get around, since all 18-20 private suites are on one floor to help people stay as independent as they can. The memory care unit is small and personal, which makes it easier for the care team to know each person's needs, and you can see them taking time to focus on everything from spiritual and cultural preferences to nutrition, since the RN staff does detailed assessments. There's 24-hour support, and the building is gated for security, so families worry less, and the staff offers therapies such as occupational and physical therapy, too, all while offering short-term respite care to give primary caregivers a break. The common areas, like the dining room, are close to each suite, so residents don't have to walk far, and scheduled activities, movie nights, guest meals, and devotionals are available if people want to join in. The place is equipped for both ambulatory and non-ambulatory residents, uses an emergency alert system, and has internet and cable in rooms for those who want it, along with kitchenettes. Staff can help with housekeeping, laundry, and coordinating a move. There's an enclosed courtyard, a beauty salon, and spaces for games or computer use, and they're happy to prepare meals that follow special diets for those who need them. High-speed internet, parking for visitors, wheelchair-friendly features, handicap access, and all-inclusive rent are part of what they offer, with spiritual care also available if desired. Suite Living Forest Lake gives tours for families who want to get a feel for daily life, and the community has received some awards for its meals, dining, activity program, and friendly atmosphere. State licensing is pending, and the facility checks its licensing status twice a year. The team includes aides who can offer companionship and help for those needing non-medical care at home.
