Berg's Board & Lodge sits in Fosston, Minnesota, about eleven and a half miles from Winger, and folks there know the place by both "Berg's Board & Lodge" and sometimes "Riverside Board & Lodge Inc." It's a group residence that offers seniors assisted living, memory care for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, and even hospice care at Serenity Assisted Living. The staff helps with daily things like bathing, dressing, and medication, and you'll find nurses on site along with caregivers who know how to help when someone gets confused or disoriented, especially with memory problems. The dining program serves up kosher and vegetarian meals and aims for nutritious choices, which is nice because not everybody can eat the same things these days.
The community has indoor common areas, space for devotional activities, and a calendar of events that has both on-site and off-site activities, which means there's usually something to do. Some people like the security features, especially when memory care is involved, since it keeps everyone safer. They've made showers wheelchair accessible and there's parking for those who still drive, and you'll find services to handle diabetic care, help for those who can't walk easily, and care for folks with incontinence. Assisted living and nursing staff handle the basics and support folks who need a little more medical help, and there's even rehab if someone needs to recover after a hospital stay or injury.
On the side, Berg's Board & Lodge has quite the selection of flowers for every kind of occasion. You can find patriotic bunches, wedding bouquets, prom corsages, or even a "just because" arrangement, and if it's a hard time, they do funeral and memorial flowers too, including sprays, wreaths, sympathy pieces, and arrangements for the home. Staff makes sure to keep up activity programs and try to offer things that work well for people living with memory loss, and they also keep up the place to make sure residents can enjoy their later years with a bit of comfort and help when needed.
