Adagio Manor Assisted Living sits in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in a quiet neighborhood inside a rambler-style house with five bedrooms and five bathrooms all on one level, which really makes moving around easier for everyone, especially folks using wheelchairs, and every room comes already furnished with bedroom furniture, bedding, and a hi-definition television but you can decorate your own space to feel more like home, which helps with settling in and remembering familiar things. Residents at Adagio Manor can get help with bathing, dressing, grooming, and taking medicine, and the staff stay onsite and awake around the clock, with nurses available when needed, so people don't have to worry if something comes up at night or if health changes happen. The staff can help schedule doctor appointments, order prescriptions, and even provide things like diabetic care, wound care, memory care for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, behavioral care for folks who sometimes act out or tend to wander, and incontinence care, and they also use a medication management system that means medicine is given out as prescribed, including insulin shots and blood sugar checks. The home's emergency alert system goes throughout the building, and they're prepared to assist with all levels of care, from light help up to heavy care including stand-by help, single or two-person transfer assistance using mechanical lifts if needed.
Meals are served three times a day and snacks are always up for grabs, with plenty of attention to special diets like gluten-free, diabetic, vegetarian, or kosher if needed, and there's always an option for a meal whenever someone might want it rather than only at meal times. Folks are welcome to bring pets and join pet-centered activities, and the community features both indoor and outdoor spaces, like walking paths, gardens, green spaces, and shared community rooms for things like movies or crafts in the art room. There's also a piano for music, which some residents enjoy during gatherings or on quieter afternoons.
The staff keeps the place clean with housekeeping, laundry, and even dry cleaning, and provides transportation or parking when needed, especially for doctor's appointments or offsite activities. Adagio Manor's team helps coordinate move-ins to make things smoother for new residents and provide continuity, and for folks who need just a short stay, respite care is available, whether it's just a day, a weekend, or a couple of weeks, with a simple process of paperwork, review forms, and doctors' orders. They allow for aging in place, meaning you don't have to move if your care needs get higher, and they do healthy evaluations when you move in, every 60 days, and then yearly after that. Hospice care is there for those who need it, and they offer a small and peaceful environment-some say it feels more like living in a regular home than a big, busy building-where it's easier to make friends and get to know the caregivers. Residents get to enjoy gardening, trivia, Wii bowling, wine tasting, and movie nights, plus devotional and religious services both in the home and at offsite locations, with activity programs designed to keep life interesting, to make sure mental, physical, and social needs are looked after, and allow residents to keep doing the things they like and keep their own daily routines, with gentle, caring staff who stay engaged in everyone's well-being.
