Americare Lodges

Americare Lodges sits on wooded land in Grand Rapids and Remer, Minnesota, with the Grand Rapids campus covering over seven acres and the Remer campus on five, and you'll see the Grand Rapids location at 20371 Wendigo Park Road, where there are four buildings and 28 beds, and the Remer campus offers a 10-bed facility. Americare Lodges provides assisted living services so older adults can keep their independence while getting help with things like bathing, dressing, moving around, and managing medications, while private bedrooms or living spaces, sometimes with kitchenettes, give each resident some privacy. The facility has 24-hour supervision and a call system to keep everyone safe, and staff offers help with daily activities, non-ambulatory care, wheelchair access, and help with health care appointments when needed, so there's support no matter the level of assistance someone may need. The environment at Americare Lodges focuses on community and comfort, and they use a unique approach called "The Americare Way," which tries to create a welcoming place where people can connect, feel supported, and enjoy their days with things like walking paths, gardens, movie nights, arts rooms, and a barber or salon. Residents can enjoy meals all day in the dining room, and food services handle special diets like allergies or diabetes, so people don't have to worry about their health needs, and laundry-including dry cleaning-housekeeping, and move-in help make daily life easier. The Lodges offer transportation and parking for residents, plus a range of activities to keep everyone engaged and connected, and the rooms are furnished, with emergency alert features to help everyone feel secure. There's also an on-site lab, led by Lab Director Mckenzie Loidolt, which has operated for 12 years, showing Americare Lodges' focus on residents' health, and you'll find the lab at the Grand Rapids address, too. The names for different services and spaces are unique to Americare Lodges, and the whole setup, from the wooded setting to the focus on community and individualized care, sets it apart from other options, but you won't find perfection here, just honest efforts to make residents' lives comfortable, safe, and a little easier.
