LifeCare Greenbush Manor in Greenbush, MN, sits next to the Greenbush Community Clinic and is connected to LifeCare Medical Center and Altru Health System, so people staying here have direct links to medical help, therapy, and the whole local healthcare network, and the one thing you notice walking in is the calm and steady presence of staff, with Ms. Emily Straw as administrator. The place has room for 40 people in nursing home beds and 20 of those beds are set for skilled nursing care, which means trained nurses are available day and night, and they handle everything from basic needs like bathing, dressing, eating, and moving around, to more complex things like medication management and 24-hour care for people recovering or needing long-term help. They also help folks with Alzheimer's and offer both hospice and palliative care for comfort and support when it's needed most.
You'll find a team giving physical, occupational, and speech therapy right on site without having to leave the building, working closely with doctors and a medical director, and each resident gets an individualized care plan, so people get treated based on their own needs. Those needing short-term rehab or respite can stay for a bit while recovering. The staff includes people specially trained for memory issues, and spiritual opportunities are always part of the plan, plus you'll find help with social services and connections to community resources.
There's a steady focus on a person's independence and dignity, with activities, outings, and exercise programs to keep both mind and spirit active. Meals and snacks get made by a registered dietician, and laundry and housekeeping are handled, which is a weight off anyone's shoulders. Residents can get a new haircut in the beauty and barber shop, go out with transportation services, join group life enrichment events or just relax in their apartment-style rooms. The place also has assisted living services and memory care, and the 24/7 fitness center gives those who want to keep moving a place to do so. LifeCare Greenbush Manor runs as a non-profit, is certified for Medicare and Medicaid, and has a license from Roseau County, so you know they follow the right standards under the watch of the state. Each piece-from friendly staff to therapy and social programs-adds up to a place that tries to make each day a little better for the people living there, whether someone's with them for a short stay or planning to call it home for a longer while.
