Halstad Living Center sits at 133 4th Ave E in Halstad, Minnesota, and offers different types of care for seniors, including assisted living, skilled nursing, and independent living in both regular apartments and semi-independent spaces, and there's Heritage House nearby with single-level apartments if folks want a bit more privacy but like knowing help's available if they need it, and the staff, which includes Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, a Director of Nursing, and a full team of aides, work around the clock to help with medication, bathing, dressing, and transfers. The center brings activities every week, with an Activities Director and Assistant planning events, movie nights, and arts programs, and the community's got walking paths, gardens for growing things, a community arts room, and a dining room where everyone can enjoy all-day meals, with cooks and dietary aides making sure any allergies or special diets are taken care of.
There's a Licensed Social Worker helping with social support, and care coordination happens with positions like the MDS Coordinator, plus a designated Infection Control Nurse keeps track of safety and hygiene; a Maintenance Technician keeps up the grounds and buildings, while the rest of the support team, like laundry staff and housekeepers, handle daily chores and make sure rooms-private ones, in their case-stay clean. They've built in help for folks who have more complex care needs, like intravenous therapy, wound care, feeding tubes, respiratory care, and therapy services through Big Stone Therapies, who work on speech, physical, and occupational therapy, and Halstad Living Center works with Sanford Health for extra medical services, which include visiting dental, vision, and psychiatric providers, even pain management.
Residents can catch the facility's bus for rides to doctor's appointments, shopping, social events, and appointments, and every room comes set up with a telephone, an emergency alert system, and the whole building's wheelchair accessible, so everyone gets around safely, not to forget there's a barber and salon on site, and housekeeping and laundry-even dry cleaning-come with the stay. There's a canine companion who's become part of the place, helping folks feel more at home, and the focus stays on giving choices, preserving independence, and supporting everyone's quality of life, all under the guidance of a Licensed Nursing Home Administrator and a Board of Directors from the local community.
Halstad Living Center is a non-profit operated by Lutheran Homes, and it accepts both Medicaid and Medicare, welcoming seniors from all over the neighborhood who need support with daily living, health care, or after a hospital stay, and it's been recognized as a 5-star facility by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services for over a decade, holding a strong record for quality. The community works to stay friendly and home-like, never too fancy but focused on helping folks connect with neighbors, find good food, stay safe, and get help when they need it, and the staff-about 70 people for the 44 private rooms-try to make sure everyone feels cared for, no matter what their situation is.
