Oak Ridge Assisted Living of Hastings sits at 1128 Bahls Drive, right in Hastings, Minnesota, and has served seniors since 2002, offering both assisted living and memory care in a quiet community close to parks, churches, stores, and a hospital, so families often feel it's an easy place to get to or for residents to enjoy a bit of the neighborhood now and then. Residents can pick from three apartment styles, including studios and one-bedroom suites, all with comforts like air conditioning, carpeting, refrigerators, and electric range ovens, and for folks who care about being online, high-speed internet is available too. Most utilities come included-things like heat, electric, trash, and water are handled by the building, though cable, phone, and internet are optional and up to residents if they want them.
The staff at Oak Ridge Assisted Living, managed by Vision Quest Property Management, includes trained caregivers and licensed nurses on-site during the week and always available by phone, so people get support with daily needs like medication, dressing, bathing, or just moving around if it gets to be a lot. There's a Resident Assistant on-site around the clock, and the building has features like elevators, controlled entry, fire-safe rooms, and easy access for people with walkers or wheelchairs, so getting around is less worry. A secure area called the "Garden View Neighborhood" is set up especially for residents who deal with Alzheimer's or other memory problems-this section is locked for extra safety and has programs and routines made just to help with memory loss or confusion, and therapy from Interim HealthCare is available if it's needed.
Life here has simple comforts, with meals made on-site using good ingredients, and a daily activity calendar so residents can socialize, do some light movement, or just get involved if they want company-things like games in the community room, meals in the dining room, or sitting by the fireplace if it's cold. Folks can use on-site services like a beauty salon or barber, and transportation is scheduled for appointments and outings. Every month, a pharmacist checks medications, a podiatrist visits, nurses manage health needs, and lab staff can come by for routine tests.
Families and potential residents can ask for a tour in person or look at rooms and common areas through a virtual 3D tour on the website. The place keeps things personal by tailoring care to what each person needs and updating it as folks' needs change, always aiming to let everyone keep some independence with a sense of safety and familiarity, and many people mention feeling respected and comfortable here, based on stories from family members. The security deposit is $500 and renting an apartment here covers the main basics, while other things like internet and cable are up to each resident so there aren't surprises. Oak Ridge Assisted Living tries to be a place where older adults can feel at home, get help when they need it, and stay active in ways that make sense as they age.
