Peaceful Living III sits at 1687 Fallbrooke Drive in Hastings, Minnesota 55033, and has a small, home-like setting with space for up to 7 residents, which means people get more attention and there's a tight-knit feel, and those who live here often talk about how peaceful it stays even when things are busy. Residents don't have to worry much about chores because the staff handle housekeeping, laundry, linen service, and meal prep, providing nutritious meals at flexible times and tailoring food for those with diabetes, allergies, or special diets, with snacks always available during the day and a staff dietitian keeping an eye on things. People can choose from studio, one-bedroom, or semi-private rooms, each already furnished, and each room's got a telephone and emergency alert call buttons-safety matters here, with a 24-hour security system, on-site nurse for emergencies, and all staff trained for residents with dementia or mobility problems.
This facility does a lot for wellness and daily health, offering fitness classes, walking trails, a therapy room, regular preventative health screenings, and scheduled health checkups from an on-call nurse and an RN, plus Parkinson's care, surgery recovery care, medication management, and help with bathing, getting dressed, eating, and moving around, even for folks with advanced needs or who use wheelchairs. Memory care staff are always on hand, and there's a strong focus on creating a supportive, family-like atmosphere where every resident's strengths are respected, which the founder-who holds a Master's in Social Work-helped set up with a team approach that makes care very personal.
There's plenty of community spaces, too, like a dining room, games and activities room, reading/TV section, arts and crafts room, computer center with internet, and even an exercise and fitness space, so residents can garden, do arts and crafts, join chapel services, take part in movie nights, or just enjoy walking outside on the paths or sitting on the patios. The community's pet-friendly, so small animals are welcome, and family members can visit flexibly, attend support meetings, or join celebrations for holidays and birthdays, all with the idea that everyone should be included.
Community amenities add more comfort, with transportation to medical visits and shopping, parking for families, on-site salon and barbershop, daily activities organized by staff, and all appointments and move-ins are handled to make things smooth and easy. There are also concierge services, Wi-Fi, cable and utilities already included, and the staff are ready to help with family counseling or arranging extra support for both short-term respite and long-term stays. Peaceful Living III operates with Minnesota license #31220, and it accepts private pay as well as some public programs, but does not take Medicare unless it's certified. This is a place that takes care of both body and mind, working to make sure each person feels safe, known, and comfortable in a senior-friendly place.
