Edgewood Hermantown in Hermantown, Minnesota, provides a range of senior living options including independent living, assisted living, memory care, short-term stays, and adult day services, and with 257 units and 293 beds, it's one of the larger communities around, and since it's staffed 24 hours a day, seniors can get meals, nursing assistance, and help with daily living like bathing, dressing, and moving from bed to wheelchair whenever they need it, and you'll find a beauty salon, fitness center, chapel, and movie theater room in the building along with indoor common areas and plenty of activities like music, bingo, poetry, arts and crafts, boat rides, field trips, happy hours, and church services available so residents don't feel left out or alone, while outdoor walking paths and landscaped grounds give everyone a chance to enjoy fresh air. The community serves adults 55 and older and supports different needs, with some living independently and others needing memory care for Alzheimer's or dementia, where they have programs focused on safety and reducing confusion, and caregivers on site make sure there's supervision, standby help with transfers, blood sugar monitoring, and help with personal hygiene, though residents needing incontinent care need to manage their own supplies.
Meals are provided three times a day, laundry and housekeeping services help lighten the load, and transportation's available for errands or appointments, and if residents need therapy, CaringEdge Home Health and Hospice is on site for medical support. Residents can choose from private, semi-private, studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom rooms, and both cats and dogs are welcome, and those who only want daytime care can use the adult day program. Staff are ready to assist with diabetic care, medication management, and doctor checkups for weight, pulse, or blood pressure, but they can't give insulin injections. The senior living community is nonprofit and focuses on comfort and safety, keeping hallways handicap accessible and Wi-Fi available throughout, and since 2000, they've supported local elders and families with different care types, all under one roof, as part of the larger Edgewood Vista Senior Living network, and residents, whether here for a short stay or long term, get help making care decisions with a care comparison tool, care assessments, and even a catalog of adaptive products like clothing, tech, and safety alerts.
