Tuff Memorial Home

Tuff Memorial Home sits at 505 E 4th St in Hills, MN, and has a long history of serving seniors who need different types of care, offering 52 skilled nursing beds certified for Medicare and Medicaid, and it also has 25 assisted living apartments for those who may need a little help and 9 retirement apartments made for independent living, all set up in one campus where you don't have to worry about moving far if your needs change with time. Ms. Martha Swenson, the administrator, oversees the day-to-day care, and the home runs under church-related license number 576, with the license holder living right on-site, which makes things feel a bit more personal and steady. The home supports people who are very frail and need skilled nursing or intermediate care, plus it helps folks who need short-term rehab after leaving the hospital, letting them get stronger before heading home. Meals come with the stay, and the kitchen has a food storage room, a walk-in cooler and freezer, and a dietary office after recent updates, making sure food needs are handled with care. The place has non-ambulatory, diabetic, and incontinence care, with healthcare staff and therapy services always there, trying to meet residents' physical and mental needs as best they can. Apartments are wheelchair accessible and now have walk-in showers after being remodeled, which helps with safety and comfort. There's in-house beautician services, so residents can keep up with their grooming without having to go out, and activities along with enriching programs for residents are available. The home has a chapel used for weekly Sunday services, films, activities, and meetings, giving residents a bit of spiritual and social life if they want it. Tuff Memorial Home doesn't offer hospice beds or psychiatric beds, keeps things maintenance-free for residents, helps provide dignity, and tries to create a warm, caring community that makes seniors feel safer and supported, a place where some residents have said they prefer to come back to after being away. Certified and licensed by Rock County, with a staff that's known to chat and keep up with families, the home is focused on making sure residents feel respected, well-fed, well-cared for, and part of a supportive Christian environment.
