Grace Homes - Wilshire Walk sits in Minnetonka Mills, Minnesota, set on quiet acre lots among mature trees, with a spacious rambler-style home that lets residents move freely on one level, with wide doorways and easy wheelchair access, and has a big front yard overlooking a pond. The home welcomes just six residents at a time, which means a close 1:3 caregiver-to-resident ratio, so people get help right away when they need it, and every care plan gets personalized by RN staff for each person's needs, whether it's help with bathing, dressing, surgery recovery, dementia, or chronic health conditions, and there's day and night awake staff to provide assistance and keep everything safe. Private and semi-private rooms come in different layouts-some with cozy cabin style, others with bright open spaces and custom storage-and all have air conditioning, private ADA bathrooms, and furnishings, with space left for residents to decorate themselves.
Residents enjoy three daily meals made from organic ingredients, meals served in a spacious dining room or on an outdoor deck in summer, snacks whenever they want, and easy-to-read menus in communal or private dining areas, plus a communal kitchen and cafe for those who like to join in making or sharing food. The community features a full glass-walled living room, large indoor and outdoor gathering spaces, an open-concept dining area with an aviary, shaded porch, and a deck for outdoor activities or just sitting to watch the pond. Dogs and cats live at Wilshire Walk, with more pets visiting sometimes, so there's company and comfort for animal lovers.
Entertainment and engagement are part of everyday life here, from music, performances, and karaoke with local artists, to a packed, customizable calendar of group and individual activities, exercise sessions, crafts, reading, gardening, and games like cards and bingo in the games room or big activity room. There's a theater room to watch movies together, a spa room, a fitness center, a bright courtyard, and a wellness program to help everyone stay active and feel good. Kids, grandkids, and friends can come visit and join in the fun, with space and places for private conversations or bigger gatherings, and family members can even stay overnight if needed.
