Woodstone Senior Living sits in Hutchinson, MN, at 1025 Dale St SW, and offers a straightforward, smaller setting with only 41 licensed beds, so things feel personal and people tend to know each other's names. The place takes care of older folks needing different types of help, like Active Living, Assisted Living, Care Suites, and Memory Care, including for those living with Alzheimer's or other kinds of dementia. Families looking for somewhere that can handle complicated health needs like diabetes, incontinence, and folks who use wheelchairs might be glad to know Woodstone has staff to look after these issues, along with skilled nursing services, on a long-term care license from the state. Everybody has a private apartment-with their own bathroom-and there are options for studios and suites depending on what someone prefers.
Meals are home-cooked by a Food Services Director and their team, who work to make food that's both nutritious and suits what the residents like, even for special diets, and people often praise the meals and the friendly dining room. There's an in-apartment laundry for convenience and all the utilities are rolled in, which can mean one less thing to worry about. For things to do, there's a full-time activity director planning lots of events, from bus tours to group biking, golf, and even kayaking, not to mention time spent at the pub or game area, the Health and Wellness Center, or catching a movie in the in-house theater. Woodstone also has devotional services and goes off-site for religious activities. There's a beauty salon and an enclosed courtyard, so people have a safe outdoor space and a place to get a haircut or just feel a bit pampered. The community tends to attract people who are kind and helpful to each other, which may be why it's been noticed for awards like Best Meals and Dining, Best Activities, and Most Friendly in Senior Living.
The staff aim to learn what each person needs and make an individual care plan together with families, whether that's memory care, extra nursing, or daily support with dressing and things like that. The building's set up to help people find comfort and feel at home, with spots for socializing or fitness and a smaller, family-style feel. Woodstone Senior Living also has locations in Rice Lake, WI, and New Ulm, MN.
