Good Samaritan Society - International Falls - Northwinds

Good Samaritan Society - International Falls - Northwinds sits at 2101 Keenan Drive in International Falls, Minnesota, and you find a lot happening there all the time, day and night, with both staff and services running 24 hours, while office hours land from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm on weekdays, and there are many kinds of care for seniors including independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, nursing home care, and Medicare Certified Home Care, plus plenty of short-term rehab and outpatient therapy options for those needing a bit more help after surgery or in recovery. The place also offers respite care for folks who need a break from caregiving, and has special programs for people dealing with dementia or Alzheimer's-like diseases so they get their own kind of attention and care, aiming for both safety and comfort with therapies and activities that try to fit the person's needs-body, mind, and spirit all included. If you're looking at living options, there are apartments at River's Edge and Northwinds Assisted Living that catch a lot of natural light and come in different layouts, some with full-size kitchens and some with kitchenettes, and all are smoke-free, leaving space for folks to bring their own things and make the place their own, and even studio rooms if you like to keep things simple. Community areas get plenty of use with a dining room, computer center, fitness room, library, gaming space, garden, outdoor patio, and wellness center, and there's a beauty salon and spa on site if that's your style, as well as gardening rooms for those who like digging in the dirt or just sitting with the sunlight. For daily life, they include utilities, internet, cable, meals, housekeeping, building repairs, central heating, air, transportation, and emergency response-so a lot's taken care of for you. Folks get help with daily activities, medication management, rehab, oncology care, personal care, meal programs, and therapy, all rolled into the different care plans available, with weekly spiritual services and various activities hosted so residents can stay busy and connected. There's focus on keeping everyone as independent as possible, letting them choose how their day goes, with different services designed to help each resident stay comfortable and safe without giving up things they enjoy, and it's all tied in with the International Falls Area Chamber of Commerce. River's Edge Villa serves as a 55+ senior community, and people can find support here not just for long-term needs but also for shorter visits, like when recovering from a hospital stay or while a caregiver takes some time off, and all of it comes with a steady rhythm that makes the place both welcoming and low fuss, trying to be a good spot for folks in every part of their journey.
