Woodlyn Heights Senior Living sits in Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota, at 2060 Upper 55th St E, and you'll find that the place gives older adults a range of living options, including assisted living, independent living, memory care, and skilled nursing, so residents can get the help they need as things change over time, and they have a licensed team that meets Minnesota safety and health standards, including regular safety inspections, that keeps staff around the clock to help with urgent needs any time, day or night. The community provides care like respite stays for when family members need a break, hospice care which they coordinate for those at the end of life, regular companion care for daily help, and extra attention for memory care residents using tailored plans and activities set up from 8 am to 8 pm so nobody gets left out or feels alone, and they focus on privacy and independence by offering private rooms and bathrooms with no extra charge, along with recent renovations to their Transitional Care Unit. Nurses and therapists cover every shift and work with people on things like physical, occupational, and speech therapy, using modern equipment, helping with recovery from falls, arthritis, strokes, or surgeries, and Blue Stone Therapy provides extra outpatient therapy if needed.
Woodlyn Heights holds 99 beds, is Medicare and Medicaid certified, and supports long-term, short-term, and transitional stays in a home-like setting, where staff members assist with bathing, grooming, and walking or wheelchair help, and residents can use health and wellness classes, housekeeping, laundry, and property upkeep as part of daily comfort. They organize regular social, educational, and spiritual programming, arts and crafts, music therapy, and even have a fitness center, beauty salon, and barbershop, so people can stay active and engaged, and there's wifi, cable, and parking for guests. Memory care residents get a warm space focused on safety with supported activities, personalized plans, and what they call Memory Stations, all designed so people feel safe while still having meaningful days as dementia progresses. They've put in features like sprinkler systems, safety railings, handicapped-accessible rooms, and a staff-to-resident ratio that meets state standards.
The Inspire Wellness initiative helps staff guide care along seven dimensions of well-being, all while families and residents have a say in how care plans look and work, and spiritual services give comfort if people want them. They offer personal care assistants for daily needs, help with eating, transportation to appointments, and even provide assistance paying with Medicaid. Meals happen in a proper dining room where people can gather and talk, and the kitchens and kitchenettes in the living areas let those who are able to keep some independence with cooking. People benefit from individualized, patient-centered care, whether in recovery after a hospital stay, seeking help with daily needs, or wanting a respectful, safe place as the years pass.
