The Pillars of Lakeville

The Pillars of Lakeville sits at 17701 Glacier Way in Lakeville, Minnesota, and offers a mixture of independent living, assisted living, memory care, home care, respite stays, and the Stay by Day program, which means folks can try a short stay in an apartment if they're not quite ready to make a big move. The community covers over 100 senior apartments, with 1- and 2-bedroom units, and has modern designs, wide hallways, and secure, accessible spaces including private dining, a fitness center with treadmills, a beauty salon, a gym, and a billiards room. Residents can use the rooftop deck, a four-season porch, outdoor dining, a pickleball court, and covered parking, and there are shared green areas with an adjacent church, along with faith-based programs and intergenerational activities thanks to a partnership with Crossroads Church and the 16,700 square foot childcare center that's attached, which brings children and seniors together for events.

There are unique names for programs and rooms, like parlors and memory care neighborhoods, and each floor has common areas including lobbies and community rooms where people can sit, read, or spend time with visitors. The Pillars of Lakeville offers specialized care, with assisted living, memory care in a carefully designed secure neighborhood to help prevent wandering for those with dementia, and independent living for those who want more freedom but still want meals, activities, and help if needed, and there are bilingual services for residents who speak different languages. The staff here stays around the clock, offering support and a quick response, and they're known for being joyful, helpful, and kind, which makes residents and visitors feel welcome.

Nutritious, chef-prepared meals get served in the dining room, and for folks wanting more privacy or having family over there's a private dining space, so there's a bit of flexibility with how meals work, and they always try to use quality ingredients.

Activities and social programs run most days, with faith programs, walks, fitness classes, and events that work the mind and body.
