Arbor Lakes Senior Living sits in Osseo, MN and supports seniors at many different care levels, from those who want to stay independent to those who need more help, including a special memory care program called Willows Memory Care for folks with Alzheimer's or dementia. The community's staff and management, including a Residence Director and Director of Nursing, put focus on health, happiness, and being supportive, trying to make everyone feel comfortable through daily wellness checks, an on-site health clinic, and 24-hour emergency call systems. Residents can choose from independent living apartments-like one-bedroom, one-bedroom with den, and two-bedroom units-or assisted living options that include studios and larger apartments, all with their own washers and dryers, kitchens with refrigerators, stoves, dishwashers, and microwaves, and individually controlled heat and air conditioning, so everyone can stay comfortable in their own space. The memory care wing offers studios and larger units, too, including a "Late" category for those at the highest level of need.
The building's set up includes fire and smoke detectors, sprinklers, elevator access, wheelchair-accessible spaces, and controlled entrances, with a smoke-free policy throughout. There's underground garage parking for an extra monthly fee, and the place is pet-friendly but only for small dogs or cats under 20 pounds. The community's common spaces include a beauty salon, community room, guest suite, spa, library, movie theater, and a fitness center, where residents can come together for activities, movie nights, or fitness classes. Dining is handled by an in-house chef and a dining team who cook up daily lunches and dinners, with a daily continental breakfast and afternoon coffee and cookies, and while independent living residents get one meal per day in the rent, folks in assisted living and memory care have all their meals included, all made to be nutritious and tasty.
Arbor Lakes likes to keep residents active with a big calendar of activities, from on-site performances and holiday parties to field trips, exercise classes, arts and crafts, and group outings. For those who need some extra help, there are a la carte services and home care packages, including help with bathing, medication, laundry, and housekeeping, and the nursing team checks in daily and helps set up individual care plans. Scheduled van transportation helps residents get to shopping and outings, and there's weekly housekeeping, linen services, building and apartment maintenance, and all utilities like water, heat, air conditioning, and trash pick-up covered in the rent, with easy month-to-month leases. Management brings experience with senior care and aims to keep the atmosphere welcoming and kind, making it easier for residents, staff, and families to build relationships and support each other in everyday life. With a rating of 4.8 out of 8 reviews, residents and their families seem to appreciate the care and amenities provided.
