Menahga Home Health sits on Main Street in Menahga, Minnesota and is part of Woodside Manor, attached to Green Pine Acres Nursing Home, which means people living there can get different kinds of care depending on what they need, like home care, home health, hospice, assisted living, skilled nursing, and support services, and with at least 65 Medicare and Medicaid certified beds and 37 assisted living apartments sized between 600 and 800 square feet or so, some single rooms and some one- or two-bedroom units, there's a lot of choices. People need to be at least 55 to live there, and the whole place is smoke-free and handicapped accessible, which makes getting around easier for anyone who uses a wheelchair or just has trouble walking, and there's help available for bathing, dressing, and medication if needed and also a licensed nurse always on call no matter the time.
They take care of people who need things like diabetic care, incontinence care, non-ambulatory care, and they offer hospice and transitional care too, so folks can stay through different stages of getting older or needing more help, and if someone needs rehab, there's a department for physical, speech, and occupational therapy, plus short-term therapies after surgery such as joint repair or strengthening and speech and swallowing help, and the outpatient therapy means people who don't live there can also come in for their therapy. For those who like to be social, there are common rooms, movie nights, game nights, bingo, church services, ice cream socials, and offsite trips, and even a resident council with staff help so everyone has a voice about how things run.
Meals are included, with special diets or allergies taken into account, and the dining room's always open for folks to meet and eat together, and the staff prepares healthy food using good ingredients. Every room comes furnished and has a phone, and apartments can even hook up a washer and dryer, and there's easy-access kitchens and sit-down showers, so people don't need to worry about safety or reach. The onsite salon and scheduled transportation help take care of grooming needs and rides to appointments. Outdoors, you'll find a nice park right next to the facility that's got over 2,200 feet of paved walkway, three gazebos to sit at, twelve park benches, an underground sprinkler system to keep things green, and a big fountain, which can be good on nice days.
People get 24-hour supervision with emergency alert systems and a call system in every apartment, and the staff are recognized for good activities and care, since the community's won the Best of Senior Living and Best Activities awards. Services like housekeeping, laundry, water, sewer, heat, electric, wireless internet, and cable TV are part of the package, so life gets a bit simpler. There's home care and sitter services if someone just needs a bit of help at home, and they offer help with shopping, errands, and keeping track of medicines too. The place is managed as a non-profit government entity, so the focus stays on resident care and respect, and people say it's a caring, comfortable spot whether someone needs a little help or a lot, and whether someone wants to live in an apartment or needs more support in a nursing setting.
