Edenbrook Edina

Edenbrook Edina is part of the Edenbrook network and works with Eden Senior Care, and you find it has a pretty spacious building with room for about 85 residents, though daily census averages around 65, and the rooms do need some attention, like paint and fixing up blinds that are broken, so you notice the walls can be scratched and dirty sometimes, but you still see the staff, and the nurses put in hours to help with daily care, though nurse staffing does fall a bit below the state average, and nurse turnover is about the same as others in the state, which does seem pretty common these days. The staff get training to support health and well-being and people do say they feel a warm, friendly welcome, as the place tries to make a family-like atmosphere with focus on skill, compassion, and respect, really paying personal attention to residents no matter which care type they're in, and those include skilled nursing, assisted living, memory care for Alzheimer's or dementia, and even independent living for folks who can do most things on their own but maybe want a simpler, more social environment. There are options for people who need short-term rehab or long-term care, and they do work with NovaCare Rehabilitation for physical therapy, plus they offer speech and occupational therapy, and these plans are set up just for the individual, so one person might have a different plan than the next, depending on needs, and some people come here after a hospital stay for post-acute care, or if they just need a place with a bit more medical support it can fill that role too. There's attention to infection control, though at least one deficiency related to infection was noted in inspections, and sometimes the facility has deficiencies like not fully developing care plans or not always keeping the home feeling as safe and welcoming as it should be, though reports did say there wasn't actual harm, just a potential risk, and the state does regular inspection reports that check on these things like rights, quality of life, and planning. People can expect services such as nutritious meals, cooked with some focus on quality ingredients, and there's always a push to make the food both tasty and healthy, and amenities are there for comfort and convenience, like shared spaces, gallery areas, and organized activities to help with socialization and engagement, with testimonials saying the staff are kind, helpful, and joyful, which residents seem to appreciate. Besides medical needs, there are life enrichment programs, mental health and addiction programs, crisis counseling, and outreach for people with housing or developmental support needs, so it does try to reach folks who need extra help or may be experiencing homelessness. The home offers both inpatient and home care options, so you might have a loved one living at Edenbrook Edina or getting daily help from trained aides while staying at home. The approach is holistic and personalized, geared toward the best possible outcome for each resident, and families hear about progress through consistent communication with staff, who make everyone feel welcome and part of the community, even though the building itself has its wear and tear from years of use. Edenbrook Edina has picked up awards such as Best of Senior Living and Best Activities, reflecting its programs and care, and while it keeps striving for excellence, it remains a straightforward place where people can recover, live with support, or get help with everyday life, working with a range of care types from daily assistance to specialty services, all with a team dedicated to making things feel as home-like as possible even when things aren't perfect.
