Minnehaha Senior Living offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care, so folks can pick what suits their needs best, and the apartments come in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts, all with their own temperature settings, and the rent covers WiFi, basic TV, and utilities, except for the telephone, and most units have nice touches like granite counters, full kitchens, walk-in showers, and those corner windows a lot of people like for the light. The community includes places like Isles, Cedar (A-G), and Nokomis (A and C), so there's a range of living spaces to fit different lifestyles, and the suites come furnished for comfort, while everything's built with accessibility in mind, like wheelchair-accessible showers. There are a bunch of common rooms too, like a café, library, lodge, a sun porch, courtyard, chapel, salon, whirlpool bath, and a fitness room, so residents can do things or just relax, and the community calendar stays lively with social, educational, and spiritual events, including group activities that aim to help people make friends and keep active.
Healthcare is a big focus here, with onsite doctors and specialists seeing residents regularly, so it's less hassle than traveling for appointments, and the medication management works with TotalCare Pharmacy to help keep prescriptions safe and up to date. For those who need support with memory or cognitive problems, the staff and management have certifications from the Alzheimer's Association and keep training in dementia care, and their Enriching Connections Dementia Certification program helps residents with things like independence and feeling connected. Care plans are always developed with help from the nurses, aiming for a balance between helping folks out and letting them make their own choices as much as possible, and these care plans cover everything from diabetic support to help for people who don't get around so easily, with staff on duty 24-hours and extra services like laundry, housekeeping, and outdoor maintenance thrown in so people don't have to worry about chores.
Services include nutritious meals, management of medications, diabetic and incontinence care, access to health and wellness programs, respite or short-term stays, transportation, and safe entry through controlled access, and there's always staff around to help out or just chat if someone needs company. Their special programs, like Inspire Wellness for Life, encourage residents to keep active across all parts of life, including physical, emotional, social, and spiritual wellness, and there's a focus on making the place dementia-friendly with regular updates to environments and routines. Dining is something people seem to appreciate, with many saying the meals taste good and use fresh ingredients, and housekeeping and laundry services can be added based on what someone wants or needs. Programs and activity schedules get tweaked from resident feedback, so it stays relevant and enjoyable, and folks can feel they have a say in what goes on. Special services available through Providence Place include transitional care, long-term skilled nursing, and advanced memory care, so there's help for even those who need more support.
So, between the experienced, certified staff, the focus on personalized care, and the aim to make things as comfortable and straightforward as possible, Minnehaha Senior Living tries to offer a place that respects independence and dignity, whether a person's there for independent living, needs more assistance, or requires specialized memory care.
