Mount Olivet Careview Home sits at 5517 Lyndale Ave. S. in Minneapolis and is a non-profit, church-related senior community that's been around a long time and does a good job of tailoring care to what residents need, which is important as people age and their needs change. You'll find a skilled nursing facility here with more than 100 staff members on hand, and they work with each resident on a personalized care plan that keeps their health, social, and spiritual needs in mind, so everyone gets treated with respect and the staff try their best to help people keep their dignity, which is as it should be. Folks who move here can pick from a range of living options, including independent living, semi-independent rooms with some privacy, studio rooms, and memory care units, so there's some variety in what's available.
The community puts a strong focus on long-term residential care, but they also offer short-term help in their transitional care unit with daily therapy and skilled nursing for folks who need a little extra support after a hospital stay. Their memory care programs have trained staff, specialized therapies, and activities designed for people dealing with memory loss, Alzheimer's, or other forms of dementia, and those efforts get good attention. There's a range of on-site health services, including vision, hearing, dental, and podiatry. People can also get physical, occupational, speech, and language therapy right in the building, plus help with dressing, bathing, and medication.
Amenities are practical and focused on comfort, like lounges, patios, a chapel for spiritual care, beauty and gift shops, and even a calendar full of therapeutic recreation activities to keep people engaged. The place runs a caregiver support group and offers counseling for families and residents, which helps ease some of the stress all these transitions bring. Housekeeping and laundry services are included, so residents and families can worry a little less about the chores and focus more on each other. Mount Olivet Careview Home gets a 5-star nursing home rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, which means the skilled nursing side of things scores well. The community rating sits at 6.6 out of 10, which gives a sense of overall satisfaction. While it's called Mount Olivet Careview Home, it offers Board and Care, Skilled Nursing, Transitional Care, Memory Care, Day Services, and Hospice, making it a place with a fair amount of choice for someone figuring out where to settle in as the years go by.
