Restart II is an assisted living community that supports older adults and people needing help with recovery, including mental health and addiction services, and, in some cases, those with brain injury or disabilities, and what you get here is a smaller, 7-resident capacity setup where folks have fully furnished apartments, a dining room where residents can come together for meals, and outdoor spaces and gardens if someone wants a bit of fresh air or peace, and besides, they offer things like housekeeping and have Wi-Fi and internet throughout for those who want to stay connected, and they're always ready to help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, or moving around, offering medication management too, and special meal plans for different dietary needs, including diabetes or other restrictions, and they've got transportation for medical visits or outings, with staff that coordinates with healthcare providers as needed.
They've got a set routine, with scheduled daily activities and ways for residents to socialize and keep their minds active, and the care plans get shaped for each person depending on their needs, and this includes things like memory care, skilled nursing, and independent living, as well as outpatient and residential care for people in recovery, and there's detox and therapy services too, both in one-on-one and group settings, tapping into a 12-step program when that's helpful, all in a private and secure setting where the focus stays on recovery and rehabilitation as needed, and the facilities have a dining area, gardens, easy access to the internet, and caregivers that can help with anything from falls management to special diets.
Restart II has services just for seniors, like help with daily life, nursing, memory care, rehabilitation, and hospice support when that's needed, while also focusing on mental health recovery and addiction, and, for those looking to be active and social, they offer arts and crafts, chapel services, a theater room, and special menus. They've built a system where each resident gets a service plan that fits their day-to-day life, whether it's more independent living or needing round-the-clock nursing care, and their housing covers studio, shared, and one-bedroom options, some pet-friendly. The site is secured at all hours, meals are simplified with easy-to-read menus, and transportation help is on hand.
The wider Restart group runs several locations in the Minneapolis area, like Southside Care Center, which holds 17 people, and Three Thirty Five Ridgewood, which is smaller with 6 units, and they operate under unique license numbers for each site, which points to good oversight, and each place offers different combinations of retirement and assisted living, memory and skilled nursing care, and even active senior apartments, along with board and care homes that provide daily living for smaller groups in local neighborhoods. Restart II sits within this network but stands apart because of its small size, recovery programs, specialized care options, and ongoing support for those who need more than basic senior living, whether for short-term respite or longer-term needs, and every resident can find privacy, stability, and the type of care that supports their own path-whether that means assisted living, recovery, or help with staying engaged in the community.
