The Terraces Memory Care at Abiitan sits in downtown Minneapolis at 428 S 2nd St #200, right in the Abiitan Mill City community, and provides assisted living focused on seniors who have memory challenges like dementia or Alzheimer's. The staff know a lot about caring for people dealing with cognitive decline and offer programs and routines that make daily life comfortable and safe. They run the Ecumen Awakenings program, which is all about using the five senses to help residents enjoy their day, feel connected, and stay independent as much as possible, and that means activities like music, art classes, and social get-togethers, as well as things like cooking classes and day trips to local parks. Apartments are roomy and maintenance-free, with different one- and two-bedroom floor plans, wheelchair accessibility, air conditioning, kitchenettes, and showers that are easy to use if someone isn't steady on their feet.
The whole place is designed to keep folks safe, with features like high-visibility staff, secure doors, emergency call technology, and spaces set up for memory care, so families don't have to worry about their loved ones wandering off. The community allows pets like cats and dogs, has landscaped grounds, a club room, and an on-site fitness center you can use any time. Food is prepared by a professional chef, with dining options that cover a lot of needs: international meals, gluten-free, kosher, vegan, vegetarian, organic, no sugar, and no salt, and there's both restaurant-style dining and room service for when residents want to eat in their own room.
There's help available with personal care, medication management, diabetic support, incontinence care, and support for those who aren't able to move around well, and the staff adapts care plans to each person's needs, whether it's regular support or something more advanced with Enhanced Assisted Living services. Respite care is also offered if families need someone to take over for a while. Residents get housekeeping, transportation to appointments, and Wi-Fi throughout the building, and there are plenty of things to do every week, from happy hour and karaoke to educational speakers and art activities. The emphasis at The Terraces Memory Care is on kindness, patience, and making sure each person has choices in their care, while living in a secure and welcoming home.
