Augustana Emerald Crest III

Augustana Emerald Crest III offers both assisted living and memory care for seniors who want a good mix of their own independence and support with daily needs like bathing, dressing, and eating, and the staff is trained to help folks living with Alzheimer's and other types of dementia, so there's always a caring hand when needed, and each resident gets a personal care plan made for them. The community has choices of studios, with both private and shared rooms, and you'll find emergency alert systems and 24-hour supervision for safety, and the building is wheelchair accessible, which just makes it easier for everyone to move around. Residents can join group activities like music, crafts, exercise, movie nights, and devotional services, and there's a community arts room, a dining room for daily meals, and outside, you'll find gardens, walking paths, and patios for fresh air or just sitting and chatting. Meals are made and served each day, knocking out three balanced meals and snacks, with special diets or diabetic care when needed, and the cleaning team handles housekeeping, linens, and laundry. There's transportation help for doctor visits, trips to the airport, or just getting around, and folks can get their hair cut at the on-site barber and salon, plus there's bus service and organized outings to keep the days interesting. When it comes to care, medication management, chronic condition support, incontinence care, and therapy services are all provided right on site, and there's a doctor on call along with home healthcare available too. Special support groups like the Meal Meeting Support Group led by Chaplain Arlen Solem are offered, so families and residents have someone to talk to. Augustana Emerald Crest III is part of the Emerald Crest memory care communities around Burnsville, Minnetonka, Shakopee, and Victoria, and it is managed by Augustana Care, with staff known for being helpful, friendly, and providing lots of activities that keep folks social and active. The staff works to make the place comfortable, respects individual choices, and tries to help everyone stay as independent as possible while making sure all care and needs are met day and night.
