The Waters Senior Living, located in Minnetonka, MN, has a simple mission to help residents, families, and staff feel at home and they try to create a place where people are comfortable and cared for as individuals, offering Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care services, along with options for Respite, Rehabilitation, Home Care, and even Hospice care so seniors can age in place and get the help they need as things change, and you'll find a continuum of care right within the community rather than needing to move somewhere else. The Waters uses programs like The Waters Way and Thrive Wellness™ to guide day-to-day living, focusing on wellbeing for the mind, body, and spirit, and their PETALS Memory Care program supports residents with memory loss, providing secure spaces and events meant for those with Alzheimer's and dementia, with 24/7 support from their care teams and licensed nurses.
Residents can stay in their own apartments while getting care and services like help with bathing, dressing, walking, medication, and daily activities, with healthcare coordination, wound care, occupational therapy, podiatry, and mental wellness programs available if needed, and there's always someone on hand with on-site staff and emergency alert systems for safety. Apartments and community spaces come furnished for comfort, with kitchens or kitchenettes, cable TV, WiFi, telephones, and call systems, and housekeeping, maintenance, laundry, and dry-cleaning services make things feel easier, while dining rooms offer meals made fresh every day, with options for special dietary restrictions, including diabetes and allergy-sensitive diets, alongside an all-day dining service.
You'll see a mix of hotel-style hospitality and homey warmth in the design of The Waters, with relaxing deck seating, gardens, walking paths, fitness rooms, arts and crafts rooms, a salon and barbershop, and both resident-run and community-sponsored activities, plus guest parking and transportation services to help residents stay engaged and connected to the outside community. The Waters has a focus on purposeful interactions with their "THRIVING Connections," encouraging creative and educational workshops, group events, social gatherings, and celebrations, and residents are encouraged to join in on arts, physical activities, and learning opportunities to build friendships and find meaning. They support families too with respite care, allowing for temporary stays and extra help for primary caregivers.
Move-in coordination is available to make transitions as smooth as possible, and the staff puts a lot of effort into making sure every resident feels seen, heard, and valued, always keeping the approach personal and genuine. Amenities include safety and handicap features, a sprinkler system, washers and dryers, a dining room, a game room, and fitness areas, and the grounds are designed to offer both social opportunities and personal peace. The Waters Senior Living also complies with state licensing and safety standards, keeps the right staff-to-resident ratios, and has a convenient location near Park Nicollet Methodist Hospital, pharmacies, and clinics, so medical help is nearby when needed. The Waters has more than one location, with communities across Minnesota and Wisconsin, each built around the belief that everyone should be able to blossom and thrive in a safe, friendly, and comfortable setting.
