Luther Haven in Montevideo, MN, is a faith-based senior living community that's been serving residents for over 60 years, and it's got a wide range of care for people with different needs, whether that's skilled nursing care, assisted living at Copper Glen, or even short-term rehab for folks who need some extra help getting back on their feet, with therapy from Big Stone Therapies, Inc. (BST) that covers physical, occupational, and speech help, and there's support for people aiming to go home or move to assisted living when they're ready. People can pick from several room styles, including studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and semi-private options, with both private and shared rooms available, and the nursing home offers typical amenities like beautician services and cable TV, as well as meals aimed at cutting the hassle and cost of cooking.
Staff are around 24 hours for emergencies, and they help with important day-to-day things, whether it's transferring from a bed to a wheelchair, checking insulin for diabetes, or handling incontinence care, with individualized, person-centered care tailored for each person's health, dignity, and needs, and they do their best to keep families involved and informed. Fees come in several types, including a community fee, respite fee, buy-in fee, fees for high, medium, or low care needs, and a second person fee, so costs depend on what someone needs and picks. Luther Haven's attached to a hospital and clinic, making it easier when extra medical care comes up, and there are also home care and independent living choices, plus on-site and offsite activities that include devotional times and social events, most of them happening in comfortable indoor common spaces set up to help people meet and talk.
The community tries to make things supportive and therapeutic, with memory care, skilled nursing, and services for both inpatients and outpatients, and there's help for folks with diabetes or those who need rehab before going home. Meal services aim for quality and nutrition, and Luther Haven is licensed, follows state and federal rules, and has some awards for care received over the years, with guidance and compassionate support from a team that includes staff like Jacob Skahl, Sandy Randt, Lois Wellnitz, and Kim Schacherer. There's always a facility visit schedule posted on the bulletin board, and amenities focus on keeping seniors comfortable and connected.
