Millstream Commons by Three Links sits in downtown Northfield, close to shops and restaurants, which means folks can step out if they want or stay in and enjoy the comforts inside. The community offers both Independent Living and Assisted Living all in the same building, so residents can stay put even if their care needs change, and there are 44 independent units to pick from. Staff are friendly, helpful, and have special training in Memory Care and other health needs. The community runs several care programs, including Assisted Living, Independent Living, Memory Care with four different locations, Skilled Nursing, and even home care with trained aides for support and company. For people with dementia or memory loss, there are secure Memory Care suites such as the Cottage on Forest, and programs and building features help reduce confusion and keep residents from wandering. Those who need end-of-life care can use the Reflections suites.
Apartments here come in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts with full kitchens, roomy bathrooms with tubs or wheelchair accessible showers, and individually controlled heating and air. There's resident parking, a spacious elevator, and outdoor deck and patio areas. Common spaces include a dining room, media and activity rooms, a library, living room with a fireplace, and even a gift shop. The community allows well-behaved pets if they meet breed and size rules, though there's a one-time pet fee. Meals are served daily in the dining room and are planned out by chefs and meal planners, so folks get nutritious food, and laundry, housekeeping, maintenance, garbage, and snow removal are included in rent. Residents can use on-site laundry, cable TV, Wi-Fi, transportation services, and have chapel and faith-based services with pastoral staff.
The staff offers health monitoring, medication help, personal care, and coordinates with outside healthcare providers. Residents get emotional and pain support, plus help with daily activities if needed. The Millstream Commons community runs regular life enrichment programs with classes, exercise, social events, and outings tailored for social, cultural, and educational enjoyment, and there's adult day services running daily for more activity options. Residents can keep up with grooming using the beauty and barber shop, and grounds stay neat and clean with regular care. The community focuses on respect and support, providing choices for Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care, Hospice, Respite Care, and Active Adult Living, including long-term and short-term stays.
There are also accessible features with wheelchair-friendly rooms and plenty of space to move around, while safety is made a priority by having 24/7 staff on site. Folks can apply for VA benefits like Aid and Attendance if they qualify. Residents can age in place and stay near friends as care needs grow, and there's a steady feeling of friendliness and comfort in the way things are run, so people have a chance to keep their independence and find the support they need.
