Mille Lacs Band Of Ojibwe offers assisted living and care services designed for members of the Mille Lacs Band and their families, where there's help for everyday things like bathing, dressing, medication, or just getting from one place to another, and you see that the residents get 24-hour supervision and a call system to keep everyone safe and connected if they need something in the night. There's attention to special needs too, so folks dealing with neurodevelopmental concerns like ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, FASD, or mood disorders, trauma, PTSD, and other mental health issues can get support from trained staff, with case management for children and mental health care for adults through various types of therapy and outreach, and when it comes to permanency, there's reunification help, kinship care, and guardianship when needed, so families get the support that's right for them. There's always care coordination-healthcare providers work together to make sure each person's needs are met, and if a caregiver gets tired or has to leave for a bit, respite care gives the resident continued support during that time.
Meal services offer options for diabetes or food allergies, rooms come furnished and with telephones, and there're laundry and dry cleaning, housekeeping, and emergency alert systems to cover basic living needs, plus a barber and salon on-site. Residents can enjoy walking paths, gardens, an arts room, movie nights, and community-sponsored events, and those who like to stay busy can join in resident-led activities or garden projects, and you'll see spaces and names like Oodena, Migizi Drives, or the District I Vineland Community that hold meaning and serve as key gathering spots. The facility also includes room for Tribal Courts and a new modular building, all structured to fit Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe codes and funded and built with strict attention to tribal, federal, and Davis-Bacon wage standards, where construction happens on tribal land and teams work hard to stick to budgets and deadlines, as in their past projects.
Support and services run deep in this community, so elders and adults get the help and respect they need, with features like a 60-inch-deep frost footing for the building foundation, wheelchair accessibility, and various spaces dedicated to the community, cultural gatherings, and traditions. There's a network of care and gathering centers across Minnesota, and Mille Lacs Band Of Ojibwe pays attention to cultural heritage, sovereignty, public health, and education, offering language preservation and activities for all ages, with everything tailored for the Band's members and honoring their ways.
