Benedictine Living Community-Osseo stands at 625 Central Avenue in downtown Osseo, Minnesota, and has 59 residential units within a building that used to be St. Vincent's Church, so you'll still see church pews and some pretty stained glass in the décor, which adds a little history and warmth you might find familiar or comforting, especially if you like a building with a bit of story behind it; folks say the place feels warm and welcoming, and there's a community spirit that comes from its roots in the Benedictine Health System, a large, Catholic, nonprofit network known for its values of hospitality, stewardship, respect, and justice, but it's open to people of all faiths, so everyone's treated with kindness. You'll find Catered Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care here, so if you want a place with different care levels all in one spot, you won't have to stress too much about moving again if your care needs change, and that includes suites with private bathrooms, kitchens or kitchenettes, big windows for sunlight, individual climate controls, and weekly housekeeping, so the place stays clean and comfortable-a lot of people like that you pick the care level that fits you, from getting just a little help to having more specialized attention if you ever need it, especially for memory care.
Residents and their families have said the staff are friendly and make the place feel a bit like a family, with nurses on site, a doctor on call, and even specialists like podiatrists and therapists who come in, so health needs get met without leaving the building, and if you ever need a ride to an appointment, there's transportation arranged, which comes in handy; meals are served three times a day in the dining room, and the cooks plan the meals to be both healthy and tasty, which matters when you're looking forward to your next bite. Activities are a regular thing, including games, entertainment, off-site trips, devotional services, and social gatherings-there's always something happening for those who want to stay active or just spend time with neighbors, and there are both indoor and outdoor common areas so folks can visit or just enjoy a quiet moment.
The community lets you bring pets like dogs, cats, birds, or fish if they're approved, and accepts service animals, which is good if you want company; there's also a game room, beauty and barber services on site, wheelchair accessible showers, Wi-Fi, and resident parking, and if you need help with daily tasks-maybe with bathing, dressing, or taking medicine-the staff steps in to offer support that fits what you or your family needs. There's hospice and respite care, along with home care, dental, and rehabilitation services, which takes the worry out of finding more care if your health changes; the place is safe, with 24-hour monitoring, and follows regular licensing checks to keep standards up.
Benedictine Living Community-Osseo costs about $4,100 a month and aims to give people a clean, cozy place to live that still feels like home, with a faith-based but inclusive atmosphere and focus on comfort, respect, and helping residents stay as independent as possible for as long as they want; reviews show an average rating of 3.0 from a small group of people, which says it may have ups and downs, like anywhere, but overall, folks say it's a place where people look out for each other, and staff try to make sure everyone's treated with dignity, whether you're there for independent living, assisted living, or memory care.
