Osseo Gardens Assisted Living sits in a quiet residential area at 525 2nd Street SE in Osseo, Minnesota, and offers a supportive and homelike place for older adults. Residents can choose between spacious studio and one-bedroom apartments that come furnished, with handy features like telephones, air conditioning, and cable TV, plus meal plans for those who want them, and there are homelike touches like carpeting and a cozy brick fireplace in the communal lounge where folks gather to watch movies or visit. Staff maintains the manicured grounds and flower beds, but residents who want to help in the gardens can join in, and people enjoy sitting out on the patio to watch the seasons change. There's a dining room where meals are served-menu plans can include special diets for diabetes or allergies, and residents can even suggest their own recipes. For daily life, help is always close by, with emergency call pendants, a 24-hour call system, and a dedicated team of registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and resident assistants giving round-the-clock care including medication management, help with bathing, dressing, and getting around.
The community schedules regular activities so everyone can socialize, try new crafts, join exercise classes, or ride together on communal bus tours for outings, and there are always games or movie nights to enjoy. Some activities are run by residents themselves, and there's an activity room, a community room, and an arts room for painting or crafts. Amenities include laundry, cable TV, high-speed internet (for an extra fee), housekeeping, and an emergency alert system, plus language assistance for anyone who needs it. Osseo Gardens Assisted Living makes sure people can get to doctor appointments and group outings with their transportation services, and there's a beauty salon/barber shop on-site too. People with different needs can find what fits, since services range from assisted living and independent living to memory care, nursing home options, and continuing care. There's a strong focus on coordinating healthcare with outside providers and keeping everyone safe, with strict COVID-19 prevention steps in place. Staff take care of utilities like heat, electricity, water, and trash service so that's one less worry for residents. Some units are handicap accessible, and the whole campus is designed to help folks live as comfortably and independently as they can.
People can schedule a tour to get to know the place and the staff offer move-in coordination to make the transition easier. Seniors who qualify for CADI and Elderly Waiver Programs can also apply. With inviting communal spaces for reading, games, and family gatherings, a TV and movie room, outdoor walking paths, a garden, and special touches like communal fish tanks, Osseo Gardens Assisted Living gives seniors a comfortable and active environment where support and community come first.
