Ostrander Assisted Living

Ostrander Assisted Living sits in a rural part of Fillmore County, Minnesota, and for over 20 years, the same family's run things with a focus on care and support, and folks here get choices between semi-private living quarters, small studios, or larger one-bedroom suites, and residents can bring their own touches to their rooms, and you'll find kitchenettes, telephones, and Wi-Fi in each place, and the staff are around day and night, offering help with the basics like bathing, dressing, getting around, and taking medicine, and there's a 24-hour call system so someone's always nearby if needed. The place has house-keeping and linen services, community and private dining options, an arts and crafts studio, gardens, walking paths, and common areas for gatherings, and some of the meals follow special diets, like for diabetes or allergies, and snacks are daily, with a chef helping prepare the food. Ostrander Assisted Living gives support to many different needs, so folks who need short-term help, memory care for Alzheimer's, long-term stays, post-surgical recovery, skilled nursing 24 hours, or even hospice can get what's needed, with therapy services like physical, occupational, and speech available right there. There's a focus on giving each person their own plan for care, making adjustments as needs change, and staff help coordinate medical issues and supervise medications, even if someone needs wheelchair help or more intensive supervision. Residents get the chance to join activities, games, gardening, religious chapel gatherings, crafts, and movie nights, and there's both community events and some programs run by the residents themselves, plus a salon/barber, transportation for appointments or fun outings, and space for small pets. There's aim for safety and comfort, but also letting residents keep as much independence as they want, so the environment feels like home but with support always close by.
