Deer Crest Senior Living sits as a place where older adults can choose how they want to live, so folks can pick independent living, assisted living, or memory care, and the apartments come in one or two-bedroom layouts with modern kitchens, private spaces, and even dens, and there's plenty of storage to tuck things away, plus you can bring a pet, which a lot of people find comforting. The staff, who call their services things like "Deer Crest Care" and "The Deer Crest Experience," work all day and some hours at night, and there's a 24-hour call system if anyone needs help, and they offer personalized help with bathing, dressing, taking medicines, and housekeeping, so people don't have to worry so much about everyday chores. With the partnership they have with Ebenezer and Fairview Health Services, residents get access to health care and supportive services around Minnesota, and when folks need to recover or stay strong, physical and occupational therapists from Odom Health and Rehab come in, so all kinds of rehabilitation services are right there. The community also has special areas like "Memory Lane Neighborhood" for people who need memory care, which means there's a caring team ready with the extra support and structure some folks require, and the care team keeps up with outside healthcare providers and manages care plans to fit what each person needs.
Meals get planned by chefs and there are special menus for holidays and celebrations, and everyone eats in pleasant dining rooms, and if someone has special dietary needs, they can get meals made just for them, so nobody feels left out. The place is faith-based, so they offer devotional activities, as well as lots of group programs, games, and outdoor activities like walking on trails or sitting outdoors on decks and patios where people often spot wildlife, and these social programs and common spaces help keep people connected and active. The community itself is designed with safety and comfort in mind, using emergency response systems and layouts that make getting around easier, no matter your mobility needs, plus there's plenty of communal areas, activity rooms, and even a community room with a kitchen and bar for gatherings. Memory care services at Deer Crest provide a gentle, structured environment, and for more independent folks, there's maintenance-free apartment living and the chance to take part in events while keeping as active as you like, and the staff help with everything from diabetic care to incontinence care and non-ambulatory support if necessary.
Deer Crest says, "This Is Your Time to Thrive," and they try to make it possible by offering engaging activities, relaxing outdoor spaces, organized trips off-site, and the chance to enjoy time with neighbors. The apartments are stylish and welcoming, and the community focuses on the mind, body, and spirit, so people can feel at home while getting the support they need.
