Potter Ridge Senior Living sits nestled among the bluffs of Red Wing, offering a range of care options for seniors, like assisted living, memory care for those with dementia or Alzheimer's, independent living, nursing home care, home care, and continuing care. Residents can pick from studio, single-bedroom, shared, one or two-bedroom private apartments, all designed to help folks feel comfortable, safe, and independent, with features like keyless door locks, private bathrooms, accessible layouts, and emergency pendants for peace of mind. The building has wheel-chair accessibility across common and indoor areas, and apartments come furnished, though personal touches are welcome, with move-in coordination help for new residents.
Staff members stay on-site and on-call at all hours, providing help with daily living-so if someone needs a hand with bathing, dressing, getting around, managing medicines, or transfers, there's always someone to rely on, plus a licensed nurse is always just a call away. For those who need a short stay, there's respite care offering temporary, round-the-clock support to give primary caregivers a break. In memory care, the building's set up to reduce confusion and prevent wandering, while therapies and special care help support those with memory loss. Healthcare on site covers things like diabetic care, incontinence support, and non-ambulatory care, plus regular health assessments and coordination with outside healthcare providers.
Folks at Potter Ridge have plenty of ways to fill their days, since there are activities and a community life program built to foster togetherness and well-being, like group games in the entertainment room, birthday parties, musical events, movie nights, arts and crafts in a dedicated room, and resident-run activities alongside community-sponsored ones. Fitness, wellness programs, and scheduled offsite outings with transportation all get worked into the calendar. There's also a concierge, arrangement options for rides to appointments or community outings, and scheduled wellness visits.
Dining at Potter Ridge takes place in a large, friendly dining area, where food's prepared thoughtfully with an eye toward taste, and meals can accommodate allergies, diabetes, or other special diets; meal service's available all day, with flexible options if someone can't make scheduled times, and there are also special occasion menus. Amenities include a beauty salon and barber shop, housekeeping and bed-making, laundry and dry cleaning, computers and WiFi throughout, telephones in each room, fitness and therapy areas, indoor and outdoor walking paths, gardens, verandas where folks can sit and visit, parking, and accessible transportation services.
The staff works to create a community atmosphere, focusing on respect and dignity, so everyone feels valued and at home, whether they like to take part in group activities or prefer quiet time. Security and safety get backed up by a 24-hour call system, emergency response teams, and well-managed premises. The entire place operates under license number 30489 as a licensed assisted living community in Minnesota, and special service terms and program names help residents understand options clearly. Potter Ridge aims to support seniors' needs with both practical care and a sense of connection, offering housing and services set up for comfort, independence, and peace of mind.
