St Crispin Living Community

St Crispin Living Community, now called Benedictine Living Community-Red Wing, sits about 2.1 miles outside Red Wing, Minnesota, and offers different care choices for older adults, blending skilled nursing, assisted living, memory care, rehabilitation, and independent living all on the same campus, and what stands out is how the staff help with things like bathing, dressing, medication management, meals made for special diets, and more, whether someone needs a lot of care or just a bit of support to keep their independence. The community has staff in many roles, including Registered Nurses, Nursing Assistants, Resident Assistants, Maintenance Technicians, Dietary Aides, and Activities Assistants, showing a wide net of support, and they also have a full-time activity director who puts on Bible activities, Bingo, crafts, field trips, and life enrichment programs that keep spirits up and help residents connect day-to-day. The grounds have walking paths, garden areas, an enclosed courtyard, and furnished senior apartments-studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts-with telephones, Wi-Fi, emergency alert systems, and regular housekeeping. The dining service focuses on nutritious and tasty meals that support health and adds a touch of comfort. St Crispin Living Community's memory care serves those with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia, placing a strong emphasis on safety, offering secure spaces, and using therapies that help reduce confusion and worry for both residents and families. There's also rehabilitation for recovery after surgery or illness, skilled nursing for chronic conditions, and help with things like transfer assistance, hospice waiver, and healthcare coordination. Pets are welcome, with cats and dogs allowed, and transportation and parking make visiting and outings easier, while community-run and sponsor-led events-like movie nights and social gatherings-build a friendly atmosphere. The facility accepts elderly waivers to help with affordability but only takes Medicare payments if they're certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, and local agencies like the Department of Aging or Veteran's Services do their inspections. St Crispin's faith-based mission is reflected in relationships built between staff and residents, an open-door policy for families, and a focus on supporting well-being at every stage. The community fosters independent living for active seniors, assisted living for those who need more help, and thorough, personalized memory care, and it's all backed by a staff that values dignity, comfort, hospitality, and the special needs of older adults, aiming to be a welcoming and lively place for people from every walk of life.
