Res Care At Nine Mile Creek II sits at a quiet spot in a residential area of Bloomington, right across from Nine Mile Creek, and it's got nice walking paths and a backyard that looks out on a lake, so you get to watch the seasons change right from the deck or porch. The place is a board and care home that takes care of small groups of seniors, and there are three of these homes in the Richfield-Bloomington area, each set up with modern comforts, a cozy fireplace, and spaces for both privacy and gathering. Residents can pick private or shared rooms, all with furnishings and a telephone, plus a dining room, arts room, barber and salon, and common areas for movie nights and games, and if you like to be outdoors, there are walking paths, gardens, and a patio.
The care here covers a lot-independent living for people who are still active, assisted living if you need help with things like bathing, dressing, or getting around, and memory care for those with mild memory loss, with trained staff and special activities aimed at keeping memories sharp. They also provide skilled nursing, round-the-clock support for more complex health needs, and short-term respite care if families need a break. The staff helps with medication set-up and reminders, makes sure meals follow any dietary restrictions, and keeps up with laundry and housekeeping so residents don't have to worry about chores. Incontinent care and non-ambulatory support are available too, and if someone needs to get to medical appointments, scheduled van rides are part of the package.
Safety is a focus, with alarm systems, a 24-hour call system, 24/7 awake staff, and a nurse on call at all times, so help's always close by. The building doesn't allow pets but keeps the environment calm and home-like, with community activities, resident-run clubs, and chances to visit nearby parks and shopping. Meals come with special choices and restaurant-style dining at all hours, so no one has to eat alone or on a schedule. There are move-in services to help new residents settle in, and personalized care plans involve both the resident and family, with open and clear communication around changes or needs. The goal is to keep people as independent as possible while making sure they're safe, comfortable, and respected, whether they're staying long-term or just for a short time. The daily rate runs between $140 and $160, and everything's designed with seniors' everyday needs in mind, giving them a steady routine and a caring place to call home.
