Golden Horizons Of Sandstone sits quietly at 1109 Lundorff Drive, in Sandstone, Minnesota, a single-level building with three wings and warm, natural colors that fit right in with the countryside around it, and although small in size with just 35 apartments, that's what some folks like-apartments here have big windows for lots of natural light and plenty of storage, and you can choose between independent living, assisted living, or memory care apartments depending on the level of help you need. The place welcomes both cats and dogs, so you don't have to part with your pet, and if you want to get your hair done, there's a beauty salon right on site, and beautician services for easy grooming.
The staff provides help day and night, from basic support like bathing, dressing, medication management, and laundry to full meal preparation, and caregivers work hard to build real relationships with the residents who live here, focusing especially on folks who need memory care due to Alzheimer's or dementia, with protected living areas and custom plans to keep them comfortable and safe. There are outings, trips, onsite activities, and organized programs that help people stay social, keep moving, and feel part of a community, and outdoor and indoor common areas give everyone a spot to sit and relax or visit with friends.
High-speed Wi-Fi makes it easier for residents to stay in touch with family or even use social media if they want, and the apartments and common areas are accessible for people who use wheelchairs or walkers. The community is close to Essentia Health Hospital for anyone who has medical needs, and you'll also find vegetarian meal options, offsite devotional services, and help for those who need hospice or respite care, so short stays for recovery or extra support are also available. Seniors who live mostly independently can pick independent living for a worry-free, active routine-there are aides who can come right to a resident's home and help out, too, for those preferring to stay at home but needing a bit of extra hands.
Though Golden Horizons doesn't offer every amenity under the sun, the facility stands out for its calm, small-town setting, a sense of peace inside the building, and a resident-centered approach where each person is looked after according to what they need, all with a goal to keep daily living simple, enjoyable, and secure.
