Getty Street Assisted Living

Getty Street Assisted Living sits at 1214 Getty Street South in Sauk Centre, Minnesota, and has 25 rooms with four different sizes to choose from, so folks can find what suits them best, and folks there get care that fits their needs, with options for assisted living, memory care for conditions like dementia or Alzheimer's, respite and short-term stays, and even hospice care for those who need comfort toward the end, and you'll see that help with diabetes, incontinence, and special diets like allergy-sensitive menus is part of what they do, along with medication help, catheter or colostomy care, and private duty care if someone needs a bit more individual attention, so everyone's day-to-day life can stay as smooth as possible. The place is led by Executive Director Harry Maron, who brings experience managing healthcare, and the staff keeps the environment welcoming and supportive while working to help residents keep their independence and dignity, but they're there 24/7 to help with things like bathing, dressing, getting around, and making sure medicine gets taken right, and they'll even help residents communicate with healthcare providers if needed. There's a gated patio with raised garden beds for folks who like to be outdoors, regular movies, arts, gardening, and plenty of community activities, and residents even run their own events sometimes, which brings a nice feeling of togetherness; three family-style meals get served each day in a dining room, and special diets-like for diabetes-get handled with care, so no one has to worry at mealtime. Smoking's permitted for those who need it, and each room comes with a telephone and furnishings already set up, so moving in doesn't have to be hard. Residents can use 24-hour call systems and emergency alert buttons for safety, and staff provide housekeeping, laundry-even dry cleaning-plus transportation and parking if someone wants to get out and about or needs to see a doctor, and there's help for activities of daily living right when it's needed so people aren't left waiting. The facility's got beautiful grounds for walking, movie nights, an arts room, a barber and salon for a bit of pampering, and a focus on offering a comfortable, stress-free home where new hobbies and friendships might begin. If a resident needs spiritual support, those services are offered too. Getty Street Assisted Living has received a 5-star rating from MDH for its resident survey, making it the only 5-star care facility within 25 miles of Sauk Centre, and they say they're committed to improving as times and care standards change, working with local organizations and even celebrating their 20th anniversary recently. Payment types include private/self-pay, cash, or check, which helps keep things simple. Folks get weekly laundry and housekeeping, a key if someone wants to focus on enjoying each day, and the staff aims to make sure every person is treated with compassion and respect, which is what you'd want for any family member.
