Lindenwood Assisted Living sits in a quiet part of Slayton, Minnesota, at 2409 Linden Ave, and you'll find it welcoming and peaceful with only 21 residents living there which helps everyone get to know one another, and you've got different choices for where to stay like studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and semi-private rooms, and some have kitchenettes, plus all the rooms come fully furnished if you want them that way and there's cable or satellite TV and a telephone in each one. Residents get help with things like bathing, dressing, moving from bed to wheelchair, and keeping track of medications, and if someone needs diabetes or incontinence care, the staff can assist with monitoring insulin or other special needs, and there's always someone around 24 hours a day in case of emergencies with a call system in place for quick alerts.
If chores get harder, the housekeeping and laundry team takes care of cleaning, linens, and even dry cleaning, and meals are served in the dining room so you don't have to worry about cooking, with special options for those on certain diets like a diabetic plan or other dietary restrictions, and there's all-day dining, too, if you like to eat at different times. There's a garden outside where residents can spend time, walking paths for fresh air, and indoor community spaces where folks often gather for movie nights, arts and crafts, and resident-run activities, so there's always a way to meet neighbors or enjoy things together. For those who need it, transportation is available for doctor appointments, and staff work with healthcare providers to stay on top of each person's needs, offering help tailored to each person whether they need lots of support or just a little.
There are community features like an emergency alert system, on-site barber and beauty salon, and activities that encourage both movement and socializing, so you can keep active and involved if you want to, and mental wellness programs bring opportunities to keep the mind sharp. If someone needs memory care, non-ambulatory care, or respite stays, Lindenwood Assisted Living offers those services along with continuing care retirement options. Families can pay privately or use Social Security, Veterans' benefits, or private insurance, and there are some extra fees if you need higher levels of care, a second person in the apartment, or short-term respite stays. The place aims to keep everyone comfortable and lets them stay as independent as possible, and the friendly surroundings, both inside and out, create a sense of belonging in this small Minnesota community.
