Lake Minnetonka Shores sits on Shoreline Drive in Spring Park, Minnesota, and covers about 18 acres with gardens, woodlands, and views of Lake Minnetonka, so people can walk lakeside paths, relax in beautiful outdoor spaces, fish from docks, or watch birds and the changing seasons, and there's always plenty of places to sit and visit near the firepit or in the gardens. This community offers apartments in places called The Court and The Villa, with some overlooking the lake and gardens, and has living options for independent seniors, those who need assisted living, residents needing memory care or skilled nursing, as well as short-term and transitional care if recovery or therapy's needed after a hospital stay. Staff help around the clock with nursing care and personal care, and nurses and aides pay attention to medical needs like medication management, diabetic and incontinence care, along with therapies for speech, movement, or daily tasks, plus there's Liberty™ Personally Designed Living, which lets residents choose things like when they sleep and eat, what activities they join, and how their day goes, so daily life feels a bit more like home.
The community's built to feel comfortable and safe, with wheelchair accessible showers, emergency pendants, controlled access, and smoke-free spaces, and pets like dogs and cats are welcome if guidelines are followed. Residents can spend time in lots of indoor and outdoor spaces, using the garden plots, chapel, library, computer lab, billiards room, and even a woodshop if they like to work on projects. Activities happen every day, from fitness classes in the Wings Wellness Center to crafting, movies, devotional groups, and outings on the community bus to local stores, while guest dining and a general store make daily life easier.
There's a special area called The Gables for skilled nursing care, where care plans help residents be as independent as possible, and The Arbor, which is the secure memory care neighborhood with custom routines, brain activities, and staff trained for memory support. Housekeeping, on-site maintenance, meals with vegetarian options, and a beauty-barber shop keep things running smoothly, and the grounds have a shuffleboard, putting green, gardens with raised beds, and a play area for visiting children in the Koala Bear Children's Day Care, which helps foster intergenerational activities.
Lake Minnetonka Shores holds spiritual care events, onsite dental and massage services, and provides parking that includes an underground garage and car wash bay, plus complimentary transportation for those who don't drive, so residents don't need to worry about getting out. People often enjoy pontoon boat rides, musical performances, and event programming that encourages friendships and socializing, and the on-site business office, guest suite, and flexible dining make it easier for family to visit or help out.
Professionally managed by PHS Management, LLC, and part of Presbyterian Homes & Services, this community has served older adults since 1955, and offers changing levels of support, so even residents who start out independent can access more help over time. Priority access to other Presbyterian Homes & Services options is available if a move's needed later, and the community welcomes people over 100 years old just as warmly as those younger. Overall, Lake Minnetonka Shores offers a stable setting by the lake with many different care and housing choices, letting each person find the level of support that's needed, while enjoying plenty of chances for social, creative, spiritual, or quiet time in a calm environment.
