Sholom Community Alliance Home sits in Saint Louis Park, Minnesota, and is part of a nonprofit group with over 100 years of service to seniors, offering a wide range of care options like independent living, assisted living, memory care, nursing homes, and home care, all while following Jewish values but welcoming all backgrounds. The campus has beautifully designed apartments-private rooms, studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units-with modern features like private bathrooms, full tubs, wheelchair accessible showers, and emergency call systems, so residents feel safe and comfortable as their needs change. Indoors, walkways connect the campus buildings, which makes moving between different levels of care familiar and easy even when someone's health changes, and they offer a real continuum of care so folks can age in place with less stress.
The staff includes compassionate, multilingual caregivers, nurses, and aides available 24 hours a day for help with medication, personal care, meals, escorting, cueing, redirection, and support for those with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, all with staff-to-resident ratios for personalized attention, and if someone needs more help, there are higher-care options like enhanced assisted living at Roitenberg. The community provides all sorts of indoor and outdoor spaces, with gardens, walking paths, a swimming pool and hot tub, library, chapel, family kitchen, and a dining room serving meals including kosher and allergy-sensitive diets, all prepared by staff so residents don't need to worry about cooking or shopping. Pets are welcome, which means folks can keep their animal companions nearby, and the whole place is wheelchair accessible and has parking, transportation (including to appointments or outings), and is close to shops and medical services.
There's a full calendar of activities-including arts, music, fitness, religious and cultural programs, resident-run events, movie nights, pet therapy, and off-site trips-plus services like salons, barbershops, beautician help, podiatry, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, dental, x-ray and lab services, and help with daily chores like laundry and housekeeping. For those who need short stays, respite care is available to give family caregivers relief, and there's hospice care with trained comfort staff as folks reach the end of life, whether they're in private homes or hospice suites. There's help for diabetes management (including blood sugar checks), bowel and bladder care, non-ambulatory support with two-person transfers, and secure areas for seniors who might wander.
The home also features adult day programs, daily activities to prevent loneliness, both Christian and Jewish spiritual services, and home care help even for those not living on campus. Their dedication to personal dignity, safety, and social connections shows in the community's inviting décor, group spaces, and inclusive programs, all designed for those over 55. The facility has earned a 3.5-star rating and is known for balancing independence with support, sticking to nonprofit roots with grantmaking and financial programs, and offering well-planned, well-staffed care from nurses, doctors, and interdisciplinary teams, whenever it's needed.
