Cerenity Residence On Humboldt sits on a 15-acre park-like campus on the West Side of St. Paul, with two main buildings called The Residence and The Care Center, and you'll find it's a faith-based community that wants to help folks stay as independent and dignified as possible using innovation and compassion, which I always think is a good thing. Assisted living and memory care for people in the early stages of memory loss are available at The Residence, while The Care Center handles more advanced memory care, hospice, 24/7 skilled nursing, and rehabilitation for those who need extra help getting back on their feet, and if you're looking for transitional care, they've got that too, so if someone's coming out of the hospital but isn't ready to go back home yet, there's a place for that in their setup. There are about 21 memory care units, and the whole community has room for up to 117 seniors, with choices like studio apartments, deluxe studios, and one-bedroom layouts, plus some units have private bathrooms and even little touches like built-in bookcases, and folks can even bring pets as long as they pay a pet deposit.
Cerenity's got services to make life easier, like restaurant-style meals in the Humboldt Bluff Café, all-day dining so you don't have to stick to strict meal times, transportation and parking options if you still go out or have visitors, full housekeeping, move-in help, laundry (even dry cleaning), and a range of health services from medication management to help with bathing, transfers, and dressing, since nurses are there day and night. There's a secured memory care area for those who need it, and everyone gets access to a 24-hour call system and emergency alert system for safety. Spiritual care and a chapel are available for those who want them.
Many activities are offered to help residents stay active and social, like exercise rooms, arts and crafts, movie nights, group outings, men's and women's groups, and special activities through the Eldergrow program, along with on-site doctor visits and therapy if needed. You'll find common areas like a community room, resident lounge, gardens, a library, and walking paths, and the neighborhood has parks and dining options close by, which is handy for visitors or outings. Volunteer opportunities are open for people of all ages, whether they want to just visit with residents one-on-one, help with group events, or go along on trips.
Cerenity covers several kinds of payment, including private pay, Medicaid, Medicare, Elderly Waiver, and CADI. They're up to date on all their licenses, including memory care (license number 407558), and they've designed the place to support seniors with different needs, whether that's independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, or both early and late stage memory care, and they offer hospice and palliative care too. You'll find amenities like a barber and salon, a beauty shop, chapel, meals that follow special diets for folks with allergies or diabetes, parking (details can be asked about), and lots of spaces to spend time both indoors and outside.
This place tries to build a real sense of community, with stories and programs that help people connect, and they make efforts to keep things clean, comfortable, and safe. Whatever a resident's needs, from rehab therapy after an illness to full memory care for Alzheimer's, Cerenity Residence on Humboldt aims to meet them, creating a place where faith, respect, and compassion matter every day.
