Healing Homes Living Services sits at 83 Cook Avenue in St. Paul and feels a bit like a quiet home in the neighborhood, nothing too big but not tiny either, fitting a small group of folks since there are only 3 licensed beds, and there's always someone on hand thanks to 24-hour supervision and a 24-hour call system, which helps people feel safe if they ever need help in the middle of the night or during the day. The place offers a mix of care-independent living with some resort-style touches, like common rooms, a little library, walking paths, gardens, and a beauty salon, plus a dining room where you can eat when you please with meals made for special diets if you need that, including things like diabetes or allergies. People have their own furnished bedrooms, sometimes sharing but with private space too, maybe even with their own small kitchenette, with emergency alert systems, telephones, regular housekeeping and linen service, and help with laundry or dry cleaning, so folks don't have to worry about those chores.
Assisted living at Healing Homes Living Services means staff will help with dressing, bathing, moving around, medication reminders, meal preparation, and getting to meals, and they also offer help with transfers-like getting in or out of a chair or bed. They run activities every day, both community-sponsored and some run by the other residents, so there's usually something to do if you want to join in, whether it's movie nights, arts and crafts, or a quiet visit in the garden. Staff puts together care plans tailored to each person's needs and likes, really trying to listen to family and residents about preferences or routines, whether it's medical needs or keeping up social habits. There's respite care for families needing a short break, and folks living with memory loss or dementia can get support in secure areas, with extra programs meant to help memory and offer comfort.
Healing Homes Living Services focuses on letting people keep their independence but always making sure someone's close by in case help's needed, which gives peace of mind to families. The home is licensed by the state and doesn't take Medicare unless certified, but it does accept long-term stays and aims for each person to feel part of a real community. The care team cares about each resident's background and goals, wanting everyone to feel like they belong, with a supportive environment that's calm and welcoming, and it's a good spot for seniors who need a combination of daily life help, health support, and some company without giving up their own routines.
