Holly Ridge Manor I

Holly Ridge Manor I sits in Starbuck, Minnesota, and offers a wide range of senior living options, so folks can find the care that fits them best, whether that's independent living, assisted living, memory care, or skilled nursing, and there's also home care for those who want to stay in familiar surroundings. This place is part of Minnewaska Community Health Services and works closely with local Lutheran churches, making it a faith-based, non-profit community that tries to give high-quality care in a Christian setting, and you'll see reminders of that in the way people treat each other and how things are run day-to-day. Memory care, called Glacial Trails Memory Care, features a sixteen-unit secure area where staff, who know about dementia and memory issues, provide help around the clock, with special programs and a safe outdoor patio, so residents can stay active and still be safe, and the memory care area supports those with Alzheimer's or other memory challenges using daily structure and activities. The facility, which had a big addition in 2018, isn't too big, housing about 21 residents with 32 licensed beds, so it's not hard to get to know staff and neighbors, and everyone has access to amenities like a dining room, kitchenettes in apartments, furnished rooms (private or semi-private), cable TV, Wi-Fi, a salon, walking paths, a garden, an arts area, and a movie room. People who live here get meals-prepared with special diets in mind for things like diabetes or allergies-plus housekeeping, laundry, and help with daily activities like bathing or medication management, and staff and caregivers are always around thanks to a 24-hour call system and supervision. For getting out and about, there's transportation help for doctor appointments or group outings, and activities run by both the staff and residents, so folks can stay involved if they want, whether that's social gatherings, crafts, games, or just relaxing outside. There's also help for those who need skilled nursing, hospice, or respite care, and if anyone's just moving in, the team assists with coordination to make the move easier. Utilities, meals, and safety features like emergency alert systems are all included, so basics are covered, making Holly Ridge Manor I a practical choice for seniors with different care needs, especially for those who want a close-knit environment with faith ties and personalized support.
