Root River Estates sits at 110 4th St NE in Stewartville, Minnesota, and offers both independent and assisted living for adults age 55 and older, where folks get a choice between one- and two-bedroom apartments that have full kitchens and features like walk-in showers with seats, grab bars, higher outlets, frost-free refrigerators, and easy-to-use door handles, and if someone's worried about stairs there's an elevator that helps everyone move between floors without a fuss, and the apartments give enough space and privacy so it still feels like home but help is never far off if needed. Staff members are available around the clock to help with emergencies, and they can help residents move from bed to wheelchair, give support with bathing or dressing, and look after medical needs like diabetes checks or medication management, and there's help for folks who need non-ambulatory care or incontinence support too. Meals are included and planned by chefs and meal pros, so healthy, balanced food comes without anyone having to cook, and if you don't feel like sitting alone, there's a dining room with others for company, and a fireplace lounge and patio area where residents sit and talk, or find a quiet moment.
Laundry's on every floor so no one has to go out for clean clothes. There's a barber shop and beauty salon, and a little exercise room to help with staying active. Some residents enjoy activities right at the community, from social and devotional gatherings to trips out, and there's also transportation if folks need to get to appointments. The place lets in up to two people per apartment, but there can be a third for an extra fee, and pets are allowed for a charge, with a bit of outdoor space for walking them. People pay $1,500 a month for rent, which covers utilities like satellite TV, internet, and a landline phone, but if you stay, you can choose a 12-month lease or even go month-to-month depending on what's needed. There isn't any parking offered, so that's something to think about before moving in. Light housekeeping and home health care services are available, and the building is focused on giving seniors a balanced life that mixes help when needed with independence, even though some folks might wish for more amenities. Root River Estates is currently not taking new residents as it's off the market.
