Central Minnesota Senior Care operates in communities like Sunburg, Belgrade, and Murdock, offering a mix of care types including assisted living, memory care, nursing home care, skilled nursing, independent living, and even home care support. The Sunburg campus sits at 403 Central Avenue and features comfortable studio and single-bedroom units with private bathrooms, emergency call systems, and wheelchair accessible rooms. Facilities include names like Gabriel House, Miriam Manor, Divine House Valley, and the Belgrade Nursing Home, which has a rating of 7.1 out of 10. They don't accept Medicare but take private pay and some other insurance options, with state or local government regulation.
Residents get personal care around the clock for things like medication help, bathing, dressing, and transfers, and staff can help with spoon feeding or sitting assistance if needed. Nurses are on staff, with a licensed nurse on-call 24/7, and scheduled health checkups or doctor visits happen regularly. Those who need speech or occupational therapy can get it, and there's special attention for people with Parkinson's, diabetes, or low mobility, as well as dementia or Alzheimer's care. The place organizes daily activities such as arts and crafts, movie nights, computer classes, and gardening, along with a beauty salon, bistro, wellness center, games room, and internet access. Residents can enjoy walking trails, jogging paths, gardens, a reading area, and a landscaped courtyard, and transportation or parking is arranged for outings or appointments.
Dining includes three meals a day, and the kitchen serves meals for special dietary needs-pureed menus, diabetic options, and allergy-safe choices-and there's all-day dining and snack availability. Housekeeping, laundry, and even dry cleaning are part of the package, along with help coordinating with healthcare providers and family outreach, so families stay in the loop and can visit for gatherings, with support to make the process smooth. There are scheduled activities every day, support for non-ambulatory care, and an emergency alert and 24-hour security system for peace of mind. The environment stays inviting and secure, with a supportive group atmosphere, and staff provide help for both short-term, respite needs or long-term stays. Some people pick this small community as an alternative to larger nursing homes, since it gives support in a home-like setting, especially for those wanting continued independence with a safety net close by. The setting also places residents near local spots like Kaffestua cafe and Sunburg Free Lutheran Church. The focus remains on personalized care, a simple lifestyle, and maintaining residents' dignity and comfort.
