The Hummingbird

The Hummingbird sits in Meadowlands, Minnesota, at 7704 Cole Avenue, and it's one of those medium-sized senior living places where they try to give folks a mix of support, good food, and activities, and though the whole place is known for usual things like furnished rooms, gardens, and walking paths, it also has special touches with movie nights, an arts room, resident-run activities, a library, and a nice dining room where you can get meals all day-in fact, the food service even includes choices for people who need allergy-sensitive or diabetes-friendly meals, and the staff helps with things like bathing, dressing, medication, and moving from a bed to a chair, and they keep a 24-hour supervision system with a call button in case you need help any time. The care types cover assisted living with non-ambulatory support and wheelchair access, so people who can't walk easily can still get around comfortably, and folks have their choice of private, shared, or studio rooms, all with furnished options and phones. The maintenance includes daily housekeeping, laundry, and even dry cleaning, which sure makes chores easier, plus, the facility sets up transportation when needed, works with family and healthcare providers, and has on-site barber and salon services. The activities keep residents busy with movie nights, arts and crafts, community events, and even outings outside the building when the weather's nice, and the grounds offer plenty of outdoor spaces for walks or quiet time; there's move-in help, and for those who want a sense of community, there's always something happening, whether it's bingo or a resident-led gathering. The Hummingbird holds a community score of 3.8 based on reviews and ratings, while a proprietary system has rated it at 4.8, and the place's main point of contact goes by Mike and Julie, with a corporate office over in Toivola, Minnesota, listed as 10766 Arkola Road, so while the name itself brings to mind those tiny, busy birds, the real heart here is in the careful attention, the flexible care programs, and the steady effort to make life a bit easier for every resident.
