Edgewood Hawks Point sits at 1266 Signal Butte in Dickinson, North Dakota, right by the Dickinson State University campus, and has over 70 apartments and more than 10 cottages for seniors 55 and older, offering both independent and assisted living as well as memory care and short-term stays for those who need it, and the place really covers a lot of ground because it's part of a larger group of Edgewood communities found in places like Minnesota, Idaho, and beyond. Seniors here can choose from studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, or even free-standing cottages, and each home comes with its own thermostat, spacious closets, emergency call system, and either a kitchenette or a full kitchen, so there's some freedom in how to live, and there's Wi-Fi, cable TV, private bathrooms, and air conditioning too, which makes things pretty comfortable.
People aren't left alone at Edgewood Hawks Point since there's staff on duty around the clock with a part-time nurse and special staff on hand, always ready to help with things like dressing, bathing, or managing medication, whether someone needs a lot of help or just a bit. Meals are served three times a day in the dining room, cooked by a professional chef, and menus change often, with options for most dietary needs, so folks get variety but don't have to worry about cooking if they don't want to. The place allows pets and encourages folks to bring their furry friends, and there are lots of activities: exercise classes, live entertainment, movie nights, arts and crafts, games, happy hours, and outings for shopping or lunch, which helps people stay involved and social without feeling pushed.
Housekeeping, laundry, and apartment maintenance are all included, so chores don't become a burden, plus there's scheduled transportation for doctor's appointments, shopping, or errands, making it easier to get around, especially if driving isn't an option anymore. There are plenty of places to gather, like the lounge, library, activity rooms, fitness area, and garden paths, plus outdoor programs and walking trails, so residents can spend time outside when they want. For wellness, the community offers on-site occupational and physical therapy, a spa, a fitness room, and even occasional use of a sauna, making it possible to keep up with health routines or start new ones. There's also an on-site beauty salon, and move-in coordination is available to help new folks get settled.
Safety's a clear priority with an emergency alert system and a 24-hour call system, which is good peace of mind, and staff can help with transfers or if someone's dealing with mobility issues. The community's location makes it simple to get to nearby parks, cafes, churches, pharmacies, and hospitals, so all the basics and some nice extras are close at hand, and the on-campus connection sometimes brings a liveliness that people enjoy. Residents have a choice of several ways to pay, from checks or credit cards to insurance and even home sale assistance, and while there's financial guidance, the details aren't spelled out. The facility is licensed by the state as assisted living, under license number AL56, and it's focused on supporting seniors with both daily living and health needs, including memory care for folks with Alzheimer's and non-ambulatory care for those with mobility trouble. Short-term stays and adult day services are available, which helps caregivers who might need respite.
All in all, Edgewood Hawks Point provides seniors with a mix of privacy and support, social opportunities, medical oversight, and access to activities and therapy in a safe community, with enough variety in living spaces and services to fit many different situations.
