Minot Lodge Senior Living sits in a three-story building with studios and one-bedroom apartments, along with a few two-bedroom units, and the place really stands out for its range of care since you can start off living independently with friends and activities or move on to assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, or even a continuing care retirement community if your health needs change, and this makes things simple for families since all levels of care are under one roof and you don't have to move if you need a different type of support. The building has nice touches like sunlit living spaces, a coffee bar with snacks anytime, and pet-friendly areas so residents can bring pets along, and the rooms come fully furnished but you can decorate them to feel more like home, which makes settling in a little easier for most folks. There's always someone on duty, including licensed nurses, to help with things like medication, wound care, and rehabilitation, plus access to specialists for memory care if you have Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia. You'll find a chapel, beauty salon, and barber shop right on site, along with a fitness room, library, wellness center, computer area, and gaming room, and if you like the outdoors, the property has landscaped grounds with a lake and walking paths for fresh air and quiet time.
Meals are prepared for you, and the dining rooms are made for comfort, with a private dining space available if your family comes to visit, while scheduled activities, trips, and resident-run clubs keep things lively and social. Minot Lodge takes pride in community-led events, and with a dedicated guest services team, you get help with daily tasks or just a friendly face nearby. Transportation is arranged for both medical appointments and outings, and housekeeping and linen service take care of chores. They offer short-term respite care if a family caregiver needs a break, and experienced staff listen closely to residents' life stories because they want everyone to feel at home and included. The focus on relationships means residents, families, and staff get to know each other well, giving the place a warm and connected feeling rather than a big, impersonal institution. You'll find information on care levels and pricing is straightforward, and they provide resources about finances and moving, which can be helpful for families making decisions. Wellness programs focus on keeping everybody as healthy as possible in body and mind, and activities are designed for enjoying each day, from quiet reading to events in the activity and entertainment rooms. With a variety of floor plans, a maintenance-free environment, and staff always available to lend a hand, Minot Lodge works to create a comfortable and secure lifestyle for seniors at many stages of aging, aiming for fun, friendship, and peace of mind.
