Napoleon Congregate/AL Apartments sits at 320 East 5th Street in Napoleon, North Dakota, and the place really covers a lot of what folks need as they get older because you've got independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, adult day care, and even hospice care under one roof, and they go by "Congregate" and "AL Apartments" for a reason. There's a medium-sized, 10-bed community feel, and they make room for both assisted living and independent options, with 62 independent living apartments and 34 assisted living units, plus studios all set up for easy living, so you don't feel lost in a big crowd. The place is connected to Bethel Lutheran Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, so you've got access to skilled nursing, long-term care, restorative and contract physical therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, IV therapy, wound care, and even help for folks who need tube feedings or palliative care services.
Maple View Memory Care takes care of residents who need extra help with memory problems, offering a safe setting and basic memory care services. There's always staff around-24 hours a day-and you'll find that they help with medicine, bathing, dressing, transfers, and general personal care, all so you don't feel stuck or alone. The place does respite care, home care, and it even has a daycare center for employees, which you don't see everywhere. In terms of daily living, the staff handles meals, housekeeping, laundry, and linens, and if you have a pet, they'll let you keep dogs and cats, which can be a real comfort.
You get a kitchenette to fix little meals if you like, and the main dining room serves meals with options for special diets like allergies or diabetes. The building's got basics covered-air conditioning, Wi-Fi, regular internet, cable TV, and emergency alert systems-and the rooms come furnished, with telephone hookup if you want it. There's a library, chapel, gym, and pool with a hot tub for exercise or just relaxing, and you can visit a beauty salon or a proper licensed beauty shop. There's also an ice cream parlor that folks go to for a treat, and regular community activities like movie nights, outings, games, and devotional gatherings, all scheduled to keep people social and busy.
You can take walks outside on the garden paths or sit for a while to get some fresh air, and if you need a ride somewhere for a doctor's appointment or even non-medical errands, they've got you covered with transportation. Nurses and aides offer medication management, plus they'll coordinate with outside doctors or therapists if you need them. Folks who need end-of-life care can get that here, and they offer hospice and palliative care too. All in all, Napoleon Congregate/AL Apartments aims to give seniors both help when needed and as much independence as possible, with a steady routine and plenty of quiet comforts.
