Eagan

Eagan sits at 3808 Blackhawk Ridge Place in Eagan, MN, and is a small assisted living community with room for up to nine residents, and the setting feels like a real home, with only seven units and both private and shared rooms, and there's even a master suite for those who want a bit more space. The place is part of Peaceful Mind Homes and offers long-term care, hospice, respite, general care, and memory care, with the price changing depending on the level of care, starting at $7,167.50 per month, and they take private pay, long-term care insurance, and some Minnesota-specific programs like CADI and GRH along with other payment options. There's a homey feeling, since the community's placed in a regular neighborhood, and you'll see a private fenced backyard with flower gardens, a secured outdoor patio, outdoor deck with grill, and pretty foliage to enjoy with friends or pets, since dogs and cats can stay with approval. Eagan provides on-site and off-site activities, including an activity area with a piano, daily living support with a high staff-to-resident ratio, memory care programming, and help with things like medication reminders, incontinence care, diabetic needs, and personal care. Every unit comes with things like cable TV, phone, internet, vegetarian and kosher meal options, wheelchair-accessible showers, bath tubs, and some private baths, so there's no trouble with accessibility for folks who need a wheelchair or have trouble walking. Staff include caregivers on site 24/7, nurses on site over ten hours each week, and 24-hour on-call nurses, and there's also on-site physician services for extra support. They handle laundry, linen, housekeeping, and meals, so there's less to worry about, and transportation is covered-scheduled vans run to medical appointments or other spots, but it may cost extra. The building has alarm systems, awake staff at all hours, guest parking, and is close to hospitals, clinics, restaurants, and shopping if you want to get out for a bit. Eagan's a good place for people who like quiet, family-style living with a mix of independence and support, and everything's on one level to keep things simple for getting around.
