CLO - Stratford

CLO - Stratford - Woodbury, MN, run by Community Living Options, gives people different ways to live in a community setting, offering both short-term and long-term care, like assisted living, independent living, and memory care for seniors, plus home care and support for those with disabilities, and there's care for both adults and children, so you'll find adult day programs, child foster residences, adult foster care with onsite caregivers, and services like in-home support, housing stabilization, and even environmental changes for people needing ramps and such in their homes or cars. They've got skilled nursing, memory care with alarms and bracelets to help keep folks safe, apartment and home rentals, and group homes, and they care for people with all sorts of needs-including mental health and substance use help and veteran services, and both the residents and their families get guidance from advisors who help find the best fit, since there's a free service that lists communities matching each person's needs, with reports and pricing options for private or semi-private memory care rooms, and if you want to stay a while or just need respite or temporary care, there's openings. Residents get transportation to appointments, meals cooked on site-including for people with allergies or diabetes-housekeeping with linens, security features like 24-hour call systems, and help with daily activities, plus activities on and off the campus, and both staff and neighbors run regular get-togethers in big common spaces like dining rooms and gardens, as well as more secluded areas for quiet or private time. You can live here with a pet, if you want to keep a dog or cat, and apartments come furnished or unfurnished with kitchenettes and safety features in place, and since all levels of care are in one large community, folks don't have to move far if their needs change from independent to more hands-on care, with assisted transfers using lifts, incontinence support, medication and insulin help, and reminders for daily routines; there are staff on duty all day, every day, with special areas set up for people with dementia or wandering risks, using technology to keep track of residents who might get lost, and on top of that, you'll find activities to promote mental wellness, support for veterans, transportation options-even wheelchair rides-and food support through home-delivered meals or food banks. The place runs from 8AM to 9PM during the week, with shorter weekend hours, with lots of parking and even some free transportation; they're pet-friendly, focus on security and cleanliness with good air filters and medical-grade cleaners, and they've won recognition for good meals, caring staff, and friendly living, and there are always efforts to help every person feel like they belong and can contribute to the community.
