Vernon Terrace of Edina sits in the Grandview neighborhood and welcomes adults aged 55 and over, and the place really looks a bit like a ski lodge with several stories, big windows, and an open feeling. The community offers different care levels, from independent living apartments to assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing, so folks can stay longer as their needs change. Residents find a friendly, home-like environment, with professional staff ready to help with bathing, dressing, and medication, and the caregiving side stays flexible to meet varied needs. The property is close to the bus line and has resident parking and transportation, so getting out isn't too hard. The community doesn't allow pets and doesn't offer any pet-friendly features.
Memory care here uses the Ebenezer's Dimensions® program, which tailors support for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, including a controlled-access area to keep residents safe and provide calm routines. Vernon Terrace also provides respite care and hospice services, and with aging-in-place options, no one has to move if care needs increase. A home care agency stays on-site, and there's always trained staff. The building has a wellness center, a fitness center, a beauty salon with an on-site beautician, and a fireside room for socializing, plus raised garden beds and a patio out back for anyone who enjoys being outdoors. The dining room serves restaurant-style meals, and room service is available, and the kitchen staff follows a careful nutrition plan, often as part of Ebenezer's Crafted Culinary program, so meals taste good and help keep folks healthy.
Residents enjoy a busy calendar of activities-card games, matinees in the theater, lifelong learning, music on the community piano or organ, and social gatherings in the atrium or solarium. People wanting spiritual options have devotional services on and off-site. The library and meeting rooms let people read or gather quietly, and those who want to stay active can spend time in the fitness center. There's high-speed internet, common rooms, and fireside areas for relaxing. Showers and full tubs have wheelchair access, and the whole building aims for a safe, clean environment. The community doesn't have pet amenities, but it does offer help on a call-in basis for personal care, laundry, or parking arrangements. The Willows Memory Care connects to the property for people who need extra memory care support. Vernon Terrace isn't currently for sale or rent on public listings, but it operates as a senior rental community.
The apartments come with some basic utilities, but there's not a list of everything included or details about the outside design, interior finishes, or specific amenities like parking structures. The staff focuses on meeting residents where they are, making Vernon Terrace a steady, supportive place for older adults who want options as they age, a full schedule, and a community that feels lived-in but elegant.
