Covenant Living of Golden Valley sits in a quiet, wooded area near a creek and a nature preserve, so the campus feels peaceful while still being close to a big city with plenty of arts, shopping, and dining. The main building and grounds offer a safe spot for people 62 and older, and the place has a good mix of active, retired folks who like to stay involved. The setting is park-like, and many apartments have balconies or patios that let you enjoy these views. Apartments and suites come in studio, one-bedroom, one-bedroom plus den, and two-bedroom options, with specific floor plans like Aspen, Balsam, Evergreen, Birch, Hawthorne, Juniper, Cedar, and Linden, so people can pick what fits. Most apartments have full kitchens, big closets, and private baths, and everything stays in good working order because all maintenance and groundskeeping gets managed by the staff, so people don't have to bother with repairs or yard work.
The community supports a range of needs through something called a "continuum of care," letting residents move from independent living to assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, or rehab as health needs change, all in the same place. For people living with Alzheimer's or other memory-related issues, the memory care area and Heritage House offer specialized support in a secure environment. Assisted living staff help with daily activities like bathing, getting dressed, and taking medicine, and there's always a nurse nearby. The skilled nursing center is Medicare-certified and lets residents get round-the-clock medical attention, including wound care, pain management, diabetes care, IV therapy, and help with recovery after illness or surgery. People can stay for a short time for respite or rehab, or as part of long-term living.
There are property features like covered parking, guest parking, handicap access, pet-friendly policies for small animals, and ways to get to nearby places with scheduled transportation. The community has a wellness center, fitness room, pool, spa, and spaces for faith-based gatherings, recreation, and social events. The staff run activities and programs, including the LifeConnect wellness initiative, and they offer housekeeping, pharmacy services, dining programs with three meals a day, special diet options, and dietitian consults. Services for health include dental, vision, podiatry, audiology, and discharge planning, and they'll help manage medications and specialized health needs. Apartments range from simple alcoves to large suites, with all being designed to be easy to get around, with open kitchens, step-free showers, wide doors, and emergency call systems. Residents can choose various entrance fee options, including some that refund part or all of the fee if they move out.
The grounds and buildings have kept up their reputation for being clean and well-tended. There's a strong sense of fellowship, and the place offers both regular spiritual activities and a community where people care about supporting each other. The community is not-for-profit and faith-based, and it's open to people from different backgrounds. Many residents have histories of professional and civic involvement, so there's always a group interested in events and opportunities for engagement. Covenant Living of Golden Valley allows people to stay active, safe, and social, with choices in how much or little help they want as life changes.
