Ecumen Pathstone is a non-profit senior living community that sits near the Minnesota River bluffs, and you'll notice the views are nice and there's a peaceful feeling with the big old trees and Scandinavian-style buildings. The community offers a wide range of care, including Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care, Long-Term Care, Short-Term Transitional Care, and Respite Care, and they even have Home Care, Adult Day Services, Hospice, and Therapy right on campus, so folks can get help with daily things or more specialized support as their needs change. The care model here focuses on helping seniors stay healthy and as independent as possible, with personal care plans and teams trained for both Assisted Living and Memory Care, and if you have memory issues like Alzheimer's or dementia the place offers specialized services in closely monitored areas with building security and personalized, mind-invigorating activities to keep you engaged and safe.
You'll find 48 apartments and 146 private rooms, and some apartments have walk-in showers, in-unit laundry, private patios or balconies, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and everything's pretty much ready for you to move in, with utilities included and recent renovations making things easier to get around for folks who might need a bit more help. The campus is pet-friendly, and there's walking paths and nearby parks if you like going outside, plus lots of shared spaces indoors-like a library, exercise room, and recreation areas-where you can meet with others, read, or join in one of their daily social, educational, or entertaining activities aimed at keeping everyone involved and uplifted. For meals, there's a Café Catering and the Ecumen Store for snacks and essentials, and they handle things like light housekeeping and laundry, so you don't have to worry about chores unless you want to.
Staff is always on call, with 24-hour nursing care and help for everything from medication to dressing, bathing, and getting around, including skilled nursing if you need it. There's structured wellness programs, rehabilitation therapy, and support for those coming in for short stays or recovering from illness, and if you want to stay connected to your faith or get spiritual care they offer Christian care right on site. Security features include controlled building access, concierge staff, and smoke and carbon monoxide detection systems in all the units. There are also amenities like barber and beautician services, and you can invite friends or family to share private gathering spaces. Residents and visitors can take a virtual tour online to see what the apartments and common spaces look like ahead of time, and the community connects people through things like a Pen Pal Program that brings different generations together.
Ecumen Pathstone is proud of its community-centric atmosphere, where the goal is to help people of all backgrounds live full lives with energy and a sense of security, and they do things like memory care research and other care innovations to improve quality of life. Payment options are flexible, including Medicare, Medical Assistance, Veterans Benefits, private insurance, and private pay, so you've got choices. The campus has sister communities nearby, such as Ecumen Sand Prairie and Ecumen Prairie Hill, offering more Assisted Living and Memory Care if you need a different setting. U.S. News named it one of the Best Nursing Homes for 2019-20, and you'll often see residents, families, and team members working together to make sure everybody feels included and taken care of, with both long-term and short-term options available whenever needs change.
