Waverly Gardens

Waverly Gardens sits at 5919 Centerville Road in North Oaks, Minnesota, sheltered by ten acres of parkland with gardens and old trees, and you notice right away the buildings show an Old World Charm, kind of like English estates, with sweeping lawns and pretty views, and inside there are apartments and homes for independent living, assisted living, memory care, and long term care. They've got studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom places with leases month-to-month for folks 55 and older, and you find guest suites, a general store, garage parking with storage, wood shop, movie theater, library, and a heated pool, plus there's a fitness center, restaurant-style dining room, and chef-inspired meals that can be enjoyed in the dining room or taken to your apartment, and sometimes family or friends stay over in guest suites. In independent living, there's laundry in the apartment, parking included for some, and pets like dogs and cats are allowed with certain rules. For help, residents have housekeeping, maintenance, basic cable, Wi-Fi, business help, and a scheduled van for rides, while care options include skilled nursing, hospice care, assisted living, enhanced assisted living, and memory care for conditions like Alzheimer's, with dedicated staff and smaller memory care apartments where only twelve residents live together so staff can focus on individual needs. Folks who need help with non-ambulatory care, diabetic care, incontinence, or just everyday activities can get it, and they'll find well-trained aides in both residential care homes and home care. Waverly Gardens supports veterans by helping with VA benefits like Aid and Attendance, offers disaster recovery resources, and has spiritual care, so a campus pastor is there for support if needed. The community stays busy, hosting forums and ecumenical conferences, wellness classes, live music, reader's theater, daily games, movie nights, and award-winning activities run by staff who've got a reputation for being friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere seems warm and welcoming, with everyone being greeted when they come in or walk around. Members get benefits including a member directory and group purchasing, and residents can join in on community-sponsored programs and wellness initiatives. Amenities support senior life by making things easier and more enjoyable: beautiful common spaces, smoke-free buildings, a general store for what you need, a housekeeper, a business office, wireless internet, parking options, storage lockers, laundry and linen service, meals at home if you want them, and a response system for safety. There are transportation services for shopping or appointments. The place holds awards for activities, friendly staff, and care, but you'll also see day-to-day life where staff try to make things better where they can, and folks can enjoy gardens, architecture, and wellness programs like instructor-led classes, as well as resources for aging, health, and recovery when needed. Residents of Waverly Gardens can have a peaceful life with the support and care they need, while staying active in a friendly community that feels safe and comfortable day and night, with the facility open 24 hours, seven days a week.
