Park View Adult Day Center sits along Buffalo Lake, near Sturges Park and close to downtown Buffalo, Minnesota, making it easy for people to visit or head into town if needed, and they've been around for over eighty years as part of the Evangelical Free Church and Cassia, so folks around here know about them being a faith-based nonprofit. The place has a wide range of services, with a continuum of care for seniors whether someone needs independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, rehabilitation, home care, or more hands-on support as care needs change, so as people age and health needs shift, there are resources available on site, and if someone needs help only during the day, the Adult Day Center welcomes adults for daytime assistance, meals, and activities. There's a community fee of $500, plus monthly fees that vary-medium care needs cost around $740 a month while higher care needs cost about $1,000, and if someone else joins in the same apartment, the second person fee is $650 each month, and as for apartments, Park View offers studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and semi-private layouts, with a one-bedroom running about $2,650 monthly and a two-bedroom roughly $3,150 monthly, and the suites and living areas are well-designed with things like wheelchair accessible showers, full tubs, and emergency call systems to help keep people safe.
Meals are provided, so residents don't need to worry about cooking much, and there's a dining program that helps take the daily load off for people who want to relax, and a beauty salon and onsite barber shop offers extra comfort for people who want to look after themselves without traveling far, and you'll find both indoor lounges and sunrooms as well as gardens and outdoor patios for relaxing or visiting with friends, so folks looking to get outside or chat in a shared space have options. There's a chapel for devotional services and spiritual gatherings, along with an active schedule of on-site and off-site activities, like clubs, classes, and events, and staff support social engagement to reduce loneliness, and they allow pets too, which can help some people feel more at home. Nurses are on staff, and there's 24-hour awake staff plus various visiting professionals like podiatrists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech therapists, and they help folks who need diabetic care, incontinence care, rehabilitation after injury or illness, or ongoing high-acuity support, and the facility is set up for memory care, with special programs for those living with Alzheimer's disease or dementia, including cognitive games and monitored safety units.
Park View also provides hospice care, respite stays for short-term help, and long-term care for people needing more support, and there's a minimum resident age of 55 years, so the community is focused on older adults and has systems in place for a calm and secure environment, and if someone needs non-ambulatory care, home care services, or rehabilitation therapies, these are available without having to leave the campus, and there's both resident parking and complimentary transportation for getting to appointments or outings around town. Amenities like meal services, emergency call systems, aging-in-place features, and a smoke-free indoor policy help keep folks safe and supported, and the community aims to help each person stay as independent as possible with a program tailored to their individual needs. A proprietary scoring system called My Caring Plan is used for reviews, and the average community rating is 9 out of 10, so most families and residents seem satisfied with the services, and the place is recognized for its hospitality, focus on personal care, and flexible resources as health needs change. Park View is also associated with Park View Care Center in Brownwood, Texas, which broadens its reach and experience, and for those who value scheduled activities, regular meals, wellness support, and a friendly setting where staff are always around to help, this facility offers a reliable and established spot right along the lake.
