Divine Providence Community Home

Divine Providence Community Home sits at 700 3rd Avenue Northwest in Sleepy Eye, Minnesota, overlooking Lake Sleepy Eye, and the Daughters of St. Mary of Providence run it as a non-profit home for seniors. The place has 50 skilled nursing beds and offers a wide range of care like memory care for people with cognitive issues, rehabilitation services, and medication management. They also help with daily living needs and offer respite care. Experienced nurses, the Sisters living in the attached convent, and about 80 staff members give care around the clock, every day of the week. Divine Providence Community Home also houses Lake Villa Maria, which has 20 independent living apartments ranging from efficiencies to two-bedroom units, so residents who don't need as much help can live more independently but still be close to needed support. The staff uses the Nursa mobile app to help manage shifts and keep everything running smoothly. The community feels warm and nurturing and they're committed to Christian care with daily mass, rosary, adoration, and benediction, and you'll often hear prayer or see spiritual practices as a part of daily life since four resident Sisters play a big role. Residents can take part in group activities, social events, outdoor gardening, time in family gathering spaces, and there are dining menus designed for nutrition and variety, with special attention paid to well-being and comfort. The home includes gardens, guest rooms, easy access to transportation, a calendar full of daily activities, and plenty of chances to volunteer, like through the Ladies' Auxiliary. There's a process for checking providers through Providence Health Plan and the directory stays current, but the facility currently isn't accepting new patients. Staff speak English, and care types include physical, occupational, and speech therapy, as well as skilled nursing. The goal here is to build a sense of family, support independence, and enhance everyone's quality of life with honest, compassionate care, and you'll find that they try to enrich lives through simple, meaningful services and strong community bonds, making it, as folks say, a great place to live.
