Chi Health At Home III sits at 131 8th Street South, Suite 1, in Albany, MN, and serves the surrounding area with a wide range of care and medical services for seniors and others who need help. This is an assisted living facility and a Continuing Care Retirement Community, or CCRC, which means folks can move between levels of care as their needs change, whether it's independent living, assisted living, memory care, nursing home care, or home health services, and the place does keep about 19 of its 76 nursing beds open as of June 2025, which gives a bit of flexibility for new residents. The community is medium-sized, with room for about 21 residents, offering help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, transferring, and medicine, always keeping licensed nurses and staff handy around the clock for safety, thanks to a 24-hour call alert system, which is something you notice when getting to know the place.
The team at Chi Health At Home III gives care for those living with dementia or memory needs, with a specialized memory care program, plus regular help with medications, coordination with healthcare providers, and mental wellness support, which can bring some relief to families. Residents can use home care, palliative care, hospice care, and home health support, especially when they're living with serious illness or at the end of life, and families can get help too, since they offer a free bereavement program and spiritual care from a chaplain, as well as visits from hospice aides, skilled nurses, and massage therapists. It's not all medical, though, because the community provides housekeeping, linen services, planned activities, devotional events, and community-sponsored get-togethers, plus they help folks get to medical appointments and wherever else they need to go. They've got rooms furnished with kitchenettes, telephones, cable TV, fast Wi-Fi, and the community itself has a community room, arts room, walking paths, gardens, a beauty salon, and spaces to relax outdoors, not to mention laundry and regular meal preparations in a shared dining setting.
All care is Medicare and Medicaid certified, so residents with those plans find coverage for many things, including durable medical equipment like oxygen or wheelchairs, and the facility is nonprofit, with CMS certification as a Home Health Agency and a long record of meeting quality standards. When people need transitional or respite care-the kind where you stay temporarily before going home or moving into longer-term care-they can arrange that too, and they help with moving in and getting settled. They're careful with medicine and lab work, keeping up with medical records, and even track lots of lab information, which helps make care more precise. Staff cover a wide territory, including Avon, Freeport, Sauk Centre, Holdingford, Melrose, and Paynesville, so folks in rural spots can get services at home. The staff offers nursing, caregiving, and therapy jobs, including CNAs, LPNs, and RNs, always working as a team to give safe, respectful care whether someone lives in the community or gets help at home, and they don't stop working with families after a loved one passes, because their bereavement programs and support groups keep helping, aiming to bring comfort during hard times.
