Park View Senior Health & Living Health Care Center sits right next to Buffalo Lake in Buffalo, Minnesota, offering a quiet setting close to Sturges Park and a few blocks from downtown. The community provides many choices for living and care, with services ranging from independent and assisted living to memory care, skilled nursing, and even hospice. The center has more than 120 beds for skilled nursing care and offers both short-term rehab and long-term stays, so someone can recover and go home or move in for more support if needed. There's an adult day center for people who live at home but benefit from daytime help or social time, and staff are known for being friendly, joyful, and patient, including people like Nurse Jen who make a difference with their care.
Residents might enjoy organized transportation for trips to local restaurants, attractions, and nearby parks, or spend time in the gardens, on the patio, or relaxing in a sunroom or lounge. The apartments and suites are built for comfort, and some have full kitchens so people can keep cooking if they like, but there are also three nutritious, chef-prepared meals every day served in the dining room. There are wellness programs, fitness centers focused on balance and movement, a whirlpool spa room, as well as a library for quiet reading or learning. The in-house beauty salon and barber shop provide personal care right on site, and the activities calendar offers something different every day-clubs, Bible studies, men's groups, entertainment, spiritual activities, and educational seminars.
Park View offers health care services around the clock, including skilled nursing, help with daily needs like dressing or taking medicine, therapies such as physical and speech therapy, and extra support for people with diabetes, incontinence, or mobility problems. The memory care section uses special routines and layouts to help reduce confusion and encourages residents to stay engaged, all with staff who have been trained to support those with Alzheimer's or dementia. Emergency call systems and secured building entry promote safety and peace of mind for residents and families.
There are several places of worship, hospitals, pharmacies, doctors, and restaurants right nearby, so families don't have to go far for anything important. Both the staff and the environment at Park View focus on supporting each person's abilities and independence for as long as possible while adjusting care as needs change over time. The community is part of Elim Care, which specializes in helping seniors and their families find resources and solutions for long-term care. Overall, Park View stands out for its active daily life, lakeside location, and careful attention to a wide range of health and living needs. Reviews mention a positive atmosphere, dedicated caregivers, and the feeling of a welcoming, helpful community.
