Brookview Cottage, Inc. is a small, family owned senior care facility in Burnsville, Minnesota, with 6 licensed beds, and the management team runs things with attention to the details that matter when you're helping older adults. This community offers assisted living, independent living, memory care, and something called continuing care, which means folks can stay as their needs change over time, and they even have licensed Comprehensive Home Care services in Minnesota, some of which the city or state government watches over. The apartments are spacious and have plenty of natural light, some with balconies, and there are features like a pet spa, special pet areas with baths, gardens, and walking paths outside for fresh air, which the residents seem to enjoy. Inside, you'll find community rooms, a dining room, activity spaces, and a library for quiet moments, and the place feels homey with private apartments. Residents can bring pets and have support for them.
For those who need more care, they have a focus on memory care, meaning they help folks with dementia or other memory problems with services that fit both people who need just a little help and those who need more supervision day and night, and a full-time registered nurse with over 15 years of geriatric and hospice experience oversees medication and medical care, helping out with chronic illnesses too. Residents get help with bathing, dressing, and moving around as needed, and they're watched over 24 hours a day for safety, and the staff believes in something they call "Person Centered Care," which just means they let residents make choices as much as possible and don't take away their independence unless it's needed, and there's an emergency alert system in case something goes wrong.
The meals are prepared in-house, and they can handle special diets, and laundry and housekeeping are part of the deal, with regular cleaning and personal laundry included, so folks don't have to worry about chores. Help with transportation is available, so they'll take people to medical appointments and get them into community-sponsored events, which helps keep everyone social and active instead of sitting alone. Physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech, respiratory therapy, and hospice are all possible here, though sometimes outside agencies come in to provide these services. Diabetics may be accepted after the on-site nurse takes a look at individual needs, and medication management is part of what they offer. They have well-cared-for appliances and help people move in, aiming for as easy a start as possible for both seniors and their families.
There is coordination for higher-level care with outside healthcare providers if someone needs it, and for those who need nursing home level of care, this can sometimes be arranged, though it's not a nursing home itself. Apartments can be furnished upon request, and some assisted living spaces even offer a kitchenette, making it more like living at home. Brookview Cottage, Inc. promotes independence, helps people enjoy better quality of life, and aims to give peace of mind to families, all within a supportive neighborhood in the Burnsville area.
The Minnesota Department of Health lists this provider and, as of now, there aren't any reported complaints or survey issues on file. Brookview Cottage, Inc. doesn't always accept Medicare unless certified, so checking ahead may be needed. The facility offers elder care with specialized types such as help for dementia and long-term care that usually costs less than a nursing home, keeping things simple and supportive for people as they age.
