The Lodge on Summit Oaks sits about 15 minutes south of Minneapolis, and you'll find it on a quiet cul-de-sac, with nice views of Lake Alimagnet, ball fields, and wildlife parkland that you can see from the family room, deck, and patio. The lodge has 14 private bedrooms, all warmly furnished, each with a specialized hospital bed for comfort and safety. Residents use large central dining and sitting rooms that feel cheerful and open, and there are informal seating areas where families, friends, and residents can visit or relax together. You'll notice the wraparound porch with rocking chairs, walkways around wildlife ponds, and plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors.
The Lodge on Summit Oaks offers private spaces that allow people to have their own room, with some rooms that even have a kitchenette for added privacy and independence. The place is set up for people with different needs, offering general care, complex care, disability support, hospice, memory and dementia care, mental health services, and respite care, and on-site physician services are available. A skilled, multi-disciplined care team is here, including community engagement specialists who can help people with a wide range of medical or personal care needs. Nurses are on-site or available 24 hours a day, and the staff stays awake around the clock. They're used to caring for residents with higher physical needs or who are on hospice or need palliative care, and they work with residents' own doctors and social workers to keep things consistent.
Family members can come and go as they wish because the staff makes sure each person gets the help they need, whether that's help with daily living, health care, comfort care, or just someone friendly to check in. The Lodge on Summit Oaks has an easy-going, homelike feel with modern touches and plenty of room to visit, gather, or have a quiet moment while still being close to coffee shops, malls, and other city conveniences.

Each room and shared space is designed to help people feel comfortable and well cared for, with special attention to safety, independence, and keeping life as normal as possible.
