GracePointe Crossing

GracePointe Crossing sits as a senior care community managed by Presbyterian Homes & Services, serving those 55 and older with a mix of independent living, assisted living, memory care, and long-term care apartment homes, and you'll find Mill Ridge Terrace senior apartments just east of the Rum River, while the campus itself has a redeveloped main center and a new town center meant to give folks more options for activities and gathering, and you'll notice there are also 50 more senior apartments now that help connect the assisted living and memory care areas together in one spot, making it easier for people to get what they need day to day. Residents pick from independent living townhomes or apartments, with options for studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom floorplans, some with dens and all with in-unit laundry, and there are also 40 independent living units across one or two floors, while assisted living offers 42 units on two floors along with studio, one-bedroom, and larger layouts, some with tea kitchens and accessible bathrooms, and folks in assisted living get help with health monitoring and personal care, restaurant-style dining, escorts to meals or activities for their first five days to help them get settled in, and a daily wellness program that includes fitness classes, brain games, and chair yoga, along with round-the-clock staff and a housing director who keeps an eye on things for everyone's safety. Memory care residents get more specialized attention with trained staff, structured brain-boosting activities, and personalized health monitoring, and while this area is smaller, with space for only 19 people in private or semi-private suites, it does provide higher levels of late-stage memory care and support for those with dementia, and assisted living carries a second person fee and a security deposit, plus meals are included for some but more can be added at an extra cost. Everyday services for all include housekeeping, laundry or linen service, a response system for emergencies, on-site maintenance, and scheduled van transportation, and if you want to park, you'll need to call the facility, but they do list apartment parking at about $55 a month, and pets like dogs and cats are welcome with a small deposit. The food here is made by chefs and meal planners, served with flexible hours in the bistro or main dining room, and you can invite guests for dining and stayovers if needed, and there's a newly built movie theater, library, fitness center, indoor and outdoor common areas, a pool, general store, beauty salon, and regular faith-based and social activities, with staff who aim to maintain comfort and dignity for everyone here, whether they're enjoying cards and bingo, joining a Bible study, or just catching up on the resident newsletter. GracePointe Crossing does have skilled nursing, long-term care, diabetic, and incontinence care, as well as non-ambulatory care and transitional care if someone's recovering or in-between needs, and there's a campus administrator, along with an HR director, to make sure operations and staffing meet the needs of those living here. For those looking for community, there are group activities, wellness events, spiritual care, social programs, volunteer spots, and opportunities for friendships to form, all on a month-to-month lease so folks don't have to lock in longer than they want, in what many call a small-town setting.
