Aspen Grove Assisted Living sits in Chisholm, Minnesota, right there at 504 Iron Dr, and it'd be hard to miss with its mix of studios, one-bedroom suites, and communal living, all with safety features like grab bars, non-slip floors, and bathrooms that meet ADA standards, which sure helps folks who worry about falling or moving around safely, and the place allows pets so you see dogs and cats around sometimes, and there are nice outdoor porches and gardens where people like to sit or walk if the weather's up to it, and with a total of 31 licensed beds and a state license, you know it meets regulations. The staff stays awake and available round the clock if anyone needs help, and there's a 24-hour emergency call system in every room, so if something goes wrong, help's not far away, and nurses are on call, plus the aides can help with things like bathing, dressing, and bathroom trips, including feeding help by spoon if a resident needs it, even for those who need memory care, since they've specialized caregivers for people with dementia or Alzheimer's.
Meals are served in a community dining area, which is bright and gives room to socialize, and the kitchen can do special diets like diabetes meals or soft foods, and there's always a snack available if someone's hungry between meals, plus a bistro and a chef who handles requests. Housekeeping, laundry, and linen changes are included, so residents don't have to worry about cleaning or changing sheets, and rooms come fully furnished, with kitchenettes for folks who like to make their own tea or snack, and all utility bills are built in so there aren't surprise costs. They run daily health and fitness programs, offer arts and crafts, and throw birthday parties with a bit of extra fun, plus there are movie nights in their theatre room, computer lessons, a library for people who like to read, and a games room with things like bingo and cards, while the gardens and walking paths give some fresh air or a quiet seat.
Transportation's part of the deal, too, so residents get rides to appointments or outings, and visiting hours are pretty flexible, which helps families see their loved ones, and the staff encourages family involvement whenever they can. For medical needs, medication setup and reminders, monthly doctor visits, and help with transfers are standard, and there's even an on-site pharmacy, with care plans tailored for each person so needs don't go unnoticed.
Besides assisted living, memory care, and regular senior apartments, Aspen Grove Assisted Living also offers short-term respite care if someone's regular caregiver needs a break. Concerns about incontinence, special diets, or rehabilitation services are handled on-site with routines in place, and social calendars fill up with resident-run and community-sponsored activities, along with chapel services for anyone who wants them. A beauty salon and barber shop add some comfort, and common rooms like the Sunroom or Cozy Hearth Lounge give space to relax together. The place keeps a warm and friendly feeling, with staff and residents both saying hello and looking out for one another, and every part of Aspen Grove Assisted Living, from concierge services to security features and the 24-hour supervision, is set up to help seniors stay as active and independent as possible, while always having support nearby.
