Norris Square I was the first senior living community to open in Cottage Grove, and it sits near the town center where residents can enjoy nearby conveniences. Managed by Presbyterian Homes & Services, it offers a full range of living options like independent living, assisted living, enhanced assisted living, memory care, and long-term care all in one place, so people can stay as their needs change. There are spacious apartments with studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts, many of which come with fully equipped kitchens, private decks or patios, individual climate control, and in-home laundry options, and the apartments surround a central town area. Residents have access to common areas for group events, a bistro, chapel, exercise room, library, movie theater, hobby shop, wood shop, beauty and barber shop, secured memory care neighborhood called The Arbor, and a secured courtyard for outdoor enjoyment. The fitness center, fitness classes, trails near the Mississippi River, and a communal outdoor firepit let people keep active and enjoy time outside, and there's covered parking, garage parking, guest parking, storage lockers, mail services, and a business office for convenience. Norris Square I has wheelchair accessibility, a controlled access system, emergency response system, and secured units for those needing extra safety. A Campus Administrator, Care Center Administrator, and Housing Director help manage the daily operations, so it runs smoothly. Residents can join wellness programs, personal training, Tai Chi, chair yoga, worship services, Bible study groups, community gatherings, social events, volunteering, and outings off-campus. They also offer health and wellness services, such as nursing, doctor visits, medication help, laundry, housekeeping, personal care, transportation, rehabilitative services, home health care, hospice care, meals at home, and support for those in memory care or long-term skilled nursing. For dining, there's a community room with restaurant-style meals, guest dining options, and open spaces for casual gatherings. The Arbor memory care community has 18 secure units and provides personalized activities and care for people with memory loss. Norris Square I accepts Medicaid Waiver as a payment option and has private rooms. The facility also has brain-stimulating activities and services built for older adults, and residents can access a newsletter to keep informed about what's happening. Norris Square I doesn't say every detail about specific services or amenities, but it aims to create opportunities to enjoy life and stay connected in a friendly community.
