Good Sam Heritage Grove is a licensed assisted living community nestled in a peaceful area of East Grand Forks, Minnesota, offering senior living on a beautifully landscaped campus. The community is composed of three interconnected buildings: Heritage Maples, Heritage Oaks, and Heritage Pines, each providing a range of senior living options to meet individual preferences and needs. The campus is positioned conveniently close to local shopping, golf courses, restaurants, and scenic waterfront parks and trails, including the gardens at Lincoln Drive Park. Residents also benefit from being just minutes away from local clinics, supporting their ongoing health and well-being.
At Heritage Grove, the dedicated staff is committed to enhancing residents’ lives through joy, comfort, and comprehensive care tailored to body, mind, and spirit. The emphasis is on fostering independence while ensuring all the comforts and supports needed for relaxed, maintenance-free living. Residents can enjoy a maintenance-free lifestyle without extra costs, with many services and amenities included as part of their housing fees. The community’s design encourages social interaction and engagement, featuring inviting shared spaces such as a grand dining room, multiple parlors, a chapel for devotions and meetings, a comfortable library with hundreds of books, and an outdoor pavilion—the Whicker pavilion—for gatherings and relaxation.
Each building within Heritage Grove offers distinct living arrangements. Heritage Maples presents spacious one- and two-bedroom apartments—some with two bathrooms—ranging from 690 to 995 square feet. These apartments feature full kitchens, bay windows, ample closet space, and bathroom safety enhancements such as handrails and shower seats. Heritage Oaks provides similar comforts with one- and two-bedroom apartments between 652 and 835 square feet, also including full kitchens and safety features. Heritage Pines caters to those seeking cozier accommodations, with studio and one-bedroom apartments ranging from 380 to 550 square feet, each equipped with a kitchenette, abundant storage, and accessible bathrooms.
Heritage Grove offers a wealth of opportunities for recreational and social activities. Residents can gather in community lounges for games, read the morning paper in the parlor, host meals with friends in the dining room, or maintain an active lifestyle at the fully outfitted wellness center. In addition to these amenities, residents enjoy the freedom to personalize their living space, such as adding birdfeeders outside their windows or creating cozy reading nooks in their favorite corners.
In times when caregivers need a break or families are exploring senior living options, Heritage Grove provides respite care for periods ranging from five to thirty days. These short-term stays offer 24-hour care, nutritious meals, and full access to the community’s amenities, supporting rest and recovery for both caregivers and their loved ones. Respite care also serves as a practical trial period for families considering a transition to long-term assisted living, ensuring peace of mind and continuity of high-quality care.
The overall mission at Good Sam Heritage Grove is to create a true sense of home and community where every resident feels comfortable, engaged, and respected. Whether participating in campus events, enjoying the outdoors, or relaxing in private accommodations, residents find numerous opportunities for enrichment, companionship, and wellness. Good Sam Heritage Grove stands as a welcoming and vibrant community, thoughtfully designed to meet the changing needs and preferences of seniors seeking a fulfilling and supportive retirement lifestyle.
