York Gardens

York Gardens sits in the Edinborough neighborhood of Edina, MN, offering a selection of studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and one-bedroom plus den apartments meant for seniors who value privacy and comfort, and you'll find both single and semi-private units here, so if you'd rather have your own space or share with someone, the option's up to you, and there are even enhanced care suites for those needing more help, like with complex health needs, and you'll see they provide care services as folks need them, so you can add or remove support as your needs change. The building has handicap access, a covered entrance, heated underground parking, and spots for residents, making things easier for getting in and out, and while the grounds aren't overflowing with features, folks mention the home-like feel, friendly community, walking paths, outdoor patios, and gardens that let people get outside when the weather's nice. There's a fitness center with wellness classes, an on-site salon and spa, help with haircuts and barber services, and even a small theater for movies, plus you've got laundry and housekeeping for linens and clothing, with fresh sheets and towels always on hand. Meals come from a professional chef, and they serve them in the dining room restaurant-style, with options including low or no sodium, and guests can join, or meals come as room service if that suits someone better. Staff cover the place round the clock, with a registered nurse on for 40 hours a week, and always on call, so you'll get help with things like medication management, diabetes care, non-ambulatory and incontinence support, memory care for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, and just general assisted living for everyday needs. You'll find a list of activity choices, some happening off-site, and the place connects by walkway to the 7500 York senior co-op, so it makes it easy for folks to stay part of a bigger community, and the building itself is considered fairly new, with attractive grounds, all those usual clean facilities, and a culture where folks mention everyone's friendly, helpful, and joyful, even if, like any place, it's not perfect either. Residents have access to Wi-Fi and high-speed internet, enjoy a steady round of community events, and can pick different service plans like Independence Plus, Assisted Living, Memory Care, or their Enhanced Care suites, so you'll find options for seniors wanting more independence or who need a lot of extra help, and, if someone ever just needs a break, respite care is available too. Legal protections cover housing and employment discrimination with respect to gender identity, orientation, and source of income, but there's no public info about pets, utility coverage, special features, or whether it's currently taking new residents since it's off-market, and while you can find comfort and help here for many needs, details on some building extras like pools or barbecues just aren't mentioned.
