Barnes Care: Residence 2

Barnes Care: Residence 2 offers assisted living with a focus on memory care, so folks with Alzheimer's and dementia live in a safe place that helps them stay engaged. The building's secure, and staff stay awake around the clock, offering things like medication help, diabetes care, wound care, and even incontinence and catheter care when needed, plus there's RN and LPN care and a nurse practitioner right on site. Residents get personal help with daily needs such as bathing, dressing, moving from place to place, transfers, and meals-three homemade ones each day plus snacks-served in a dining room that looks out on pretty gardens and offers allergy-friendly and diabetic meals. The community features several small houses to give a cozy feel, and each person can have a private room, with private bathrooms available, plus a call pendant and emergency alert system for extra peace of mind, and rooms come furnished and have their own phones. Activities go on all the time-movie nights, art, baking, bus tours, exercise groups, garden walks, outings to places like the zoo, music and sing-alongs, and family gatherings, and there's both an activity coordinator and lots of community-sponsored events. Common spaces are comfy, including big sunrooms and fireplaces, and there's a beauty salon, indoor walking spaces, and garden plots for residents who like growing things. The staff prides themselves on creating a home-like setting, and many people soon feel part of the family-not just with staff but also with neighbors, and the team coordinates transportation for getting to appointments or heading out for errands. Laundry, dry cleaning, and housekeeping are handled for you, and move-in help gets new folks settled. End-of-life care is offered in partnership with St. Croix Hospice, so families know their loved ones can get support during hard times. Barnes Care: Residence 2 emphasizes steady support and comfort, giving folks a reliable, warm place to live when they need some extra help.
