The Estates at Excelsior sits in a neighborhood right off HWY 7 in Excelsior, MN, and has space for up to 45 residents, with private or semi-private furnished rooms that have cable TV, telephone, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and private bathrooms, and some rooms come with kitchenettes. Monarch Healthcare Management operates this community, which focuses on providing care that centers on residents, tenants, and families while also wanting to change how healthcare is delivered. The staff includes Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, Nursing Assistants, Cooks, and Dietary Aides, with someone always there for residents if they need anything day or night. The place has assisted living to help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, medication management, and transfers, and it also has specialized memory care for people living with dementia, with a secure setting that includes Wanderguard safety features and round-the-clock supervision.
Rehabilitation services, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and wound care are all available, and care can be short-term for people recovering from surgery or illness or long-term if someone needs ongoing help. The community supports both independent living and continuing care retirement community (CCRC) needs, making room for a variety of care styles and changing levels of health. Amenities on-site include a dining room with meals made by a professional chef who can handle special diets like diabetes and allergies, and there's all-day dining options, so meals fit different routines. Residents can join in activities like daily programs, movie nights, music, arts and crafts including art classes, resident-run events, spiritual services, and outdoor activities, with paths, gardens, a fitness room, library, and even a movie theater all in the mix. There's a spa/wellness room too, and the staff encourages everyone to get involved.
Housekeeping, laundry, move-in help, and transportation make it easier for residents and their families, while a 24-hour call system offers safety, alongside other security features. The Estates at Excelsior makes sure residents can keep as much independence as they can while getting the daily support and health care they might need, and the staff forms close bonds with those living there, which helps with feeling comfortable and at home every day.
