Suite Living of Forest Lake offers a smaller community where residents have 18 to 20 private suites, all on one floor so people can get around more easily and stay independent, and you'll find features like emergency alert systems, safety and security options such as a gated facility, and handicap accessibility that help folks feel comfortable getting where they need to go. The staff provides help around the clock, giving support with daily needs like bathing, dressing, medication reminders, and transfers when needed. The on-site team handles things like move-in coordination to help newcomers settle in, while housekeepers keep the place tidy and laundry services are available, so regular chores are handled for you. Meals are served on a schedule in a shared dining room, and there are special diets for people with allergies or diabetes made with quality ingredients to keep everyone healthy and happy, plus you can ask for other dietary changes too. Some units come with kitchenettes for those who like to prepare simple meals, and the community also provides meal preparation for those who'd rather leave the cooking to someone else.
Residents can join movie nights, use the computer room, or relax in the game room and community room for social activities, and the staff schedules activities aimed at keeping everyone mentally, physically, and emotionally active, with spiritual care and religious services for those who want them. You'll find furnished rooms, high-speed internet and cable in both private and common areas, and guest parking, which helps visitors come and go easily. Folks who need memory care for Alzheimer's or dementia live in a secure environment that prevents wandering and confusion, with staff paying attention to routines and offering activities that are easy to participate in. The care team treats every resident like family, focusing on whole-person care by getting to know each person's lifestyle, cultural background, spiritual preferences, and nutritional needs, which means they try to help everybody feel at home and respected.
People can choose from assisted living, memory care, independent living, hospice care, respite services, and even therapy like physical and occupational therapy offered right there, and health services can include in-home care if needed. Rent covers many of the services, with all-inclusive options available. The staff makes a point of being kind and helpful, and the general approach at Suite Living of Forest Lake aims to foster a caring, faith-filled place where residents' physical, social, and emotional well-being are supported. The facility allows tours and virtual tours for those who would like to see daily life and learn how the community operates. The building has obtained awards like Best of Senior Living in recognition of its standards of care, though it's worth noting that state licensing is still pending at this particular location. There are 18 other Suite Living communities in the Twin Cities, each designed to offer a family-like atmosphere and compassionate care for seniors.
