Midway Care Center sits at 114 2nd St NE in Fosston, Minnesota, and you'll find it provides a pretty wide range of care for seniors, from independent living all the way to memory care and skilled nursing, plus there are assisted living services offered in both Fosston and Erskine, so that widens choices for folks looking for help that fits different needs. This place helps people with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia by giving round-the-clock supervision, special safety features to stop wandering, and activities that keep minds and bodies moving, and you'll see staff here know how to work with the challenges that come with dementia, giving help with getting dressed, bathing, and even eating if needed, whether that's hand-over-hand assistance or spoon feeding on days when that's called for.
People who have diabetes or trouble walking get support, too-there's diabetic care, fall prevention, and moving assistance for getting in and out of beds and wheelchairs, and staff check health often, keeping an eye out for any changes. You'll see a mixture of living spaces, like studios, shared apartments, and even smart apartment layouts, which gives some flexibility depending on what someone's up for, and most rooms have call buttons and balconies, which adds a sense of safety and choice. For daily life, residents don't have to worry much about being bored or feeling left out, with indoor common areas designed for visiting or joining a holiday party, arts and crafts class, or games in the entertainment room-plus, there are exercise sessions and plenty of activities right there onsite, and devotional activities, both in the building and offsite, for those who want spiritual connection.
Meals are provided, so nobody has to cook unless they want to, with snacks offered between meals, and there's a dining hall to meet in, along with some homey touches like a hair salon and massage therapy for comfort. Residents who need help with things like bathing, dressing, or grooming get it from the dedicated staff, and there's always someone around, day or night, for emergencies, unscheduled needs, or just a friendly ear. The Center offers free transportation for appointments or outings, so it's easier to get where you need to go, and it welcomes pets, letting folks keep some of that companionship from before they moved in. All these services-hospice care, respite stays, companion support, and non-medical help for those who want assisted living-are meant to foster a sense of comfort and community, making sure rising or changing needs get addressed without feeling like too much is changing all at once. The Center keeps some solid safety and health standards, with a team that develops personalized care plans and keeps up with routine health assessments, always aiming for a friendly and safe place to live.
