Valley View Estates Assisted Living sits at 1104 4th Ave NE in Long Prairie, MN, and since opening in 1999, the place has served seniors from the area with a long-standing reputation for quality care, and you'll notice second-generation family members coming here because they remember the good experiences their loved ones had. Folks will find private, unfurnished studio or one-bedroom apartments, each with its own private bathroom and sit-down shower, with meals served in the community dining room instead of having kitchenettes in the units, and you get utilities included in your rent except for cable and phone, which tends to make things easier for everyone. The staff here stays around the clock, with 24-hour awake staff, an "on-call" RN always available, and an in-house call system to get someone's attention if you need it, and there's general healthcare support for things like medication management, incontinence, non-ambulatory needs, or diabetic care, plus personal assistance with bathing, dressing, or getting around each day.
You also get housekeeping and laundry services every week, so you don't have to worry about chores piling up, and they see to all your meals with a meal program that provides three home-cooked meals a day plus snacks from a beverage and snack bar, making sure nutrition gets taken care of. Residents can meet in the cozy living room, visit with each other in indoor common areas, or relax in a sunroom that's used for church services and other celebrations, and there's a whirlpool tub room and a beauty shop right in the building. The staff puts a big focus on residents' hobbies and outdoor relaxation, with plenty of chances for conversation, and they offer on-site activities, devotional programs, community events, and even take folks out for off-site activities when they can. Transportation's available for medical or social appointments in town, and parking's covered for those who need it.
Respite care services help families who need short-term support, and they aim to make every resident feel right at home, treating everyone with dignity and respect, and giving care that's tailored to the individual's needs. You won't find memory care services anymore, but for those seeking assisted living, Valley View Estates stays committed to enhancing quality of life, with warm home-cooked meals, a safe environment, and a community where staff try to make it easy to settle in and enjoy each day, whether that means sitting in the sunroom, joining in an activity, or simply relaxing with friends and neighbors.
