Rose Arbor and Wildflower Lodge sit together in Maple Grove, Minnesota, on 92nd Avenue North, and the first thing you'll notice is the Northwoods look, which gives the place a warm country feel with wooden architecture and lots of green, open land, and scenic forest views. These two communities share a campus and offer several living options, so seniors can find independent living for an active retirement, assisted living for a bit of help with daily tasks, and memory care for those living with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia. The property's set up so folks have easy access to trails for walking, peaceful gardens, and outdoor patio spots, which makes it easy to enjoy a sunny day or watch some birds, and there's a general store and even a woodworking shop, which is something you don't see every day.
Apartments come in different floor plans, including two-bedroom units that have walk-in storage rooms, full kitchens, closets, wall-to-wall flooring, and you control your own heat and cool air. Safety comes first, so all apartments and common areas have emergency systems, call buttons, and controlled access to keep folks safe and give families some peace of mind. There's no pets allowed, but there's plenty for people with hobbies -- from arts and crafts, woodworking, and movie nights, to social dining and regular clubs, plus weekly worship services both on and off site for folks who like to keep up with their faith. There's a barber and beauty salon right on site, and meals are served each day with flexible options, special diets, and snacks, as well as the option to have your meal brought right to your room if you're not up for the dining hall.
For transportation, you'll find free courtesy rides to appointments, shopping, or outings, and if you drive yourself, there's heated underground parking, which is a blessing in Minnesota winters. Staff cover personal care needs like bathing, getting dressed, grooming, medication help, and escorts or transfers, with licensed nurses on call 24/7, and in the memory care area, folks get extra protection to prevent wandering and help reduce confusion. The staff-to-resident ratio meets the state requirements, and care plans are made to fit each person, so everyone gets attention to their needs. The community also offers a short-term respite stay program for those who just need some time to recover or for caregivers needing a break.
There's a wellness and fitness center, classes like Tai Chi or yoga for balance and movement, plus education programs on health and safety, and regular checks for fall prevention. Recreation is a big part of everyday life, with birthday parties, holiday events, and even volunteer programs for residents wanting to stay involved. Housekeeping, laundry, and apartment maintenance are included, so you don't have to worry about chores. The community works closely with healthcare providers, including in-house MD services for those in assisted living and memory care, and supports therapies such as physical, occupational, and speech therapy.
Rose Arbor and Wildflower Lodge have served local families since 2001. They take Medicaid and offer all-inclusive rent options for those concerned about budgeting. Everything's laid out to help seniors feel at ease while staying active, social, and safe, and the setting's convenient for trips to medical offices, restaurants, or shopping around Maple Grove.
