Pillsbury Board and Care Home sits on Pillsbury Avenue South in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and has been around since the mid-1970s, providing care mostly for seniors who need some help but don't need the level of nursing care you'd get in a hospital. The facility has 22 certified beds and offers both private and shared rooms, like studios, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and semi-private options, and you'll find indoor common areas where folks can gather, play games, or join activities that staff organize both on-site and off-site. Residents receive assisted living care for daily activities, memory care if needed, respite care when families need a break, and there are options for independent living for those who want some help but are still able to manage on their own.
There's always staff on hand, day and night, to help with emergencies, moving between bed and wheelchairs, and providing support with meals, medication, and personal care, and specialized diabetic care, non-ambulatory care, and incontinence care can be arranged for those who need it. The home provides services like nursing, activities staff, social work, housekeeping, and food service, although many healthcare services such as x-rays, dental, lab work, pharmacy, and therapy are provided by providers off-site. Meals are included, and everyone can expect regular activities-including devotional gatherings and community events-plus the chance to join an organized resident group, and there's a focus on keeping things social and active.
Pillsbury Board and Care Home operates under Medicaid and accepts payment through private pay, veterans' benefits, Social Security, and insurance, with a range of fees depending on the level of care and type of room, and it usually serves elderly residents but doesn't specify a minimum age. The building is classified as both an assisted living and Board & Care Home and is located in a neighborhood close to cafes, parks, doctors, pharmacies, and hospitals. It's seen a couple of changes in ownership over the years and follows all current safety and health rules, with some waivers in place for room size and nurse staffing, and as an older, smaller community, it tries to keep things feeling homey and supportive without too much fuss.
