Signe Burckhardt Manor sits at 2533 1st Ave S in Minneapolis and operates as a nursing home and senior living facility that offers extended-stay care for older adults with different needs and abilities, and you'll find folks living here who might need help with daily tasks or just want the chance to live with more support, and they do have memory care, independent living, and assisted living services too. The place holds 42 units, most of them one-bedroom apartments, and they let people bring their own furniture, so there's a bit of comfort and familiarity, and with a staff available 24 hours, you'll know someone's always around if you need help or in case there's an emergency. The community collects rent based on 30% of a resident's income with affordable-subsidized housing since it's part of the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority, so folks with limited incomes can still get housing that's safe and clean, and they offer support and programs tied to rent assistance as well.
Meals are served in a comfortable dining room with options to meet dietary needs, and the staff help with personal care, medication management, and housekeeping so residents don't have to worry about cleaning or cooking all the time, and laundry's also available right inside the building which makes life easier. Residents can join regular events, clubs, social activities, and spiritual services held off-site, keeping things lively and helping people find friends, and they've got indoor common areas for folks to sit and talk, as well as a community room where residents gather for games or just to share a meal. There's a pet policy letting residents keep small pets under 25 pounds for a $75 deposit, which can help bring a little joy and comfort for people who like animals.
You'll see vans come and go for scheduled transportation, and the building's close to transit hubs and all sorts of places folks might need-grocery stores, cafes, pharmacies, hospitals, parks, and even places of worship, so people can get out and about or get medical care without much hassle. The facility's working on some renovations but keeps everything clean and welcoming, and the staff and residents have positive bonds so the community feels warm instead of lonely. Different levels of care are available, including ambulatory help, diabetic care, and a quick response system for emergencies, plus there are independent and semi-private room options, so people can choose what fits best for them or their partners. It comes with the support of Augustana Care and offers guidance from senior living advisors for families who need help making decisions.
Signe Burckhardt Manor has on-site staff around the clock, and basic help like transferring between bed and wheelchair or checking on insulin is part of the care, so people with all sorts of needs can find a place here, and activities are meant to keep everyone engaged without feeling forced or overwhelming, just a steady schedule of things to do, meals to share, and places to gather, all making the building one that tries to be sturdy and safe for seniors who need a little more support or just a friendly setting as they age.
