Stephen's Residence in Minnetonka, MN, offers a lot of different care options for seniors, which can be helpful if someone's needs change over time or if family wants to avoid moving their loved one again and again because here you'll find independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, hospice, adult daycare, respite care, and residential care homes all under the same network. The place aims to keep things comfortable and home-like, with rooms that are clean and free of smells, plenty of home-cooked meals, beds that get fresh sheets, laundry done, and a team that helps with bathing, dressing, medication, and moving around, and the staff gets to know what each resident likes and dislikes, which helps everyone feel more at ease.
For folks who need extra help, including those living with dementia or Alzheimer's, there's a secure memory care area with special programs to reduce confusion, prevent wandering, and support mental wellness, and there are 24-hour supervision and call systems too. People get assistance with daily routines, plus nurses provide wound care, diabetes support, medication management, and high-acuity care, and there's coordination with doctors and specialists. There are gardens for people who like being outside, spaces for small gatherings or group enrichment, a dining room that serves kosher and vegetarian dishes, accessible showers, private or semi-private rooms, and options for studio or one-bedroom layouts, all at a flat monthly cost.
Social activities, garden projects, and outings happen regularly, so people don't have to sit in their rooms all day, and some folks enjoy helping in the garden or kitchen, which keeps things lively. Residents have access to beauty services, transportation to get to appointments or the hair salon, cable TV and Wi-Fi, and indoor and outdoor shared areas. Even though the facility has a lot of services-rehab, physical therapy, short stays for family breaks (respite), and more-it still keeps a small, residential feel, especially in the board and care homes within quiet neighborhoods, where caregivers focus on a handful of residents and build real relationships.
Epiphany Care Homes, which runs Stephen's Residence, says they put compassion and quality first, and families who use their Senior Living Advisor often mention the caring staff and the warm, family-like approach in reviews, giving an average rating of 4.6 stars with thousands responding. The community tries to create a relaxed and engaging setting, where people aren't rushed and where it's easy for everyone to feel like part of the group. They offer flexible support in independent living, too, so you can get help only if you want it, making it easier for seniors to stay active and connected as long as possible. Staff speak English and stay attentive, focusing on what makes each person comfortable and happy day by day.
