Kenwood Place sits at 710 S Kenwood Avenue in Moose Lake and has a modern campus that opened back in 2001, so everything looks fairly up to date with common areas, dining rooms, lounges, sunrooms, and outdoor patios and gardens for residents to use. Folks can find driving directions easy enough, and there's a website at mooselakevillage.org that gives even more details if needed. The place offers several types of senior living options, including assisted living, skilled nursing, short-term rehab, memory care for people living with Alzheimer's and other dementia, and hospice care for those who need end-of-life support, and while they accept Medicaid and Medicare for financing, Kenwood Place isn't certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Instead, the facility holds state and local government licenses for Comprehensive Home Care in Minnesota, and they have surveys and inspections done by local departments like the Department of Aging or Veteran's Services.
The community designs its care to help each person keep as much independence as possible, focusing on wellness, plenty of activity, and a peaceful, home-like atmosphere, so residents can choose from roomy studio apartments or house-setting suites with private baths, walk-in showers, and kitchenettes, blinds or curtains on the windows, and washer and dryer units in each building. Rooms come either furnished or unfurnished and there's basic Wi-Fi, telephones, and climate controls. Meals are served in the dining room, and dietary needs-like for diabetes or allergies-can be managed by the kitchen staff. Snacks and drinks are always available, and staff take care of housekeeping, laundry, and changing linens each week, plus there's a barber or salon onsite along with spaces like an arts room for activities.
Nursing staff and personal care aides are on duty 24/7 to oversee medication management, bathing, dressing, transfers from bed to wheelchair, incontinence care, and looked after emergencies or urgent situations. Kenwood Place also provides long-term nursing care for complex health needs, short-term skilled nursing after a hospital stay, and physical, occupational, and speech therapies for residents who need help recovering or maintaining function, and they'll refer families to Medicare-certified home health agencies for in-home medical needs, even though Medicare payment isn't accepted directly for care services here. Staff sets up an initial healthcare assessment and individual care plan for each person, and they update it every month with vital sign checks. Each resident gets a personal pendant for urgency response, and emergency alert systems are in place throughout the property. There's extra help with transportation scheduling for medical appointments and nearby services in Moose Lake.
Residents can take part in spiritual care, devotional activities, movie nights, group classes, community-sponsored events, as well as social, spiritual, recreational, educational, and health programs. There's a community garden and walking paths for outdoor enjoyment. For those looking for outside resources, there are links to nearby hospitals, nursing homes, health agencies, and therapists, and access to Gateway Family Medical Clinic and Essentia Health-Moose Lake hospital for direct care or emergencies. Kenwood Place's staff cares for people at all stages, so transitions from one care level to another in the same community go smoothly. Laundry, dry cleaning, and light housekeeping services keep things tidy, and families can expect support with move-in arrangements and coordination. Nurse aides, LPNs, and RNs can find job opportunities onsite, and information on local caregiver salaries in Moose Lake gets updated, too. Kenwood Place tries to make daily life comfortable by giving residents lots of choices and support, while also making sure safety and healthcare always come first.
