Eastwood Senior Living sits at 170 Valhalla Circle in Mora, MN, and has served seniors since 2010. The community has assisted living, memory care, independent living, and nursing home services all on one campus, with a wing set aside for memory care. The staff can help with daily activities, including bathing, dressing, transfers, and medication management, and they're always available if there's an emergency, whether day or night. People with Alzheimer's, dementia, or mild cognitive impairment get support in a memory care neighborhood with staff trained using the EduCare On-Demand Dementia Series, which means they're familiar with the special needs of people with memory loss and follow a program recognized by the Alzheimer's Association® Curriculum Review.
Residents have choices between different levels of care, and the fees reflect high, medium, or low care needs. Payments can come from private pay, Social Security, veterans' benefits, or commercial insurance. There are specific fees, like a community fee, a respite fee, a buy-in fee, and a care needs fee, depending on what someone needs. Eastwood also has a dementia waiver program for certain residents.
Meals are cooked each day, and the dining room lets people choose when and what they'd like, with meals for those with diabetes or allergies as needed. The building has studio rooms with telephone access and basic furnishings, housekeeping, laundry, and dry cleaning services. There's a 24-hour emergency alert system for safety, plus wheelchair access and help for those who can't get around on their own.
Indoor spaces include sitting rooms, a dining room, a garden, library, arts room, walking paths, and a barber or salon. There are activities every day-on-site or offsite-including movie nights, devotional gatherings, social activities, and chances for residents to start their own groups. People can get help with diabetes care, incontinence care, or non-ambulatory care, and there's medication management.
