St. Clare Living Community of Mora-The Villag, also called Benedictine Living Community of Mora, sits at 110 N 7th St in Mora, Minnesota, and is part of Care Providers of Minnesota, which is a non-profit group connected to over 900 communities around the state, and they're also linked to the American Health Care Association and National Center for Assisted Living, so you can see they stay plugged into what's happening for seniors who need care and help. This place has been around for some time, and they cover a lot, offering assisted living, independent living, skilled nursing, memory care for people living with Alzheimer's and dementia, hospice, and even respite care for when caregivers need a short break. The community includes both a 35-bed assisted living setup and a larger 65-bed skilled nursing facility, so whether someone's looking for short-term rehab, long-term support, or just a safer spot where help is there if they need it, the staff try to cover those bases, and according to the last pieces of information, they provided over 12,000 days of assisted living care and more than 16,000 days of skilled nursing care during one year.
What stands out, and doesn't change much no matter the day, is the focus on compassion, kindness, and making folks feel like they belong, and that includes having a dedicated team of healthcare professionals who manage daily needs like medication, bathing, dressing, and providing meals that can fit special diets, and lots of chances for everyone to join in on activities or religious programs if that's important to them. The campus has a variety of things for residents to use-indoor common areas, a dining room with restaurant-style service, a small library, a fitness room, a garden and outdoor spaces, a beauty salon, a computer center, and areas for games or quiet reading, plus there's a dog park, hiking trails, sports fields, and spots for fishing and boating, which is a nice touch out here where people still like nature and fresh air when they get it. Apartments come with kitchenettes, private bathrooms, air conditioning, cable, and WiFi, and residents can expect regular housekeeping and linen services, so daily life can be a bit lighter and the focus stays on comfort and community.
Residents can get help with diabetic care, non-ambulatory care, and incontinence care, and transportation is provided for appointments or errands, which really comes in handy when driving's not so easy anymore. There are scheduled daily activities, including those run by the residents themselves or by the community, and the Life Enrichment Center nearby provides more opportunities to keep learning and staying social. The financial side shows St. Clare has over 160 employees and operates as a non-profit, supporting improvements for the broader community, with total assets of about $1.7 million and revenue over $9 million in the most recent period, so they're steady in how they run things, and contributions are tax-deductible if folks want to help. The place aims for a caring and safe environment, helping each person keep their independence as much as possible and offering support when it's needed, not more and not less. The website stclarelivingcommunity.org can tell more about their programs, but what matters most is that they work to make sure residents have both help and freedom, decent meals, quiet spaces, and ways to spend time with others, whether that's old friends or folks they just met after moving in.
