Woodlake at New Hope is a senior living community in New Hope, Minnesota, that's been around for a while and serves as the flagship community for Saint Therese of New Hope, which started in 1968, and you can feel that they've put thought into all sorts of care levels, from independent living to assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, home health care, and even hospice and palliative services, so it's clear they try to meet different needs as folks age, and they're known for their compassionate, patient staff, including a Fitness Specialist/COTA, a Licensed Nursing Home Administrator, a Licensed Health Services Executive, and a Business Office Manager, which means there's always someone around who knows what they're doing. The entire company has about 201-500 employees, and while they're private, they've built a good reputation with awards for Best Meals and Dining, Best Activities, and Most Friendly, so people seem to like the meals and enjoy the things they've set up to do. You'll find special parts in the community, like a healing garden and two chapels that anyone can use for spiritual needs, plus manicured gardens, walking paths, an outdoor patio, and easy handicap accessibility, so there's room to relax, walk outside, or join group activities, and if you need to get somewhere, there's transportation and parking, and Wi-Fi if you want to stay connected. Residents can choose from independent living, assisted living, and memory care apartments, and there's a residential care home setting if you need daily help with things like bathing or dressing; for those living at home nearby, trained aides come out to help with non-medical needs and companionship. Home health care is also available for more advanced needs.
For folks needing assisted living, there are up to six service levels, chosen by a Registered Nurse during regular assessments-when you move in, every quarter, every year, or whenever your needs change-so care matches whatever you need, and you only pay for what you get. If you're looking for memory care, the environment is set up to help people with dementia feel safe, with support to reduce confusion and help prevent wandering. Alongside all that, there's a steady stream of social events, activity calendars, and programs meant to build companionship, independence, and faith; people say these activities make community life more engaging. Their aim is simple-to provide a secure, stress-free living space that looks after the physical, intellectual, spiritual, emotional, and social well-being of residents, with staff available to help all the time, and services flexible enough for both private pay and Medicaid Elderly Waiver. All this happens in a comfortable setting connected to Woodlake Residences, and they put extra effort into keeping the place welcoming and supportive, even including business office support and online presence through their website and social media platforms, so you can find up-to-date information whenever you need it at https://woodlakehc.com.
