Benedictine Living Community is dedicated to helping seniors live their lives to the fullest, offering an environment where well-being, independence, and community are valued and nurtured. Rooted in a mission of life-enhancing support, Benedictine provides a diverse range of living options designed to empower residents with choices that balance the need for personal freedom and autonomy with a strong sense of security and peace of mind. The community is grounded in the belief that every individual deserves dignity, respect, and compassionate care throughout all stages of life.
The organization’s approach is inspired by a rich faith-based tradition, directed by the foundational ethos of the Benedictine Sisters of St. Scholastica Monastery in Duluth. This tradition emphasizes humble and loving service, treating every person as if serving Jesus Christ himself, as defined by the Gospel and the Rule of St. Benedict: “Jesus said, ‘…anything you did for even the least of my people…you also did for me.’” Benedictine Living Community is inclusive, offering its support and care to people of all walks of faith while fostering an environment where each resident can feel truly at home.
At the heart of Benedictine Living Community is a holistic philosophy that cares for the entire person—body, mind, and soul. Each campus and service strives to enhance the wellness and sense of purpose for those they serve, creating a welcoming atmosphere where unique needs and preferences are respected. Residents are provided with choices that accommodate their desires for independent living or more supported options, with services extending beyond campus locations into therapy centers and even into individual homes, ensuring that care is accessible wherever it is needed.
The staff at Benedictine are committed to honoring and supporting each resident, listening attentively with the "ear of their heart" and engaging with a spirit of genuine compassion. This creates a vibrant, uplifting environment where new passions are uncovered and lifelong talents are celebrated. The culinary services are mindful of diverse backgrounds and tastes, ensuring that meals suit all residents and contribute to a sense of comfort and community. Numerous activities are offered, encouraging socialization, engagement, and personal growth for everyone.
The welcoming atmosphere at Benedictine Living Community fosters a sense of belonging and support in every aspect of daily life. Residents are treated with warmth and respect, forming meaningful connections and a sense of family with both peers and staff members. The community’s belief in the power of shared experiences is woven throughout all interactions, empowering individuals to live, grow, and find purpose at every stage of their journey. By upholding a tradition of kindness and service, Benedictine Living Community stands as a beacon of compassionate senior care, enriching the lives of all who call it home.
