Tree of Life Assisted Living

Tree of Life Assisted Living sits right next to the Immaculate Conception church at 632 Main St in New Munich, MN and you'll notice straight off it's a smaller place, only 16 private rooms, so there's kind of a home-like feeling as you walk through, especially with Lily, the resident dog, wandering around and mostly everyone gets WiFi, phones in their rooms and a community garden out back. The facility's open all day and night, staffed by patient care assistants and a registered nurse, both on site 24 hours a day, and the care staff help with everything from dressing, bathing, and transfers to medication reminders, especially if someone needs help because of a medical condition or just can't get around like they used to. Residents get three meals a day, plus snacks, in the communal dining room-with choices to fit special diets like for diabetes or allergies-and there's laundry, housekeeping, dry cleaning, and regular safety checks, thanks to emergency alert systems and weekly care-plan reviews. The rooms are wheelchair-friendly, there's support for folks who don't walk much anymore, and everyone's got access to the movie area, arts room, walking paths, and social events, with visiting or even joining in on group activities like movie nights, community gardening or resident-run programs. There's help getting to healthcare appointments, a barber and salon on site, and the staff coordinate with doctors and therapists so families know their loved ones' medical needs are met. The place has a solid safety setup, too, with 24-hour supervision, a call system for emergencies, and security features throughout, and a big focus around making care decisions that fit the person, with families involved if they want to be. Tree of Life Assisted Living is run as an LLC by Tina Valerius, with information on their website showing their different services, pictures, details about the team, volunteer opportunities, and how to get in touch for a tour or to ask about what they can help with. The reviews so far are positive, showing families seemed to appreciate the focus on compassion and person-centered care, and the daily life here tends to blend help with daily activities, specialized care options, and a mix of quiet home setting and lively get-togethers for anyone who wants to join in.
