The Villa sits on five well-kept acres in Norwood Young America, Minnesota, and is set up for folks age 62 and older or those with handicaps who want a safe, friendly place to live with help when they need it, and there are 61 roomy one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments, all with features like wheelchair access, private rooms, safety pull cords, and an elevator for easy getting around, so you don't have to worry about stairs. You've got the chance to age in place here, which means you can live as independently as you want while having daily help, like meals, personal care, medication help, and laundry-though the laundry is coin-operated and you do it yourself. For caregivers who need a break, the respite care services give short-term relief, and there's a secure area for folks with dementia, plus assisted living and memory care services right in the same community.
You'll have a full calendar of activities to join in on-including church services, Bible groups, social events, gardening spots if you want to work in the dirt, and group dinners-and if you like outings, they've planned those as well. There's even a salon on site so you don't have to travel for a haircut, and meals are served on campus so you don't always have to cook, though you can if you want. The Villa connects by indoor walkways to The Harbor and The Haven, so even bad weather doesn't stop you from getting around the rest of Peace Village, and folks appreciate the secured entry system, guest parking for visitors, and controlled access. The Villa keeps things safe and easy for everyone-there's an emergency pull cord system, it's smoke-free, and the building has features to make it easier if you need a wheelchair or walkers, with general maintenance, snow and trash removal, and all your electricity, sewer, and water taken care of in one place.
Affordable subsidized housing options mean The Villa will work for people with lower income, and there are income-based, income-restricted apartments for those who qualify. Residents get independence along with support, including social, spiritual, and health programs, plus Smart Link Bus Service for getting out and around, and an option for cable TV if you want more shows to watch. You get a real sense of community, with social programs, support centers, and both mental and preventive health care, and there's a caring staff through Cornerstone Management who work to keep things running smoothly and maintain that warm, steady feeling of home.
