Mille Lacs Home Care, situated within the Mille Lacs Health System campus in Onamia, offers a warm and compassionate environment for adults in need of long-term or skilled short-term nursing care. With a capacity of 57 beds, this care facility is designed to provide individualized attention while fostering a sense of community among residents. The home’s philosophy centers on a “mind, body, spirit” approach, ensuring that each resident receives care tailored to their unique needs and backgrounds. Residents and their families find comfort in a setting that celebrates diversity, honors individual histories, and emphasizes dignity in every aspect of care.
This care home is equipped to support a variety of needs, ranging from permanent long-term residence to shorter stays for rehabilitation following trauma, illness, or surgery. The environment is both nurturing and medically secure, so residents can focus on healing and renewal without worrying about medical support being far away. In particular, those requiring memory care for conditions like Alzheimer’s or dementia benefit from a specially designed, gently secured lake view unit. This space is peaceful and open, with access to a healing garden and common areas that encourage social interaction while maintaining a tranquil atmosphere.
A hallmark of Mille Lacs Home Care is its commitment to consistent staffing, which allows residents to form trusting relationships with caregivers who are familiar with individual histories and preferences. In the memory care unit, private rooms are individualized to reflect each resident’s personality, with thoughtfully decorated doorways that help residents orient themselves and “find home” each day. This attention to the personal and emotional needs of residents complements the medical care provided, creating a culture where compassion and clinical excellence go hand in hand.
Being on the same campus as additional medical facilities means that all levels of care are readily accessible should residents require more intensive services. Families take comfort in knowing that their loved ones are in a safe, home-like environment while still having immediate access to a hospital, emergency room, and other resources. Mille Lacs Home Care strives to ensure that each resident is cared for like family, fostering an atmosphere where healing, comfort, and connection are at the forefront.
