Bridgewell sits at 410 W Main St in Osakis, Minnesota, where you'll find a warm and inviting senior living community with staff who stay friendly and helpful day and night. The facility offers a few types of living options, like independent living for those who still want plenty of privacy and activity, shared living quarters with private bedrooms, skilled nursing services, and dedicated memory care for those with Alzheimer's or other dementias. Each apartment or accommodation comes with all appliances, and every resident gets all utilities paid. Housekeeping and laundry help come standard, as do all meals, which staff plan with a good balance of nutrition in mind.
Residents get a custom care plan, whether they need help with diabetes or Parkinson's, continence care, or support for mental and developmental needs. The nurses and certified staff keep a careful watch, offering regular doctor assessments and health checks by RNs. Licensed staff can assist with insulin injections, blood sugar checks, mobility help, and even 1- or 2-person transfers for people who have trouble moving on their own, using mechanical lifts if needed. There are also visiting health specialists like physical, occupational, speech therapists, nurses, and podiatrists.
Bridgewell's grounds are fully secured, and residents can use call buttons for quick help. There's a beauty and barbershop, big decks, large indoor common areas, massage therapy if wanted, and spaces for arts, crafts, devotional services, and group activities that cover wellness in physical, mental, and emotional ways. They call their wellness center Club Galeon, which hosts exercise and social events and covers spiritual and vocational needs too. For moving in, the staff offers help with relocation, and transportation services are free for those who need to get to shops or appointments.
The center can handle everything from aging-in-place support, behavioral health, and caregiver support, to skilled nursing, memory care, and assisted living. Club Galeon runs unique programs for different client needs, including specialized dementia activities to keep people busy and engaged. Some housing options at Bridgewell include senior apartments, condos, townhomes, and different levels of assisted and independent living, all provided under a continuing care campus model. Medical alert systems, home safety features, medication dispensers, and reviews for brands like Bay Alarm Medical and Medical Guardian help keep residents safe and supported.
Bridgewell stays licensed and inspected through the state and local agencies, including for dementia care, with a total of 20 beds. Meals, medication help, mobility support, companion care, activities, and daily living support round out the overall care, and the staff's general reputation is for being joyful and kind, helping Bridgewell feel close-knit and relaxed.
