Timberdale Trace Assisted Living sits in Owatonna, Minnesota, and offers both assisted living and memory care in a single-story, cottage-style setting that doesn't have elevators or stairs, so people can get around more easily, and folks who live there have access to all kinds of support, including help with daily tasks, medication management, and housekeeping, plus transportation gets arranged if needed, though there's a fee for some rides while others come at no cost. The staff is on site twenty-four hours a day and a doctor comes by twice a month to check on residents, which can be comforting if health concerns come up suddenly, and the caregivers make individualized care plans, really paying attention to what each resident needs, whether someone just needs a bit of help or a lot of support, especially for those living with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia. People can have cats or dogs in their private or deluxe suites, and the place has a secure, enclosed courtyard with shaded seats and raised garden beds, so there's always a safe spot to walk or relax outside, and there are even baby care areas with dolls and a crib for those who find comfort in that type of activity, along with busy boards and fidget books placed throughout for hands-on engagement.
Folks eat nutritious, restaurant-style meals every day, with guest meals available if family wants to visit, and there's a beauty salon for hair appointments and a whirlpool if someone wants a nice soak. The staff runs art classes, social gatherings, trips, outings, and fitness groups, and there's a regular program of activities planned by an activities director to help everyone stay active and make new friends, with devotional services offered on site for those who want them. Residents can use indoor spaces like the fireside living room or piano lounge, and Wi-Fi works throughout the building, plus security features include keypad entry, alarmed doors, and emergency response systems in every room. Social, cultural, and educational choices make it easy to try something new or enjoy old favorites, and management updates and invests in the community to keep it welcoming and safe. Timberdale Trace belongs to Eagle Senior Living, a nonprofit, and is managed in partnership with Odom Health & Wellness, so it's set up to foster independence while still having a strong support system in place for every stage of aging.
