Heritage Living Center

Heritage Living Center, found at 619 West Sixth Street in Park Rapids, MN, has served as a county-owned senior care facility since 1955, and has become a place where older adults can get skilled nursing, assisted living, independent living, memory care, adult care home, transitional care, and even hospice and home health help, all in one community, which makes things simpler for families who're looking for a place that covers most needs as seniors age. Folks living here can find a warm, homelike setting, either in shared suites or private ones, with elevators for easy navigation, Wi-Fi in rooms to keep up with loved ones or watch movies, and central dining rooms for chef-prepared meals. Residents have access to a Transitional Care Unit, an in-house therapy department run with help from RehabCare, and on-site services like physical therapy, nursing rehab, 24-hour care coordinated by the Heritage nursing team, and help with things like incontinence care, housekeeping, laundry, and even personal storage lockers. There's an active social services department that helps new folks move in, builds individual care plans, and acts as a link for families who want to keep in touch with the care team, and at Heritage Living Center, family and resident councils let people share ideas and help shape daily life in the building. Community activities keep days interesting, with things like events, volunteer opportunities, fishing tournaments, holiday gift giving, Backpack Buddies Food Packs, Imagination Library for kids, Wheels to Work, and gatherings like Business Blitz, Trap Tournament, and Wine and Beer Tasting, so no two weeks feel exactly the same. A Heritage chapel, salon and spa, big outdoor patio, and a garden give people space for both quiet time and socializing, and every week residents can choose social, spiritual, and leisure events to join. Housing includes apartment homes and shared spaces that help folks stay connected with neighbors, and the whole approach centers on serving personal needs, honoring people's wishes, and keeping strong community ties. Regular nutrition programs, help for kids and families, coats for the community, medical care management, and on-site medical and nursing care all blend to make Heritage Living Center a steady place for seniors who need different levels of help, whether for a short recovery or long-term living.
