Perham Living offers a range of senior care options that focus on comfort, safety, and helping each person live as independently as possible. The facility gives residents choices like assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing services, and there are special care units such as Golden Manor Memory Care and nursing home care at Green Pine Acres Nursing Home, which has 65 Medicare and Medicaid certified beds, including twenty-seven single-bed rooms and is run by the City of Menahga. There's also care available at Pelican Valley Health Center with 40 rooms, Essentia Health - Oak Crossing with 96 units, Divine House, Ecumen The Cottage, Ecumen Lamplighter Manor, Ecumen Detroit Lakes with 112 rooms, Diamond Willow Detroit Lakes, Frazee Care Center Complex with 74 rooms, Elder's Home and Heritage Manor with 48 beds, and Perham Living - Briarwood with 96 rooms, so folks have many choices depending on what they need. Perham Living's staff pay close attention to medical and personal help, offering care programs made for those with different needs, from memory care to assisting with daily tasks, and support goes beyond health care with both resident and family counseling offered. The facility's rehabilitation department gives physical, occupational, and speech therapy, including therapy for those recovering from surgery, balance issues, or swallowing problems, and you can find both inpatient and outpatient rehab here.
There's a strong focus on comfort and keeping people active and involved, with amenities and community spaces set up for social visits, crafts, bingo, and even regular volunteer programs, like folks who help with beauty shop visits and shopping trips. Perham Living opened its doors on May 1, 1965, and sits close to an adjoining park that has over 2,200 feet of sidewalks for easy walks, three gazebos, twelve benches, sprinklers, and even a thirty-foot-diameter fountain, which makes for a nice change of scenery on a sunny day. Residents can also look forward to events and activities, because the staff keeps a busy calendar with art, entertainment, and special annual celebrations like Turtle Fest and Pioneer Fest, plus the location connects with the wider community by supporting local shops and sharing vacation guides. Perham Living is connected to a hospital and keeps up with health and safety standards, holding both Medicare and Medicaid certification, and while the latest report showed two deficiencies, there haven't been fines or penalties, and no complaints have been noted. The care programs, specialized facilities, and active lifestyle offerings all carry the goal of providing comfort and independence, whether someone needs full nursing care or just a bit of help to stay engaged in daily life.
