Mission Nursing Home, sometimes called Mission Farm Nursing Home, has served men in Plymouth, Minnesota since 1964 at 3401 E Medicine Lake Blvd, and you'll find it's really the only all-male skilled nursing facility across the state, which makes it a pretty unique place for those needing long-term care due to physical or behavioral health issues, including mental health and substance use challenges, and you can tell the staff have built a strong, close-knit sense of brotherhood because residents support one another and there's a real feeling of camaraderie day-to-day. The home sits right by Medicine Lake, so folks enjoy nice views from the newly refinished building, and there are up to 65 beds, with an occupancy rate of around 83.8% in 2023, meaning there's usually a good mix of long-term and short-term residents getting nursing care, residential services, and therapy.
Men at Mission Nursing Home receive attention from a team that includes Registered Nurses, a Clinical Nurse Manager, Certified Nursing Assistants, Dietary Aides, residence aides, and a therapy department that's known for physical, occupational, and speech therapy, plus there's regular on-site psychiatry and weekly doctor visits, so anyone recovering from surgery, trauma, or managing chronic illness gets wound care, IV treatments, respiratory care with things like tracheotomy management, BiPap and CPap, and behavioral health management if needed. This place has meal services with a focus on healthy, nutritious foods, plus dietary and nutrition support, and there's always social and recreational activities-some of which have even won awards-so life stays engaging and routines are complemented by therapy and medication management services.
Mission Nursing Home also runs specialized memory care for dementia and Alzheimer's, aiming to reduce confusion and help with wandering, and there are indoor smoking areas for cigarettes only, with pipe smoking, vaping, and cigars outside, so some residents keep up their old habits safely; there's even a Gazebo program, letting approved men enjoy an alcoholic beverage during a special hour. Technology is part of life here, too, as an online community program helps families and residents stay in touch, and folks say the staff are joyful, helpful, and kind, greeting visitors with a smile. The community offers independent living, assisted living, nursing home, memory care, and even home care options, aiming to meet every need in the simplest way possible-apart from the hands-on care and nursing, people find it a friendly, safe place to heal or stay long-term. Life here has structure but enough flexibility with choices in dining, routines, and activities, leaving residents as comfortable as possible during tough times, and while reviews online average about 3.6 out of 7 reviews, people value the welcoming feeling, strong care, and the sense of belonging they get every day.
