Voa Home Health At Rochester sits on a nice and safe campus at 1900 Ballington Boulevard Northwest in Rochester, Minnesota, and offers a wide mix of home health care and community living options for seniors, adults, and families, so you'll see everything from independent living and assisted living to memory care, skilled nursing, and continued care under one roof, which helps people adjust their care as their needs change and lets families stay together longer if they want to. This place goes all-in with skilled nursing, daily support, tailored memory care, and short-term rehab, and there's help for all sorts of daily tasks like bathing, dressing, getting around, or taking medicine, and you'll also find meal services-including those for folks with diabetes or allergies-plus daily housekeeping, laundry, transportation, parking, and a team that helps organize the move-in. The staff includes nurses, CNAs, LPNs/LVNs, RNs, therapists, and caregivers, and they're trained to check peoples' health regularly, keep good communication with doctors, manage medicine, use assistive tech like communication devices, and step in with custom therapy, including virtual occupational therapy for families who live far or can't travel easily, which tends to help people in rural spots quite a bit.
They've got a lab that's been running for 18 years, led by Emily Heickley, which handles testing, diagnostics, and more complex stuff with staff and equipment matched to what regular care needs, and that's handy when someone needs checks done without heading offsite. For people caring for loved ones, there's respite care, which means caregivers can get a break while staff steps in, and that's offered for anything from a few hours to full-day or 24/7 support, making things easier to manage. The campus has a friendly atmosphere, and people can join organized events, walk the garden paths, visit the barber or salon, do arts and crafts in the arts room, and go to movie nights, and the facility encourages seniors and families to help shape activities and services through resident and family councils. They also make safety a priority with an emergency alert system, regular supervision, help with transfers and toileting, and staff who are available around the clock.
Voa Home Health At Rochester supports different care needs-rehab, long-term skilled care, memory support, and all-around help with personal care or medical issues-while trying to keep life as home-like and respectful as possible, with both private and community amenities like telephones in rooms, gardens, and group activities to make days more interesting. The staff offers patience and care for those with dementia or disabilities, and they adjust care plans when needed, keeping things personal. Some folks use their adult day programs or the independent living services if they need less help, and there are also jobs for those looking to work as caregivers or nurses. Voa Home Health helps people pay for care with Medicare and Medicaid, and in June 2025 there were 18 of 56 certified beds open, so availability can change. The place's focus stays on making sure people get care at home or onsite, using medical professionals and new technology to make living easier, especially for those who want to stay involved with family and their community.
