Carondelet Village sits near St. Catherine University in St. Paul's Highland Park area and stands as a continuing care retirement community where seniors can find different levels of support under one roof, so if someone needs independent living, assisted living, memory care, or long-term skilled nursing, they're all in one place, and that's handy for couples with different needs or those who want to stay put as needs change, and the community itself feels welcoming because it's tied to the Sisters Of St. Joseph of Carondelet and Presbyterian Homes and Services, putting a faith-based and spiritual touch to daily life. The property wraps around Carondelet Circle and includes things like wooded trails, prairie paths, rooftop gardens, and conservatories, and if someone enjoys crafts or working with their hands, there are dedicated studio spaces for ceramics, pottery, sewing, quilting, and woodworking, alongside rooms for fitness, a swimming pool, hot tub, wellness programs, and instructor-led classes. People can join programs for enrichment or attend spiritual activities, and there's a strong sense of holistic wellness, and for daily living, the dining options include a restaurant and café, plus meal programs that bring meals straight to residents if needed. Pets are welcome, which matters to animal lovers, and everyone living there can use the on-site library, pool, whirlpool, theater, salon, spa, the general store for daily items, and safe parking in a garage.
Within Carondelet Village, Oak Gables offers personalized long-term skilled nursing care, Pine Arbor serves as the memory care neighborhood where staff help people with compassion and understanding, Bethany Commons has assisted living apartments that support independence with help available in-home, and The Terrace senior apartments give people a place to live on their own with support around if needed. Apartment homes come thoughtfully designed and range in size and support level. The building has a controlled entrance, emergency response pendants, guest suites for visitors, and on-site maintenance and housekeeping. Transportation services help people get around for shopping or appointments, while laundry and cleaning take place regularly for convenience. Residents have access to resource services nearby, and can get specialized care like home health care, hospice, meals delivered to their apartment, and rehabilitative services if they're needed. They don't have to worry about moving if health needs change, because all levels of care blend within the same community, and social and wellness programs are planned around helping people stay active and connected. Market rate payment options are in place, so anyone interested would want to look into costs, and the entire setting puts a focus on providing seniors with the support and opportunities they need to stay vital, independent, and at home in a spiritually rich environment.
