Seven Hills Senior Living sits at 733 Selby Ave in St. Paul, MN, in a red-brick building finished in 2019 that looks a bit like the historic buildings you find on Selby and Grand Avenue, with heavy wood beams and cozy booths inside that remind many people of the old Cathedral Hill café, and the building itself is pretty big, about 126,900 square feet, holding 101 units, a two-story sanctuary, church, classrooms, and offices all connected under one roof alongside the Morning Star Baptist Church, which adds a special character you don't see everywhere. Seniors can pick independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, or care suites, and the place helps people move between these levels if their needs change, so they don't have to leave their new home when more care's needed. People often say the community feels close-knit, with staff focused on giving dignified care, and residents can count on help for daily tasks like bathing, dressing, or medication reminders, along with memory care programs developed for those living with Alzheimer's or other dementia, including safety features to reduce confusion or wandering.
The facility tries to keep life interesting and social, offering group activities like concerts, theater trips, museum visits, shopping shuttles, game nights, and fitness classes with transportation available to get people around, which can make it easier to get out and enjoy some of what St. Paul has to offer. People who like being active find plenty to do, with access to a library, devotional services both inside and off-site, community rooms inside and out, and even beautician services, so it's easy to stay looking and feeling one's best. Meals get served restaurant-style with professional chef-prepared dishes, and there's a flexible approach to dining, so residents can choose options like home-style cooked meals, anytime dining, or special event rooms for family celebrations, with consideration for different diets such as vegetarian, gluten-free, diabetic, or high-protein, and a focus on a dignified meal experience especially for those in memory care.
Apartments come with handy features like in-unit washers and dryers, pet-friendly policies, and high-speed internet in the common areas, trying to make things as comfortable and worry-free as possible, while the whole campus is designed to be easy to get around for people with mobility aids. There's a focus on safety, including staff on-hand for medication and health needs-like help with diabetes or incontinence-so folks can keep their independence as far as possible while feeling cared for and secure. Seven Hills Senior Living offers access to planning resources, glossaries, family caregiver support, and info to help understand different senior living options and manage costs, so people and their families can make confident choices. The whole community is set up to let seniors connect and build friendships, enjoy a rich calendar of events, and feel part of something, whether taking part in social programs, using the two-story sanctuary for worship, or simply relaxing in a safe, graceful setting that pays attention to both quality of life and comfort.
