Ridgeview Place Assisted Living sits at 1009 10th Ave NE in Sauk Rapids, where you'll find a medium-sized senior living community that feels calm and supportive, and what you get here are apartment-style homes-full-sized for seniors-with no pets allowed, so things stay pretty quiet. The facility has 43 private assisted living apartments and 14 Enhanced Services apartments for those with dementia or increasing needs, and memory care is special here because there's a secure unit with its own suites, including one bedroom studio spots, Suites, and Grand Suite style for residents who need more support. Every apartment includes a sink, microwave, full-sized fridge, and plenty of storage space in the kitchen, and rent covers all utilities except phone service. There's staff on duty around the clock, an emergency pendant system, emergency alert features, and options like room repair and maintenance for daily wear, which helps people feel safer and more at home.
The setting offers three meals each day, all focused on balanced nutrition, and residents with allergy-sensitive diets, diabetes, or other dietary restrictions have their meals taken care of, too, with an on-site dining room. A typical day here might include planned activities from the Community Life Coordinator, exercise in the fitness center, reading in the library, a walk in the garden or secured patio, or a movie night, because Ridgeview values structured daily routines to keep residents involved. There are guest suites for visitors, a beauty salon and barber, spiritual care, walking paths, and residents can count on transportation arranged for medical appointments, though tenants will pay for transport, and parking details aren't really specified.
People in need of assistance with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, medication management, or personal care find a lot of support from full-time trained staff, nurses, CNAs, and on-site therapy services from Blue Stone Therapy, including outpatient physical, occupational, and speech therapies, and those in memory care get supervision and cognitive exercises that are tailored to their needs. There's a focus on personalized and interdisciplinary care, and residents can take part in community-run programs, arts, or spiritual services if they like.
While pets can't live here, what residents do get is a community that wants people to feel secure and respected, which is important, and there's structured social, educational, and entertainment programming so people don't feel left out, whether living in Assisted Living or Memory Care. There's also a strong rule set up for legal protections related to housing, employment, and accommodations for LGBTQ individuals. Ridgeview Place tries to help families feel their loved ones can adjust and flourish, especially through tough memory transitions, and they take pride in offering privacy while still providing support whenever it's needed. This is a well-organized, comfortable setting aimed at meeting individual needs and helping residents enjoy daily life in a simple, home-like way.
