Murphy's Board & Care Home

Murphy's Board & Care Home sits right in a residential part of Saint Cloud, Minnesota, at 1101 3rd St N, and what you'll find there is a quiet place that feels like a shared home, not a big institution, with private bedrooms that have bigger closets and spots for personal touches, and the backyard patio and flower gardens give residents a good place to spend time outdoors when the weather's nice. The home takes care of a small group of seniors, so folks get plenty of attention from caregivers, and the staff help with things like bathing, dressing, grooming, and getting around, as well as medication support and meals, with home-cooked dishes and snacks throughout the day, which a lot of people come to appreciate. Residents choose from different care levels, including assisted living, independent living, memory care, and nursing home support, and if someone needs more medical attention, nurses and even wound care services are there, plus occupational therapy, podiatry visits, and hospice care if needed. Safety's addressed with features like secured entries, alarm systems, sprinkler systems, and handicap accommodations, while daily life gets brightened up with arts and crafts, entertainment, exercise sessions, or just visiting in the gathering room or watching the big television. There's a game room, a dining room, salons for haircuts, and options for laundry, dry cleaning, and housekeeping, and transportation's available when a resident has appointments or errands. Murphy's Board & Care Home is licensed and keeps a close caregiver-to-resident ratio, and staff aim to help seniors stay as independent as possible while getting the support they need for daily living, memory support, and personal care. Services like dining, health programs, internet access, housekeeping, and social activities are part of daily life, and residents also get to use kitchens or kitchenettes and have access to washers and dryers, so everyone gets to keep a bit of their normal routine, and with guest parking, family or friends can easily visit the home and join in some activities from time to time.
