Equity Services Of St Paul

Equity Services Of St Paul sits in the Twin Cities area and has served older adults for almost 28 years since its license started on 12/04/1990, and they work as a voluntary non-profit home care agency that's part of the Medicare program, and they help with many kinds of care like Assisted Living, Memory Care, Nursing Home, Independent Living, Skilled Nursing, in-home care, and aging in place support, plus they're able to help with Alzheimer's and dementia care, short-term care, long-term care planning, and hospice so folks who need different types of support can often find something here that suits them. The staff speak more than 10 languages, including Hmong, Vietnamese, Cambodian, Igbo, Spanish, Nepali, Swahili, Luo, Somali, Russian, Liberian, Pilipino, and Yoruba, which helps them serve a diverse community, and they run scheduled daily activities along with resident-run activities so people have options for socializing or keeping busy, and they have a mental wellness program that's meant to focus on emotional and mental health. They prepare meals in a spacious dining room, and they work with special diets, while apartment homes come fully furnished and there are housekeeping services if help is needed with cleaning, and outdoor spaces along with gardens give a chance to relax or join neighbors in the fresh air. Inside, there are amenities like a beauty salon, Wi-Fi, kitchenette space, and cable or satellite TV, and of course the dining and garden areas, and people get a 24-hour call system with constant supervision, help with bathing, dressing, medication, and getting from place to place, plus regular check-ins and care from nurses or home health aides, where care covers things like daily living help, medication management, transportation to appointments, and medical attention such as CPR, cardiac care, wound care, first aid, and teaching about diseases and recovery. They offer both nursing care for serious needs and home health aide services for ongoing daily activities, coordinating everything with doctors or healthcare providers, and their approach is meant to be age-friendly using four key areas called the 4Ms-what Matters, Medication, Mentation, and Mobility-so the goal is to meet the unique needs of older adults and help them stay safe and comfortable, whether someone comes in for day care, independent living, or help at home. Office hours go from seven in the morning to 3:30 in the afternoon Monday through Thursday and close a little earlier on Friday at 3:00, so there's a good window to get things sorted or talk to staff.
