Marian Center of St Paul

Marian Center of St Paul sits in a quiet spot and offers many services for seniors, adults with disabilities, and even children in need of care, with 127 senior living apartments that cover independent and assisted living, along with nursing home care and memory care for folks with dementia or Alzheimer's, and you'll find both private and semi-private rooms, single studios, and some two-bedroom units available so there are choices whether someone needs a little help or a lot more. Residents get meals each day in two large dining rooms with fireplaces, which are nice for meeting others, and there's a three-season porch and a landscaped, enclosed courtyard with gardens and benches for sitting when the weather's good or even for most of the year, and people can enjoy spiritual care onsite with services each week for Catholic, Protestant, and Ecumenical groups, with daily Rosary at 12:30 pm. Staff here is around 24 hours a day, ready to help with things like transferring from beds to wheelchairs, bathing, dressing, medication reminders, blood sugar checks for folks with diabetes, and even more complicated nursing or hospice care, and there's regular help for people who need incontinence care or non-ambulatory support, with both skilled nursing and home care options by trained aides. There are big common rooms indoors for games, crafts, or reading, social groups like book club, craft groups, and outings, plus fitness and wellness programs, exercise rooms, a spa with a whirlpool tub, arts and education classes, and even pet and cuddle therapy, and folks who stay here get weekly housekeeping, laundry, and dry cleaning if they want, some floor plans have private baths, motion detectors to prevent falls, and everyone has access to cable TV and Wi-Fi, and there's a salon and barbershop on site too. The Marian Center partners with groups like the Alabama Head Injury Foundation, Bay Area Rehabilitation Center, Brain Injury Association of Tennessee, Good Shepherd Home, Birmingham Green Adult Residence, and the St. Paul Public Housing Agency, so adults with brain injuries or physical disabilities have extra support, and there's rehabilitation help for those getting stronger after illness or surgery. The building's accessible for folks with handicaps, and has been since 1978, and comes with features like safety sprinklers, guest parking, maintenance, and secure doors for memory care, and for those needing a short break or after a hospital stay, they offer respite care as well. Activities center around healthy lifestyles, movement, socializing with music and crafts, off-site trips, and Eldergrow programs, and there's always someone nearby for emergencies. People can take virtual tours of the building, see photos, and get a sense of the place before moving in. The lobby stands out because it's got a curved staircase that makes for a nice welcome when you walk in, and the community is connected to local groups through membership in the St. Paul Chamber and is also tied to Cerenity Senior Care. There's care for daily needs, medical visits like podiatry or wound care, support with medications, and options for rehabilitation and hospice, all focused on keeping folks comfortable and supported. The Marian Center of St Paul provides a simple, supportive environment for residents who want to stay as independent as possible while having the care and activities they need close at hand.
