Shaller Family Sholom East Campus sits at 740 Kay Ave in the West 7th neighborhood of Saint Paul, Minnesota, and is connected to Shirley Chapman Sholom Home East. The campus offers many types of senior living, like independent living, assisted living, memory care, transitional care, short-term respite care, and long-term nursing care, so folks can move between them as their needs change, and couples with different care levels can stay together. The apartments include studios, single rooms, and two-bedroom units, ranging in price from $2,000 to $8,000 per month, and there are some pet-friendly units, single-family homes, condos, and townhomes too. Each living space usually comes with its own kitchen or kitchenette, private bath with a full shower, safety features like sprinklers, housekeeping, washers and dryers, and even cable TV, and all of them are maintained by the staff.
The facility runs on Jewish values and has a strong Jewish community focus, so you'll see things like kosher meals and snacks, Jewish education programs for all ages, cultural connections, and observance of Jewish traditions, though they welcome people of all backgrounds and offer interfaith spiritual activities too. There's bilingual staff on hand, including people who speak Russian and Yiddish. There are eight "households" or clusters of private rooms, though a few double rooms exist. The care model uses a neighborhood approach, so personal care assistants and nurses help folks at any hour, providing skilled nursing, assisted living, complex medical care, and special end-of-life support. The memory care at the Phillips Center features dementia-specific activities, and there's a Welcome Home Program that helps with everyday transitions.
There are many activities and amenities, like a library, outdoor rooftop patios, walking paths, gardens, a beauty salon, barbershop, dining room, therapy and fitness areas, guest parking, and Wi-Fi throughout the property, plus game and activity rooms for social events or celebrating with family and friends. The Feinberg Vitality & Aquatics Center has a warm-water pool for aquatic therapy, and there's an adult day center, therapy department for physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and outpatient rehab services. The staff provides housekeeping, dry cleaning, laundry, maintenance, and rides for errands, outings, and appointments. Residents have access to daily life enrichment programs, health and wellness classes, music and pet therapies, arts and crafts, social groups, education programs, volunteer opportunities, and caregiver resources. Shaller Family Sholom East Campus offers support for adult mental health and well-being through the Chai Wellness program, along with hospice and palliative care when needed.
The place is secured around the clock with security and emergency response, and the grounds include lots of outdoor places to relax or walk safely. The dining services prepare kosher food and handle dietary needs, and the facilities have safety and accessibility features for those who need them. Additional community programs include the Torches of Leadership initiative, the Cardozo Society, Harry Kay Center for Leadership Excellence, and Gimel Society legacy giving-all aimed at building connection, identity, and supporting greater Saint Paul. Residents who want to stay active in the Jewish or larger Twin Cities community can take part in philanthropic events, adult leadership programs, youth mentorship, or just day-to-day engagement. The campus provides a straightforward, caring environment that focuses on personal dignity, comfort, and quality of life.
