Encore at Mahtomedi Assisted Living and Memory Care sits right in Mahtomedi, Minnesota, and folks can find all kinds of support there including assisted living, memory care, independent living, and even homecare or hospice right on site, which can make things easier as needs change. People need to meet a minimum age rule to live there, and there's parking for residents, and pets can come too, so someone's best friend can move in along with them. The community has wide, accessible halls, indoor and outdoor gathering spaces, walking paths out in the garden, and a well-stocked library perfect for quiet afternoons or meeting new friends, while movie nights, exercise groups, and art rooms keep people busy if they like. Private studio and one-bedroom apartments let folks decorate with their own things and enjoy a bit of privacy, and each room has a telephone and emergency alert system, plus everything comes equipped for safety, like wheelchair-accessible showers and secured areas for memory care.
Assisted living services here focus on helping with daily needs such as bathing, dressing, transfers, and medication, and they always have nurses and trained caregivers around the clock. The memory care side, which they call The Courtyard at Encore's PEACE OF MIND, is for people with Alzheimer's, dementia, or cognitive challenges, and the staff follow custom care plans and keep the setting safe and closely supervised. Podiatrists come by for foot care, while physical, occupational, and speech therapists provide onsite therapy as needed, so nobody needs to leave the building for support. Dining services serve all-day, restaurant-style meals that cover many diets, including help for those with diabetes or allergies, and residents can take part in both community and resident-led activities-anything from card games to devotional services to day trips around the St. Paul area.
Encore's caregivers all speak English and are there to lend a hand with transfers, mobility, and support for anyone who might need more care or supervision, plus the building has medical alert systems like Bay Alarm Medical, Medical Guardian, and ADT Medical Alert for extra peace of mind. Friends and family are always welcome at educational events, like presentations about memory loss or dementia resource kit workshops, which can be especially comforting if someone's loved one is just learning about caregiving. Housekeeping and laundry are offered, including dry cleaning, and there's a beauty and barber shop available too, so everyone stays comfortable and cared for without much fuss. The Encore family gets good remarks for its care, and the smaller community size means staff can really know the residents, helping with personalized care plans and making a friendly, home-like atmosphere that allows for as much independence as possible. Respite care is there if families need a short break, and the staff are experienced in all the things that make life easier and safer for seniors, particularly those with dementia or needing frequent help. This place offers familiar comforts, tailored support, a sense of friendship, and a focus on keeping everyone as active and involved as they choose to be.
