Project Caring offers a unique approach to assisted living by providing residents with high-quality care in a warm, residential home environment. Nestled on two and a half scenic acres of rolling grassland in West Lakeland Township, just outside of Stillwater, Minnesota, Project Caring is designed to create a welcoming and serene atmosphere. Its beautiful country neighborhood setting allows residents to enjoy peaceful surroundings and natural views, contributing to their overall sense of well-being and comfort.
The philosophy at Project Caring centers around delivering the same comprehensive level of care typically found in larger facilities, but in a more intimate and personal setting. Residents receive 24-hour awake staff support, ensuring that assistance is always available when needed. The dedicated staff provides help with Activities of Daily Living, medication management, and various other needs, fostering a reassuring sense of security. Three home-cooked meals are prepared daily in a state licensed kitchen, with menus thoughtfully planned by a chef and dietitian. These fresh, in-house meals are crafted to offer both nutrition and enjoyment, with alternate options available for every meal to accommodate individual preferences. Healthy snacks, as well as more indulgent treats, are available throughout the day to keep residents satisfied and content.
Each resident at Project Caring enjoys the comfort and privacy of a private bedroom, with windows that offer stunning views of the surrounding grassland and countryside. While bathrooms are shared, the arrangement is considerate, with one bathroom assigned to every two residents, ensuring convenience and easy access. The main level Living Room serves as a gathering place where residents can come together to watch television, read, work on puzzles, and simply enjoy each other's company. DirectTV service and high-speed Wi-Fi are available in most bedrooms, enhancing daily life and entertainment options for residents, though these amenities are not guaranteed in every room.
Social engagement and community involvement are pillars of life at Project Caring. The staff actively supports residents in pursuing social activities both inside and outside the home. Residents are encouraged to participate in outings such as walks through the picturesque neighborhood, visits to the Stillwater Senior Center, and excursions to Lake Elmo Regional Park. Additional activities include exercise and therapy sessions, foster dog visits that bring joy and companionship, and other special outings tailored to the interests of those living in the home. Transportation can be arranged upon request to ensure that residents maintain their connections to the wider community and participate in meaningful experiences.
Throughout all aspects of daily life, Project Caring fosters an environment where relationships and meaningful connections are valued. The approach is centered on combining high-quality assisted living with the comforts and familiarity of home. With a focus on attentive care, freshly prepared meals, engaging social opportunities, and a tranquil setting, Project Caring provides a welcoming alternative to larger facilities—one where residents can thrive, connect, and truly feel at home.
