Cerenity Residence White Bear Lake sits in White Bear Lake, Minnesota, and has 43 apartments designed for seniors aged 55 and older who need different levels of care, whether it's assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, or short-term respite care, so folks who want to be as independent as possible but could use some extra support seem to find their needs met here, and there's a month-to-month lease arrangement, too. The building has three floors, and the one-bedroom or two-bedroom apartments come with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, basic appliances, storage space, and living rooms, plus there are options for both private and shared suites in the memory care unit, which accepts Medical Assistance payments and supports people all the way through late-stage dementia. Every day, staff check in to make sure everyone's okay, and there's someone on site 24/7; a nurse and specialized staff help create care plans that fit each resident's needs and encourage as much independence as possible, and there's a full range of care services right on campus, from skilled nursing and medication reminders to hospice and rehabilitation therapy.
Meals are provided three times a day in the dining room, but room service is available and there's a guest meal option if someone has visitors. Residents enjoy weekly housekeeping, in-building laundry, linen services, and scheduled van transportation for shopping or errands, and basic transportation's included, though additional outings and rides can be arranged for a cost. People can park at the facility by arranging ahead, and the building allows both dogs and cats with a pet deposit, so those who wish to keep their furry friends close can do so. Common areas have WiFi, cable TV, exercise programs, a resident's lounge, a sunroom or screened porch, a library, and there's a game room and community room for socializing, plus organized games, arts and crafts, music, fitness and wellness activities, and horticultural programs to keep hands and minds busy. Outdoor spaces include a garden courtyard with raised flower beds, outdoor walking paths, a patio, and nearby neighborhood park, all good for spending time outdoors during warmer weather, and patio spaces overlook grassy areas with trees for some peace and quiet.
For spiritual needs, there's an interfaith chapel on site, regular religious and devotional services, Bible studies, Rosary sessions, and a full-time Spiritual Care Director. A salon or barber service is on hand for personal grooming. The community is smoke-free indoors, with common areas and resident rooms set up to feel comfortable and homey. The residence is connected by a walkway to nearby long-term and transitional care services, and features a well-known therapy department, which even includes a therapy pool for those needing rehab after injury or surgery. The variety of services covers almost everything someone might need as they age-memory care for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, skilled nursing for complex medical needs, respite care for post-surgery recovery, and aging-in-place options so residents don't have to move as their needs change.
Residents and their guests can enjoy restaurant-style dining, and there's a strong sense of a warm, respectful community where neighbors often come from White Bear Lake itself. Security and wellbeing are priorities, with a $1,000 security deposit and a second person fee, and there's a structured program so people can maintain a high quality of life with plenty of activities, inside and out, and support whenever it's needed, all in a setting that honors each person's body, mind, and spirit.
