Welcome Home Residential Care sits on Kell Avenue South in Bloomington, MN, right near other retirement communities like Nervana's Caring Hands and Breck Home Residential Care Center, LLC, and you know, Cardenas Friendship Homes 3 and Solbakken, Inc. are just up the way. The place serves as a retirement community for seniors needing daily help and goes by the residential care label, so it's really meant for people who like a private, cozy home setting. Folks who need help with memory care, assisted living, hospice, respite, general care, and even support for Parkinson's or mental health find services here, and you'll generally see the staff lending a hand with all sorts of daily activities, so nobody feels lost or left out.
The home has a regular staff around the clock, with nurses on site, doctors on call, and even a podiatrist visits along with physical, occupational, and speech therapists. Amenities make it a bit easier for everyone, with both indoor and outdoor common areas, a living area where people can visit or relax, high-speed internet, a hair salon, and private bathrooms. Safety and handicap features are pretty standard, so folks can move around with less worry, and there's resident parking out back, plus transportation for errands or doctor's appointments or outings.
You get meals served daily, with options that cover vegetarian, kosher, diabetic, gluten-free, and low sodium diets, and they've put in effort on the meals so residents with restrictions can eat what they need, and everyone eats together in a friendly setting. They also run housekeeping and laundry services, so nobody has to fuss with chores, and there are devotional and spiritual programs for those who want them. The home sets a minimum age for living there and keeps things no smoking inside, both in private and shared spaces.
Programs fill the days with activities, social clubs, and outings, both on and off site, aiming for a full calendar so life feels busy and interesting, and there's family outreach to help everyone stay connected. Care gets personalized per resident, so unique needs related to memory loss, incontinence, diabetes, and other health matters get actual attention, with staff trained to help with all that. Payment goes by private pay only. Ratings from families land at about 4.5 out of 5 stars, so people usually feel good about the care and attention their loved ones get here. The place tries to create a supportive setting, drawing on the comforts of a home while still being able to handle serious care needs and fostering a good community feeling for everybody living there.
