Osseo Commons is a senior living community for people aged 55 and over, and it sits right at 10 6th Street Northwest in Osseo, MN, tucked into a lively neighborhood close to shops, small-town stores, parks, pharmacies, and restaurants, which really helps when folks want to get out or have visitors, and there's even a private lot with guest parking for visitors who drop by. The building has four floors and twenty apartments, with one-bedroom, one-bedroom plus den, and two-bedroom layouts, all with private balconies and in-unit laundry rooms that include full-size washers and dryers, which sure saves trips up and down the hall, plus the kitchens have electric ranges, dishwashers, refrigerators with ice makers and in-door dispensers, microwaves, and the counters are easy to reach with eat-in spaces or center islands, and there's cable and high-speed internet connections already hooked up, so you can stay connected or watch TV whenever you like. People who live here find that the heated indoor parking, secure entrance, elevator, and friendly atmosphere make moving around the building safe and easy, even if you use walkers or wheelchairs, and you don't have to worry about stairs because the floor plans are wheelchair and walker friendly, there's grab bars in every bathroom, right-height toilets, walk-in and wheelchair accessible showers with handheld heads, and wide doors, which really helps with daily routines and gives everyone a bit more peace of mind; plus, the whole building is smoke-free and has a secure entry, on-site mail delivery, and trash chute access on every level, and there are spacious closets and organizers in case you like to keep things neat.
The community lets you bring your pets, and there's indoor and outdoor common areas, like a bright social room with lots of seating, a big flat screen TV, a fireplace for chilly days, and a kitchen-it's a spot folks often use for socializing or just watching a game or sharing a simple meal, and the walking paths and well-kept gardens outside are nice if you like fresh air. You can stay active in the exercise room or take part in crafts and organized activities. Meals are available, with a focus on quality and nutrition, but there isn't a full dining room in the building; meals get delivered to apartments, which works out for people who like eating in their own space. The facility's amenable to both men and women, and makes sure to offer a welcoming environment for everyone, with housing protections for LGBTQ individuals as well.
Osseo Commons covers a lot of care options-independent senior apartments for people who want to come and go or manage most of their needs, as well as assisted living services if someone needs help with daily tasks like dressing or bathing, and there's memory care for people with Alzheimer's disease or dementia, with a safe environment to prevent wandering and therapies aimed at lessening confusion, plus skilled nursing options and respite care for short-term stays, and even hospice services available. There's also home care from trained aides, who do non-medical work and spend time with those who need extra help or companionship, and the staff emphasizes accessibility and convenience for every resident.
There's complimentary transportation for errands and appointments, and you'll always have parking for your car or your guests' cars, and the building's situated right by coffee shops, parks, medical offices, and local stores, so you won't have to go far for conveniences. Lease lengths range from one to two years, with a deposit equal to one month's rent, though the utilities included in rent aren't named, and the facility keeps a secure and friendly atmosphere. Residents appreciate the easy lifestyle, large floor plans, and the fact that you can enjoy social living or keep to yourself as you choose, and with only 20 units, things tend to feel quiet and personal, though you do have all the basics covered for comfort, safety, and day-to-day enjoyment.
