OWAKIHI INC

OWAKIHI INC runs several licensed senior living communities like THE LODGE OF MENDOTA, WILLIS AVENUE APARTMENTS, RESIDENTIAL TRANSITIONS, TRINTY TERRACE, AUGUSTANA EMERALD CREST OF BUR, INVER GROVE HEIGHTS WHITE PINE, HEART TO HOME, GOLDEN MAPLE HOMES, and OPTIONS RESIDENTIAL INC/GABRIE. Each place serves older adults, many of whom get help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and taking medicine, and there's always someone around, day or night, for support. There are apartments and senior housing choices, some even suited for couples, with layouts people can pick according to what they need, and the apartments have kitchenettes and cable TV, and air conditioning keeps the rooms comfortable in summer. People there get meals cooked for them, laundry done, and their spaces cleaned, and those are things that can make life easier as folks get on in years. People who need a little more help with memory can find specialized care and there's often programming for people with dementia or other concerns, and there's respite care, which just means someone can come in for a short stay if their regular caregiver is away. If someone wants entertainment or to keep active, there are group outings, happy hours, clubs, walking groups, and movie nights, so there's a bit of fun to look forward to, and many places have gyms, a hot tub, a swimming pool, a salon, and even a chapel for quiet or devotion. Folks bring their pets too, since cats and dogs are allowed with some rules, and that's nice for those who'd miss their animals. For getting to appointments or going grocery shopping, there's transportation both for medical and regular trips, and people who need help moving around get support with wheelchairs or walkers, with wide walkways making it safer. Staff help watch that everyone gets medicines on time, help people move about safely, offer games and activities, and they look out for linens, housekeeping, and even incontinence care if it's needed, so there's a lot covered for everyday life. The facilities comply with state licensing rules and offer Wi-Fi, so folks can keep in touch with family or just enjoy the internet, and there's usually a mix of both quiet comforts like devotional activities and social programs to help people stay connected, and it's all in Dakota County, Minnesota.
