Greenhouse Village

Greenhouse Village sits at 1021 Larpenteur Avenue, Maplewood, MN 55113, and has a resident-owned cooperative housing setup for people aged 55 and up, and you'll notice right away that the place is quiet, straightforward, and meant for those who want to avoid the work of home upkeep since all the big routine maintenance tasks get handled for you, and with the different floor plan choices, most seniors can find something that fits their living needs. The place welcomes generally active, healthy seniors who want maintenance-free living, but there are also assisted living, memory care, and care homes when more help is needed, like for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, where care focuses on keeping folks safe and oriented, especially for anyone prone to wandering or confusion, and besides, there's home care if you'd rather stay in a familiar space. Meals are cooked by chefs and meal planners who pay attention to nutrition and taste so everyone gets proper vitamins and minerals. Residents say the staff is helpful, joyful, and friendly, making the community feel welcoming, and there's a strong emphasis on activities that help people stay social, active, and engaged in body and mind. You'll find awards for Best Meals and Dining, Best Activities, and Most Friendly in Senior Living, which points to a decent track record in caring for seniors. There's a senior living advisor service for those figuring out the next step, and help for veterans sorting out VA benefits if that applies. Apartments stay accessible and no-frills, designed for those who want independence without luxury fuss, and there are options for small group activities or quieter days if that suits you. Tours happen on Wednesdays between 11:00 AM and Noon, or you can visit by appointment Monday through Friday, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Greenhouse Village keeps things simple, focuses on community and well-being, and offers plain, practical solutions to senior living where neighbors look out for each other.
