Homestead Cooperative sits at 400 E 5th St, Redwood Falls, MN, and offers a quiet place for seniors with different needs, and you'll find folks living in detached homes, studio and one-bedroom apartments, condos, and townhomes, so there's a good mix of living spaces and some people even bring their dogs or cats along because the place is pet-friendly, making the whole environment feel more like home, with laundry services, covered or uncovered parking, and computer or media centers right there. You'll see security is covered by a security gate and programs like wandering guard, which gives families some peace of mind, and for those who want to speak their first language, they have staff or services in many languages-everything from American Sign Language to Russian to Korean, Vietnamese, and more. The place isn't a full nursing home, so while they don't have round-the-clock skilled nursing, they do offer care for folks who need help with daily tasks or memory issues or if someone needs short-term care, hospice care, or more support as health changes, and there are companion suites for some who like to share.
You'll notice the common spaces, both inside and out, like a dining room with shared meals, some private dining options, a party space, outdoor patios, enclosed courtyards, walking paths, and raised garden beds-there are even butterfly and hummingbird gardens, an indoor atrium, a game room, ballroom, billiards lounge, movie or theater room, a woodworking shop, a beauty salon, and a fitness center, so there's pretty much always something to do or somewhere to go, and if you need to borrow a computer or join an activity, that's there too. The rent comes as all-inclusive, or as rent plus care fees with different entry or fee structure options, and you can choose what fits best. Grocery shopping or errands can be arranged, and there's transportation for a fee if you need to get to hospitals, drug stores, banks, or somewhere for shopping or eating nearby in Redwood Falls.
The community's main focus is providing support for folks wanting independent living but they also have services for those needing more help, with memory care, dementia care, skilled nursing, and care for higher needs, all with the help of a friendly staff who try to make things comfortable and safe. There's a feeling that everyone's encouraged to take part in social, educational, and fun activities, keeping the mind and body moving, and they even arrange tours if you want to check the place out for yourself. The facility links with groups like the Redwood Area Communities Foundation and has a hand in community development, scholarships, and support through grants and the Ehlers Student Loan Fund, showing strong ties to the local area.
