Cerenity Care Center On Humboldt

Cerenity Care Center & Residence on Humboldt sits on a big 15-acre park-like campus in St. Paul with two main buildings, The Residence and The Care Center, and you'll find a long sidewalk to stroll and plenty of green space outside which makes it feel peaceful and open, and you'll see right away they offer lots of care options depending on what someone might need as they get older, like assisted living, memory care for people at the start or farther stages of memory loss, and a transitional care unit for those who need more help between a hospital stay and going home, and they also run skilled nursing, rehab after sickness or surgery, hospice, palliative care, adult day care, home health care, respite care, and more long-term supports too. Seniors live in one of the 114 apartments, picking from studio apartments, semi-deluxe rooms, and larger suites where there's a living room, bedroom, and sometimes built-in bookcases, and each apartment has its own bathroom, cable TV, private spaces, and rental meals are offered if wanted, and around the buildings, staff speak English and handle care plans to fit what the resident needs, with 24-hour nursing and basics like laundry, housekeeping, and long-term medication help, so families often say they feel pretty safe having loved ones here. The community has a smoke-free indoor policy and is pet-friendly, plus it's got things like a chapel, spiritual care services, beauty and barber shop, courtyard, elevators, lounges, and a cafeteria called the Humboldt Bluff Café where meals look more restaurant-style, and people take part in life enrichment programs, such as arts, crafts, card games, group activities, outings, movie nights with popcorn, exercise classes, and men's and women's groups. Some special programs include Eldergrow and transportation services, and folks can join programs for spiritual and social health, or visit the on-site gift cart. What makes the place stand out is how the staff-like the grievance leaders Rhonda Little and Nancy Lorenz, and the internal organizer Yankuba Fadera-emphasize respect, community, dignity, and teamwork, promoting the well-being and comfort of each person without making a big fuss about it, and while the facility isn't taking new patients at the moment, it works as part of the Benedictine senior care community with resources aimed at helping people manage life as they age in a clean, supportive place. Residents and their families can take virtual tours or check out the online photo gallery for a better idea of what it's like; the care team makes sure each resident's plan is personal, whether folks want independent living or full nursing support, memory care, or even just adult day services or a short stay after a hospital visit, and everyone can find a routine and get the support they're looking for in a setting that tries to be welcoming without a lot of fuss.
