Staffing

We are staffed in our Assisted Living and Care Center only. Independent Living apartments are not staffed.

Assisted Living

Our staff consists of Home Health Aides, who are here 24 hours a day. Nurses are available during business hours with an on-call service for emergencies that may develop after hours. Our residents have the option to be followed by our in-house Doctor or Nurse Practitioner, or continue seeing their own doctor outside of our community. We have an RN Clinical Administrator who oversees all resident care and supervises the other nurses and aides.

Care Center (Skilled Nursing/Long Term Care/Nursing Home)

We have nurses and resident assistants in the building at all times. Clinical Coordinators (Nurse Managers during business hours) oversee all healthcare services for our residents and report to our Director of Nursing, who is available during business hours. We also have an in-house Doctor and Nurse Practitioner.

Trainings

All staff have annual trainings, and additional trainings depend on their certification. We communicate regularly as a team, meeting in person daily and updating our directors at our corporate office.

Safety

The safety of our residents is of utmost importance to us. Our building entrances are locked at all times. Only those with special access (key fob) or those allowed inside by our receptionists can enter. For residents considered to be an elopement risk, special assessments are completed, a special order obtained from a physician, and when appropriate, we offer placement in one of two controlled-access memory care units.

Resources

Our team stays up to date on current resources available in Isanti County. We keep resources on hand and provide them to anyone who asks. In our Care Center and Assisted Living buildings, we have Resident Services staff who help with discharge planning as needed and know how to submit special referrals or involve county workers and other representatives.

Transportation

We have a bus that can transport residents around the Cambridge area during business hours.

Dining

We offer various dining options. We have a wonderful culinary team providing delicious food. We have an on-site Restaurant, Bistro, and dedicated dining rooms for Memory Care Assisted Living and Care Center units. Food is prepared in the main kitchen, with a variety of options always available. Breakfast can be ordered anytime of day, which is very popular with our residents.

Independent Living

Each building has a Housing Director who addresses any concerns from residents or families.

Assisted Living and Care Center

Our Resident Services Director and Household Coordinators address concerns from residents or families.

Costs

Costs vary significantly based on the type of living and layout. We can share specific prices once you've narrowed down the type of living you're interested in.

Responsible Party

Residents usually appoint a "Responsible Party" or Primary Contact for regular communication. In our care settings, we schedule Care Conference meetings where families and the resident can attend in person for updates, questions, and concerns.

Short-Term Rehab and Respite

We operate a Short-Term Rehab in our Care Center. Respite care is available in our Care Center, subject to bed availability. All referrals go directly to our Admissions Nurse for review. The State of MN determines the daily rate for any stays in the Care Center based on assessments, so the daily cost varies for each individual.

Pet Policy

We are pet friendly. Our pet policy allows pets in our Independent and Assisted Living apartments. We require a deposit, vaccination records, a weight limit of 20 lbs or less, and a limit of two pets per apartment. Residents must be able to care for their pets independently without staff assistance. Special pet visitors are always welcome, even if they cannot live here.

Wait List

We currently have a wait list, which depends on the type of living you are interested in.

Vaccinations

Residents can request vaccinations here.

Levels of Care

We offer a full continuum of care with several separate levels. This means you may start in one type of living and later move to another apartment or room for a different level of care. For example, someone may begin in an independent apartment but later move to Assisted Living to receive more structured support.
