Luther Oaks in Bloomington offers Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care, allowing residents to remain on the same campus even as daily support needs shift. The community also accepts respite or short-term stays, so families can arrange temporary care or try out the community before making a long-term commitment. Staff members are trained to monitor diabetes, coordinate with on-site doctors, and provide speech therapy, giving residents access to consistent clinical oversight without leaving the property.
Additional health services are built around safety and continuous monitoring. The campus is a secured community, an important feature for residents living with cognitive change. On-site professionals include registered nurses, physical and occupational therapists, and a podiatrist. Care plans can incorporate ambulatory assistance, incontinence management, medication administration, and hospice coordination. The Memory Care neighborhood is laid out and staffed specifically to accommodate memory loss, reducing confusion and wandering risk while maintaining residents’ dignity.
Apartment layouts vary, and not every unit includes every amenity, but options can feature kitchenettes, private balconies or patios, wheelchair-accessible showers, and in-room climate control. Cable or satellite television and high-speed Wi-Fi are available, and some homes overlook the butterfly garden, central fireplace, or outdoor decks. The community is pet friendly, although size and breed restrictions may apply, and there is on-site parking for residents who still drive.
Dining is handled by a culinary team that prepares three daily meals and accommodates vegan choices as well as other physician-ordered diets. Guests are welcome to join residents for meals, and flexible seating times let individuals decide whether to eat in the main dining room or a quieter venue. Routine menu reviews with residents help the staff tailor offerings to current preferences and nutritional needs.
Recreational spaces include an activity center, library and computer lounge, raised garden beds, and venues for live music. The calendar features yoga and chair yoga, intergenerational programs, organized clubs, social outings, and a regular happy hour. A piano and organ on site support musical events, and community members can use walking paths or tend the gardens when weather permits.
