The Homestead at Anoka offers Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care, allowing residents to transition smoothly as needs change. Clinical oversight comes from on-site RNs and LPNs, with a nurse on call 24 hours a day. The team manages wandering behaviors morning or night, elopement risk, combative tendencies, and residents who are up all night. Staff members are trained in wound care, oxygen use, special diets, and diabetes management for both oral medications and insulin injections. Moderate dementia is supported through an evidence-based Memory Care program that balances safety and stimulation, and the community accepts adults under 60 who need this level of care.

Residents benefit from an enclosed courtyard that permits safe outdoor time, a pet-focused activity program, and on-site services such as dentistry, podiatry, physical and occupational therapy. Caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they can support walkers, wheelchairs, standby transfers, or one-person lifts. Medication management, incontinence care, and ambulatory assistance are available around the clock. Security measures include background-checked staff, an awake night shift, and a PERS system that alerts staff to emergencies.

Accommodations range from studios to larger apartments; some feature private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent climate controls, and cable hookups, though not every unit includes each of these items. Residents may furnish their spaces and adjust services as needs evolve. Independent Living residents receive weekly housekeeping and have access to a monthly meal plan but may opt out of other services if they prefer.

Dining options include set menus with alternates, an on-order system for made-to-request meals, and snacks available throughout the day. Therapeutic diets are prepared under staff supervision, and portion control is observed for diabetic residents. The kitchen coordinates closely with nursing to ensure nutritional guidelines are met for specialized needs.

Resident parking and wheelchair-accessible common areas make it easy for families and friends to visit. A full-service barber and beauty shop, high-speed internet access, and on-site religious services support daily routines. Scheduled transportation is provided for medical appointments and errands, and the property is close to public transit for additional flexibility. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
