Johanna Shores in Arden Hills, MN, offers assisted-living care designed to support residents who can benefit from readily available help while maintaining as much independence as possible. A key component of the community’s health program is diabetes management; trained staff monitor blood glucose, assist with insulin administration if needed, and coordinate closely with residents’ physicians to keep individual care plans current. Regular health assessments, medication management, and 24-hour access to caregivers ensure that changes in condition are noted promptly.
Beyond direct medical oversight, the team assists with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, mobility, and personal hygiene. Safety measures include emergency call systems and routine wellness checks. The staff schedules transportation for medical appointments and arranges on-site therapy or home health visits when prescribed, helping residents maintain continuity of care without unnecessary disruption.
Resident accommodations feature indoor common areas where individuals can relax, meet visitors, or join neighbors for informal gatherings and scheduled programs. Private and companion suites are available, each with basic safety features, but not all units include every optional amenity; prospective residents should review floor plans to confirm specific details that match their preferences.
Meals are prepared and served daily in a shared dining space, with menus planned to support balanced nutrition and accommodations for specialized diets, including carbohydrate-controlled options for those managing diabetes. Residents who prefer to dine in their rooms can request tray service, though availability varies by unit type and service plan, so confirming these arrangements in advance is advised.
On-site activities give residents structured opportunities for social connection and physical engagement without leaving the campus. The programming calendar changes regularly, offering choices such as group exercises, educational talks, and hobby sessions to promote an active routine.
