Edgewood Senior Living in Baxter offers assisted living for residents who want support with daily tasks while still maintaining as much independence as possible. The care team is equipped to manage diabetes through routine monitoring and medication oversight, ensuring blood-sugar levels stay within physician-directed targets. No specialized dementia programming is provided, so the focus remains on meeting the needs of residents without memory-related conditions.
Additional clinical support is available around the clock. An awake night-shift staff monitors residents, responds to call systems, and carries out scheduled care tasks. On-site services include incontinence and ambulatory care, as well as coordination with outside providers for memory care when needed. Care Innovations—Skynet Technology and an electronic Medication Administration Record help reduce errors and allow real-time tracking of doctor’s orders. The team also assists with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting for residents who need some physical help. Medication coordination and full medication management are handled by trained staff, so prescriptions are ordered, stored, and administered on schedule.
Accommodations at Edgewood Senior Living range from private to companion suites. Some living spaces feature direct access to outdoor areas for fresh air and seasonal activities, while select units offer a fireplace that adds extra warmth during Minnesota winters. Because layouts and features vary, not every accommodation includes all available options, and prospective residents should confirm details during a visit.
Dining is handled on-site with three daily meals included in the monthly fee. Menus are designed to meet nutritional guidelines and can be modified to fit physician-ordered diets, including diabetic requirements. Snacks and beverages are available between meals, and staff can provide assistance for residents who need help cutting food or managing utensils.
Residents can stay active in the community’s wellness center, use high-speed internet to keep in touch with family, and enjoy a quiet afternoon in the library. Special interest clubs—such as book discussions, walking groups, and hobby circles—offer additional social opportunities and let residents pursue personal interests without leaving the property.
