Havenwood of Burnsville offers Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care under one roof, making it possible for residents to stay in the same community even as needs change. The Memory Care program accepts residents with early to advanced dementia and is prepared for behaviors such as wandering in the morning or evening, exit-seeking, or staying up all night. Nurses monitor oxygen use, special diets, and diabetic care for residents on either oral medications or insulin injections.

Clinical oversight is reinforced by an RN or LPN on staff and a nurse on call 24 hours a day. All employees pass background checks, and an awake night staff provides continuous observation. Apartments are equipped with pull-cords and personal emergency response systems that alert staff, and the rear grounds are fenced to reduce elopement risk. Residents have on-site access to podiatry, audiology, and a therapy room, which limits the need for outside appointments. Full assistance is available for bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and staff can manage transfers ranging from standby supervision to two-person support for wheelchair users.

Most apartments include a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the freedom to paint or decorate, though not every unit has every feature. Some residences also offer in-unit laundry, while others rely on scheduled laundry services handled by staff. Daily housekeeping keeps rooms tidy.

Dining choices start with a set menu but allow ordering from an alternative list at each meal. Meals can be taken in the dining room, delivered to the apartment, or enjoyed in a private dining room with family. Snacks are available throughout the day. The kitchen staff can accommodate physician-ordered diet modifications, including low-sugar, low-salt, puree, or thickened-liquid textures. Independent Living residents may select housekeeping, laundry, and a monthly meal plan as optional services.

Residents have access to reserved parking, an exercise room, movie room, wellness center, library, beauty salon, internet, communal gardens, and on-site religious services. Special-interest clubs and a concierge help residents stay socially involved. Transportation is available through a scheduled shuttle for medical appointments. Smoking is permitted outdoors, and small pets are welcome; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
