Affinity at Eagan is an independent-living community, so residents manage their day-to-day routines without the hands-on assistance customary in assisted living. Medical oversight is therefore designed to support an active, self-directed lifestyle rather than provide continual nursing care. Residents have access to scheduled wellness clinics, blood-pressure checks, and on-site health screenings, and each apartment is equipped with an emergency call system linked to staff who are trained to coordinate with local first-response teams. The community maintains relationships with nearby physicians, pharmacies, and rehabilitation providers, making it straightforward for residents to arrange outside medical appointments and receive follow-up care.
Beyond direct health services, Affinity at Eagan offers practical supports that reinforce residents’ ability to stay independent. Staff members help with medication reminders, transportation to medical appointments, and basic health education programs. Fitness classes, walking groups, and balance training are scheduled regularly to reduce fall risk and encourage mobility. The community also conducts periodic health seminars and vaccination clinics in cooperation with local healthcare partners, ensuring residents stay informed and up to date on preventive care.
Apartments come in multiple floor plans, and features vary by unit. Some residences include private balconies or patios, others have decks, and a selection are built with wheelchair-accessible showers. Standard utilities such as Wi-Fi and cable or satellite TV are available, and most units are air conditioned. Select apartments overlook a central fireplace lounge or the outdoor areas, and parking is offered for those who still drive. Pet-friendly options exist, but not every floor plan accommodates animals, and accessibility modifications such as wider doorways or grab bars depend on the specific unit reserved.
Dining follows an all-day model, allowing residents to eat on their own schedule rather than at set seatings. Menu planning takes into account dietary restrictions and physician-ordered guidelines, with staff monitoring nutritional intake when requested by residents or family. The kitchen prepares a rotating selection of entrees, lighter fare, and snacks, and residents can choose to eat in the dining room, take meals to go, or prepare simple items in their apartment kitchens if they prefer additional flexibility.
On-site amenities are meant to keep residents engaged physically and socially. The activity center hosts yoga and chair-yoga classes, karaoke sessions, live-music evenings, and regularly scheduled happy hours. For creative and hobby pursuits, the woodworking shop, raised garden beds, and library and computer lounge are available throughout the day. Organized clubs, dances, birthday parties, and off-site social outings help residents connect with peers, while the swimming pool and adjacent Jacuzzi provide low-impact exercise options. The community calendar is coordinated by staff, but participation levels are left entirely to each resident’s preference.
