Goodhue Living in Goodhue, MN, operates exclusively as an assisted-living community, offering residents daily support with personal tasks while maintaining as much independence as possible. Diabetes care is available to help residents manage blood glucose through monitoring, diet coordination, and medication assistance. On-site or visiting doctors oversee general wellness and chronic conditions, and a licensed speech therapist is on hand for residents who need help with swallowing or communication issues. The residence also welcomes respite or short-term stays, giving caregivers a break or providing temporary recovery space after a hospital discharge.
The building is equipped with an emergency alert system that allows residents to summon staff quickly, day or night. Entry points and common areas are part of a secured community design, which helps staff monitor who comes and goes and offers extra protection for residents who may be prone to wandering.
Apartments range from compact studios to larger one-bedroom layouts. Features can include individual climate control, kitchenettes for light meal preparation, wheelchair-accessible showers, and in-unit cable or high-speed Wi-Fi for personal devices.
