Hermantown – Edgewood provides both Assisted Living and Independent Living, giving residents the option to match the level of help they need without having to move elsewhere as needs change. Medical oversight covers special diets, oral diabetic management, and insulin injections, and the team is prepared to support residents who have advanced dementia conditions. An on-site podiatry service reduces the need for outside appointments and helps maintain consistent foot care for everyone, especially those with diabetes.
Direct care features include staff who remain on site through a night shift that is designated asleep but available. Residents who need help with activities of daily living can receive full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Mobility support ranges from simple standby supervision to one- and two-person transfers or use of a Hoyer lift, accommodating walkers and wheelchairs alike. These layers of support allow residents with differing physical abilities to remain in the same community safely.
Apartments vary, but many offer private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, cable connections, and the option to paint or decorate the space to personal taste. Some units include in-suite laundry equipment, while scheduled laundry service is available for those that do not. Housekeeping is provided, and residents can choose the layout and amenity mix that best fits their preferences, understanding that not every accommodation includes every listed feature.
Dining follows a set menu with the flexibility to order alternative selections at each meal. Snacks are available throughout the day, and diet modifications are implemented for medical or personal needs. Meals can be taken in the main dining area, a private dining room for family gatherings, or delivered to the apartment if in-room dining is preferred or required.
Residents have access to on-site parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, internet, communal gardens, a library, special-interest clubs, and regularly scheduled religious services. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Transportation is provided for medical appointments, shopping, and group outings, rounding out a practical set of services aimed at daily convenience.
