Okalee of Medina in Medina, MN offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, giving residents the option to choose a level of support that fits their needs. The Memory Care program accepts individuals with advanced dementia conditions and provides structured oversight for safety and engagement. Residents who require Diabetes Care receive routine monitoring and coordination with outside providers for medication, nutrition, and blood-glucose checks.

On-site clinical resources include visiting podiatry services and a dedicated therapy room for physical, occupational, or speech rehabilitation. Staff can furnish full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and they are trained to provide every level of transfer support—from standby help and walker guidance to two-person or Hoyer-lift transfers for bed-bound residents. Wheelchair users are accommodated throughout the building.

Apartments are offered in several configurations; many include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, cable access, and in-unit laundry. Residents may personalize their space with paint or décor if desired. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are available for those units that do not have their own washer and dryer. Not every accommodation contains every feature, so families should confirm specific apartment details during a tour.

Meals are prepared daily with a set menu, but on-order entrées are also available. Snacks are stocked throughout the day, and room-service trays can be sent for anyone who prefers to eat in their apartment. A private dining room can be reserved for family gatherings, and the culinary team manages physician-ordered diet modifications such as low-sodium, diabetic, or mechanical-soft plans. Independent-living tenants on campus can opt into medication-management monitoring, housekeeping, laundry, and a monthly meal plan that allows them to dine in the same restaurant-style venue as Assisted Living residents.

Community amenities include resident parking, outside smoking areas, and full wheelchair accessibility. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Additional features range from a barber/beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, and wellness center to high-speed internet access, a library, communal gardens, stair glide, pool, special-interest clubs, and on-site religious services. A concierge helps schedule local transportation for medical appointments, shopping, and social outings.
