The Glenn Minnetonka in Minnetonka, MN is designed primarily for residents who need assisted living. In addition to daily personal support, the community accepts short-term respite stays, making it an option for family caregivers who need temporary relief or for older adults recovering from an illness or procedure. Focused diabetes management is available, including monitoring, medication assistance, and meal planning that supports glucose control.
On-site medical services help residents remain at the community even as needs change. Licensed nurses are on duty for routine assessments, medication management, and coordination with outside physicians. Specialized memory care areas are set up to accommodate residents living with cognitive decline, and staff trained in dementia techniques provide regular cueing and redirection. Podiatry visits take place in-house, while incontinence and ambulatory care programs address mobility and personal hygiene challenges. Laundry and dry-cleaning services are handled by staff to reduce physical strain on residents.
Apartments range from studio and efficiency layouts to larger floor plans. Features such as kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, private bathrooms, cable, central air, and in-unit washer and dryer are available in select units, but not every apartment includes every feature. Wheelchair-accessible showers, pet-friendly policies, and parking are offered, and common spaces include outdoor gardens, a library with computer lounge, and several seating areas. Housekeeping is provided on a scheduled basis to keep residences clean and safe.
Dining is included in the monthly fee, with three meals served each day from a set menu and optional snacks between meals. The culinary staff can adjust meals for diabetic, low-sodium, or other physician-ordered diets, and they coordinate closely with the nursing team to ensure dietary changes match medical needs. Mealtimes are served restaurant-style in the main dining room, and residents may request tray service in their apartment when recovering from illness.
Residents can stay socially and physically active through the on-site activity center, regular TV and movie nights, clubs, bingo games, arts and crafts workshops, and scheduled social outings to nearby shops and attractions. Health and wellness programs, including exercise classes and educational sessions, are offered throughout the week to support strength, balance, and cognitive engagement.
