Meadow Lakes Senior Living in Rochester, MN provides both Assisted Living and Memory Care, allowing residents to transition smoothly as needs change. The community is equipped to support individuals who wander—whether that occurs in the morning, evening, or throughout the night—and it can accommodate residents who stay awake overnight. Care teams are trained to work with advanced dementia, and registered or licensed practical nurses are on-site around the clock, with an awake night-shift in place to monitor safety and health.
Beyond daily oversight, residents have access to a broad range of on-site medical services. These include specialized memory care programming, incontinence management, ambulatory support, medication management, hospice coordination, and therapy services from occupational, physical, and podiatric specialists. An optometrist and dentist visit regularly, and the community is physically designed to reduce confusion for those with memory loss. Staff can provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, matching help to each resident’s documented care plan.
Apartments offer practical features such as kitchenettes and cable service, and regular housekeeping is included. Not every unit contains every listed feature, so prospective residents should verify specific layouts and amenities during a tour. The property is wheelchair accessible throughout, making it easier for residents to move between their living spaces and communal areas.
Dining services emphasize flexibility and safety. Three daily meals are prepared on-site, and caregivers can provide full assistance during mealtimes when needed. In-room dining is available for residents who prefer or require it, ensuring that nutritional needs are met even on days when leaving the apartment is challenging.
Residents can take advantage of a barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, internet access, and landscaped communal gardens. Pets are allowed, which can be a welcome source of comfort and routine; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
