Prelude Memory Care Cottages in Woodbury, Minnesota provides both Assisted Living and Memory Care, concentrating on residents who need close monitoring and specialized support. The community is equipped to manage elopement risks, behavioral challenges, nighttime wakefulness, oxygen therapy, younger residents under 60, and diabetic care for both oral medication and insulin injections. Staff are trained to care for individuals with advanced dementia, ensuring their safety while maintaining as much independence as possible.
Clinical oversight is reinforced by an RN or LPN on-site, a registered nurse on call around the clock, and an awake night shift. Background-checked team members monitor secured doors, fenced outdoor areas, and in-room pull cords and PERS units that link directly to staff. Residents have access to podiatry, audiology, a therapy room, and psychiatric consultation without leaving the building. Full assistance is available for bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and the staff can handle transfers ranging from simple walker support to two-person or Hoyer lift moves for bed-bound residents.
Accommodation options include suites with private bathrooms, individual temperature controls, and cable connections, along with regular housekeeping and scheduled laundry services. Not every unit includes every feature, so families should confirm specific room details during a visit.
Meals are prepared with both set menus and made-to-order selections. The kitchen can modify diets for puree, thickened liquids, vegetarian choices, and general nutritional management, and snacks are offered throughout the day.
Residents also benefit from wheelchair-accessible common areas, an on-site barber and beauty shop, a wellness center, landscaped communal gardens, and regularly scheduled religious services.
