We provide care that closely mirrors the experience of living at home with family caregivers. Our model of care is a welcome replacement for the traditional nursing home!
In many nursing homes, a very important element has disappeared from the culture: HOME. We believe that our seniors deserve a life that is as close to home as possible. Our unique Household model of care creates “HOME” where residents experience joy, dignity, and comfort in their daily living.
| Old Institutional Way | Our Way |
| Long hallways, semi-private rooms, central dining. | Small groups of residents, all with private rooms, in Households with their own kitchens, dining rooms, fireplace living rooms and homey furnishings. |
| Everyone eats the same meals at the same time. | Residents eat what they want, when they want. Just like at home. |
| Everyone is awakened at the same time. | Residents wake up when they want to. Just like at home. |
| Low staff-to-resident ratios. | Impressive staffing ratios by the Minnesota Department of Health and Human Services. |
| Rotating staff, often supplemented with outside personnel from nursing pools. | Consistent staffing. No outside help from nursing pools. Residents and staff become family. |
| Staff plans daily resident activities. | Community Circles of residents and staff direct their life in each Household. |
