Edgewood Brainerd is the best senior living (just blocks) west of the Mississippi! Edgewood Brainerd provides great views of a beautiful wooded neighborhood in prime Minnesota lakes country, but the views aren’t the only perk; our community offers a truly carefree, relaxed lifestyle. Edgewood Brainerd Assisted Living and Memory Care community ensures that you or your loved one have access to the perfect combination of home-like, convenient services and amenities plus well-trained, dedicated staff available to support all your daily needs. Our residents even have the opportunity to utilize on-site Therapy Services provided by Edgewood’s healthcare services division, CaringEdge.
We know home isn’t a place as much as it is a feeling, and we can help ease your mind and create the connections that will make Edgewood home. Our Assisted Living offers gracious living spaces with sun-filled rooms and remarkable amenities, plus the people to provide the care you need, when you need it. The notion of moving out of the place you’ve called home for 10, 20 or even 50 years is a difficult and scary thought, but with our friendly faces and warm environments we can help you make your home right here.
Edgewood’s Memory Care residents live as independently as possible within a smaller, more comfortable environment. Our communities are designed to feel like any cozy home; there are spaces to gather, socialize and relax with family and friends. Our communities are designed to simulate the comfort, sounds, smells and feeling of home that ignite our residents’ long-term memories to bring them joy and contentment.
No detail is too small, and while we offer soothing room colors and décor throughout, residents are encouraged to bring their own special pictures, furniture and treasures to make their apartment home.
Our open floor plan allows residents to see every area of their home without having to open doors or walk long hallways. The open concept provides clarity and prompts them to interact with their surroundings and new friends, keeping them engaged, which reduces wandering, behaviors and depression while promoting physical and social well-being.
Alzheimer’s and memory loss affect everyone differently. Our staff-to-resident ratio allows us to provide personal attention and help residents maintain daily living skills. That’s coupled with ongoing training for our staff to understand the conditions and challenges associated with this illness.
Edgewood staff members reaffirm what residents do remember, to help improve self-esteem and reinforce positive experiences. Residents may also assist staff in activities such as meal preparation, cleanup, folding laundry and other tasks to help them enjoy the community feeling.
Short-Term Stays are exactly what they say they are: brief, overnight stays in a fully-furnished Assisted Living or Memory Care apartment. Stays can be as short as 24 hours or up to several months, and may be for a family member or yourself. If you are a caregiver to a family member, a short-term stay might be just the thing to remove worry and allow you to take that long overdue vacation. Maybe you are preparing for or recovering from surgery, or are considering a move to Assisted or Independent Living but are not ready to commit to a move. Either for a family member while you’re away, or yourself when you need a little extra help, a short-term stay might be right for you. Knowing that Edgewood has more than 20 years of expertise in operating Short-Term Stay programs means you can remove the worry and stay with us.
The unique combination of Edgewood’s housing, healthcare and comfortable amenities can truly make a difference in the life of you and your family. Our approach offers a continuum of care, with services customized for each individual’s needs. Residents can live as independently as they choose and still receive the care they choose, when they need it. Our team members are dedicated to your well-being and can provide a range of support.
