Planning future housing needs for loved ones is a smart decision and makes the transition smooth when the time comes. The Family Residence encourages you to tour our facility and meet our staff.
Our entire care team are trained in dementia and Alzheimer's care and are overseen by a Registered Nurse who is available 24 hours a day. The Family Residence seeks to promote aging in place for seniors, including those dealing with all levels of memory care issues, in a small home like setting in Northfield, MN. We are a fantastic option for personalized memory care. We are a family owned company who believe in promoting wellness, socialization and community connections to help individuals maintain their highest level of functioning. We believe in providing exceptional care to our older generation and treating them with the dignity and respect they deserve. In our home everyone is family!
Typical staffing ratio is 1 staff member per 6 residents. RN and LPN are additional staff and are on site 40 hours a week and available 24/7. Daily assistance with grooming, activities of daily living and bathing are provided. 3 nutritious meals and healthy snacks are offered daily. Laundry and cleaning service is included. We partner with Twin Cities Physician Group who offer onsite primary care for each resident. We partner with hospice groups to provide end of life care in our home so your loved one does not need to be moved at this delicate time.
Every resident and staff member is treated like family and we strive to create an environment that feels like home. We believe spontaneity is important to keeping cognitive function fresh and we bring elements of this into the home. It is common to see well behaved animals in the residence as well as young students who bring a light and energy. Our life enrichment activities are community based and revolve around music, art and adaptive exercise to name a few.
We provide calm and consistent care and we are intentional with all that we do. We never fall into a pattern with our activities. Our home was designed to be accessible as well as aesthetically pleasing. Each resident has a private bedroom and the option for private or semi private bath. Residents can enjoy common areas that promote inclusiveness as well as areas specially designed for quiet.
We believe in supporting and promoting the whole person at The Family Residence. We care for the body by providing a whole food and nutritious diet sourced locally. Our activities encourage movement and exercise to keep the physical body active. We support the mind by striving to maintain the current level of cognition through spontaneous enrichment and socialization and through technology. The spirit is acknowledged through honoring each residents belief system and supporting that through prayer, meditation, music and spiritual services.
