 Preserving
the dignity of our residents is paramount in importance. At Emerald
Crest, our over 30 years of experience in the senior living industry
have taught us that institutionalized living is never the
preference, and not always the answer, for seniors who need some
degree of care and assistance. A survey of Minnesota baby boomer
showed 0% want to live in a nursing home. Additionally, a review of
research papers showed the impact of group-living in comparison to a
traditional nursing home showed that overall decline in the
individuals function slowed with certain functions improving such as
emotional function. The individuals also performed better in
activities of daily living in a group living care than traditional
institutions.
Our environment is home-like.
We provide the finest individualized care in a home-like
environment. You’ll immediately notice the unique design of our
homes. Emerald Crest looks nothing like the long-hallway, high-rise
institutions many people think of when it comes to senior care. Each
residence has no more than 15 suites, most of which are private, in
order for our staff to provide the highest level of supervision,
programming and individualized care. A customized floor plan
encourages resident independence and the familiar routines of home.
We try very hard to retain a home-like atmosphere, with flowers in
the front yard, porches out back, home-style kitchens and meals,
private bedroom suites filled with personal items and a front door
for family and friends to knock on at any time, 24 hours a day.
Take
a look for yourself.
