Knute Nelson Senior Living: More Than Just a Nursing Home

Enriching lives with a full continuum of living options

With over 75 years of life-enriching services, our Knute Nelson family proudly supports the full continuum of care for those we serve. These services range from short-term rehab to senior living and everything in between. At the same time, we understand that the full breadth of our offerings may not be clear to those who are new to Knute Nelson.

That’s why we’ve broken down the need-to-know below. As you read, you’ll notice our mission woven throughout each offering: to enrich the lives of everyone we serve. Ultimately, these living options extend well beyond traditional long-term care alone. 

Worry-free senior living

Our 55+ senior living communities empower residents to enjoy a socially connected environment without the hassles of home. In the process, we take the burdens of mowing, landscaping, shoveling, and much more off your hands. Additionally, we enable couples to continue living together. If one spouse requires regular care, our home health care team can provide skilled nursing, physical, occupational, or speech therapy, chronic illness management and more within the apartment.

From private decks to in-home laundry and beyond, our accommodations are rooted in comfort and convenience. Meanwhile, our social programs and events are a testament to our core value of community engagement.

Compassionate assisted living and enhanced assisted living

As everyday tasks begin to challenge your independence, our award-winning assisted living options are here to help. Whether that’s the nourishment of daily meals or the assurance of our 24/7 on-site staff, we offer invaluable peace of mind tailored to your needs.

With the same core values, our enhanced assisted living bridges the gap between a familiar household setting and personalized care. In turn, we support daily tasks like dressing, skilled care such as disease management, regularly scheduled well-being activities, and more.

Through each of these options, our on-site conveniences are within easy reach. From restaurant dining to beauty and barbershop services, everything you need to thrive is right here.

State-of-the-art memory care

As a loved one struggles with dementia or memory loss, our award-winning memory care communities ensure physical, emotional, and spiritual support. Meanwhile, we nurture an environment centered on our core value of customer well-being.

Our memory care includes reassurance and comfort, stimulating activities, support for daily tasks, and much more.

Dedicated long-term care

As you seek out local long-term care for yourself or a loved one, our Knute Nelson family extends a warm helping hand. Our highly-trained team is well-versed in the full spectrum of skilled care, including complex medication management, incontinence care, chronic illness management, and more.

In keeping with our Christian heritage, we also ensure that bible study and worship services are readily available for those we support. These are just a few of the ways we help our residents live each day to the fullest.

Uplifting short-term rehab

After an injury, illness, or surgery, your progress becomes our priority. Through our short-term rehab services, we strive to restore your independence. Our experienced physical, occupational, and speech therapists are here to facilitate a smooth and productive recovery.

Meanwhile, our skilled nurses address everything from wound care to daily living support. Through a joint rehab and care team, we maintain a holistic view of your health. Our goal is always to put the best possible outcome within reach.
