Cherrywood Advanced Living

Cherrywood Advanced Living provides assisted living with dementia care and enhanced nursing at 1889 139th Ave NW in Andover, Minnesota. Andover is one of the communities where it operates, and its care model combines supported daily living with memory care and a higher level of nursing for residents who need it. The residents this fits are older adults who need help with the routines of daily living, including people living with dementia who require a memory care setting, and people whose health calls for enhanced nursing. Having assisted living, dementia care and enhanced nursing offered by one provider means families can look at a single organization for a range of needs instead of assembling care from separate places. When comparing senior living options in the Andover area, ask precise questions. Ask which levels of care are offered at this location and whether assisted living, dementia care and enhanced nursing are all available here. Ask how a resident's needs are assessed before move-in and how often the care plan is reviewed afterward. For dementia care, ask how the memory care area is secured and how staff are trained in dementia care. For enhanced nursing, ask which nursing services are provided and who provides them. Ask what happens if a resident's needs increase beyond what the community can support, and whether that means moving to another setting. Ask to see the areas where residents live and to meet the people who would provide daily care.
