In-home care in Cottage Grove, Minnesota.
Much of Cottage Grove was built for families moving in, and plenty of those families never left. Staying put is the whole question here, and it is usually possible for longer than people expect.
The house somebody has already lived in for thirty years
Aging in place is a phrase everywhere else and a literal description here. The single-level layouts that suited a young family also suit somebody who would rather stop managing stairs, which is one reason care at home works well in this town.
What usually changes first is not the building but the day: getting washed and dressed, cooking something worth eating, keeping on top of medication. Those are the things worth telling us about.
There is no hospital in Cottage Grove
A discharge here is always a drive home from somewhere else, and the days straight afterwards are the ones families most often find they are not set up for. We can cover that stretch, whether what is needed is a hand with the morning or a nurse for the equipment and instructions that arrived with somebody.
Questions families ask
- Is Cottage Grove too far south for you?
- No. It is one of the five towns our caregivers and nurses travel to from the residence in Woodbury.
- Can we start with only a few hours a week?
- Yes. Schedules run from a few hours a week up to around the clock, and they change as needs change.
