Our memory care community, Temperance Lake Ridge, is exclusively dedicated to providing care for seniors living with Alzheimer’s or other dementia.
Our community offers both private and dual occupancy apartments that are bright, beautiful, and are designed to be like home. We also feature a lovely outdoor courtyard where residents can breathe fresh air and take in the wonderful Minnesota seasons.
One of the best advantages of living in our community is the care of our residents and the support we give to their families. Supportive services are available 24 hours a day, to meet scheduled and unscheduled needs, in a way that promotes maximum dignity and independence for each resident and involves the resident’s family, neighbors, and friends.
Temperance Lake Ridge understands the special needs of those with memory loss. Our 14-suite memory care neighborhood is just the right size enabling our designated caregivers the opportunity to get to know and understand each of our residents personally and compassionately. We understand the uniqueness of each resident and what creating special days for them truly means.
