About Northern Lakes Senior Living

Northern Lakes Senior Living is an assisted living and memory care community in Baxter, Minnesota, offering personalized care for older adults with varying levels of need. The community operates under Ebenezer values and provides services ranging from independent living with optional support to comprehensive memory care and end-of-life services.

The community offers 42 assisted living apartments and 26 memory care apartments with different floor plans. Assisted living residents can access home healthcare services from the community's skilled team, while memory care residents benefit from personalized care plans designed for individuals with dementia in a supportive environment. Northern Lakes uses the Dimensions Program, a person-centered approach that creates individualized care plans in a calming atmosphere rather than applying one-size-fits-all solutions.

Residents enjoy chef-prepared meals served restaurant-style and can participate in daily activities and social gatherings in the community's lovely gathering spaces. The facility is situated near the Paul Bunyan Trail and offers access to the broader Baxter and Brainerd lakes area. On-site medical services are available through a partnership with an internal medicine physician specializing in geriatrics who provides care in residents' apartments.

The community maintains a family-like culture with staff members who invest in knowing each resident's individual stories and needs. Northern Lakes is managed by Ebenezer, Minnesota's largest senior living operator and part of Fairview Health Services, which brings over 100 years of experience serving older adults.
