Minnesota Masonic Home Care Center, located in Bloomington, Minnesota, is a senior care facility providing skilled nursing home services as part of the broader Minnesota Masonic Home community. The care center offers a range of services, including short-term rehabilitation, long-term skilled nursing, transitional care, and specialized memory care. It is certified by both Medicare and Medicaid. The care center supports residents’ needs through individualized care plans, offering a continuum of care from intensive medical support to personal assistance with daily living activities.
The care center provides comprehensive medical and therapeutic services. Residents have access to lymphedema treatment, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech therapy, all of which are highly regarded by many residents and their families for aiding recovery post-surgery or illness. Medication management, on-site podiatry, and regular visits from an on-site podiatrist are available, supporting residents’ health and mobility needs. The facility accepts residents with psychiatric diagnoses and supports transitions of care. Assistance is available for activities of daily living such as bathing and dressing (for those needing full assistance), as well as toileting. Eating is typically managed as a self-care activity unless more support is indicated by care plans.
In addition to medical and nursing care, Minnesota Masonic Home Care Center offers practical and personal amenities for its residents. These include a barber and beauty salon on site and meals served in communal dining areas. The facility features maintained, landscaped grounds and communal spaces designed to encourage resident engagement and socialization.
Reviews from residents and families indicate a strong reputation for the therapy services (physical, occupational, and speech therapy), facility cleanliness, quality of meals, and the supportive resident community. Families of long-term residents have reported positive experiences with some care staff, citing their responsiveness and compassion. However, other reports highlight ongoing concerns related to nursing care, including inconsistent hygiene assistance, medication errors, delayed call bell response, documentation mistakes, inadequate pain management, and communication issues among staff and administration. Difficulties during care transitions and incidents involving medication were also cited by reviewers, with some suggesting that weekend or temporary staffing may be less attentive. Reviewers generally recommend that prospective residents and their families maintain proactive communication and oversight concerning nursing care and medication handling, particularly during care transitions or after hours.
The facility remains focused on care quality and offers modern amenities, though no major changes or new developments have been noted in recent public listings as of 2023–2024.
