About the facility
Birchwood Cottages - Owatonna

Specializing in memory care, Birchwood Cottages is nestled in a vibrantly green area with suburban vibes in Owatonna, Minnesota. Feel at ease knowing the community is less than 40 miles west of the Mayo Clinic. Additionally, it is within 10 miles of a hospital affiliated with the Mayo Clinic Health System. Just south of downtown, seniors can attend the annual county fair, visit a museum, or dine at a variety of restaurants.

Activities are tailored to each senior’s likes and dislikes from baking club to rolling out a putting green to practice on. Raised garden beds allow every senior to get their hands dirty by growing vegetables and flowers in the communal gardens. Relax in the gated courtyard underneath the white pergola where vibrant lawns surround the paved paths leading up to the patio. The open-concept kitchen allows seniors to socialize and grab a bite to eat freely.

Trained on-site caregivers provide round-the-clock care under the supervision of a registered nurse. With motion sensors, surveillance, and a controlled access building, safety is a priority at Birchwood Cottages. Depending on each senior’s needs and preferences, residents have an option of homey private or semi-private bedrooms. Your loved one will remain warm and comfortable...

Quality of Life
I wish we had moved my mom here years earlier. I see photos of her and she is dressed up like her old self and her hair is combed nicely. They have good activities, even if she is not actually participating she is sitting at the table interacting with the other residents. They have a Facebook page for families to be able to see their loved ones. The staff is friendly and pro active and seem to enjoy their jobs.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Memory Care. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know Minnesota’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about Minnesota’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
