SENIOR HOUSING
IN THE NORTHLAND
From the Editor
by Burton Laine
I enjoy visiting the various senior
housing facilities that we have
in Northeastern Minnesota and
Northwestern Wisconsin. There
is such a wide variety, I believe
anyone can find a location that
fits their unique interests and
needs.
After a rapid expansion of senior
housing opportunities in the past
few years, 2017 was relatively
quiet. Carefree Living opened a
new assisted living in Virginia,
Minnesota and photos are
included in this story. Cook Care
Center in Cook, Minnesota built
a new skilled nursing facility.
Two projects that are ongoing
are new assisted living facilities.
Maplewoods Assisted Living
in Itasca County and Beehive
Homes Assisted Living in Duluth
will be opening new buildings
in 2018, and I look forward to
reporting on them next year.
