Castle Ridge, located in Eden Prairie, MN, is a new assisted living community that recently opened its doors to residents. The residents of Castle Ridge were the first to move into the new assisted living apartments and care center suites at Flagstone, the newest Presbyterian Homes & Services community in the Twin Cities area. The move-in day was a special one, with residents being greeted with cheering staff and a red carpet at the entrance of the care center.
One of the residents, Flo Baillargeon, who has been living at Castle Ridge since 2018, expressed her excitement about the new community. She mentioned that her new suite is much bigger and nicer, with high ceilings and bright windows that provide ample natural light. The spacious corner suite overlooks Purgatory Creek, giving residents a peaceful view. Flo was delighted with the new furniture and the opportunity to add her personal touches to make it feel like home.
Flagstone, part of a master planned redevelopment, offers a full range of housing and care options for older adults in the southwestern Twin Cities metro area. The community was designed with amenities such as a Town Center, where residents can enjoy various activities and services. Castle Ridge, which was acquired by PHS in 2003, will eventually be demolished to make way for new components of the master plan.
Overall, Castle Ridge has been a home to older adults for over 40 years, and it has been a place of ministry and service by a dedicated team of PHS employees and volunteers. The opening of Flagstone marks a new chapter in the community's history, offering modern living options for seniors in a welcoming and caring environment. Residents like Flo are enjoying the new accommodations and are looking forward to making lasting memories in their new home at Castle Ridge.
