Independent Living in Garrison, ND for Seniors and Veterans
Enjoy the comforts of home while leaving chores and home maintenance to us.
At Benedictine The Meadows in Garrison, ND, we believe you can’t truly have independence without freedom — from shoveling, mowing and raking to fixing, cleaning and cooking. So go ahead, pursue a new interest or take an extended trip to see family and friends while we take care of all the chores. We believe the most difficult question you should have to answer is “What new and interesting thing do I want to do today?”

Live Your Way
Even our dining options are designed to help you get more out of life. Join friends and savor a home-cooked meal in our cozy dining room. Or cook for yourself — even host a dinner party — and enjoy an evening at home. Our senior living community helps you live your way with the security of knowing health care is available onsite should you ever need it.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if independent senior living is the right choice?
Independent Senior Living is ideal for people who can still live independently, but need extra assistance with daily tasks such as taking medication, bathing, dressing, making meals, housekeeping, transportation and other everyday needs. Our trained, caring staff members provide individualized support designed to help each resident maintain their highest level of independence. For more information, read our blog post, When is Independent Senior Living Needed?
How does independent senior living differ from skilled nursing?
Skilled nursing offers a higher level of medical care, usually for people who have numerous, ongoing health care requirements. Independent senior living is intended for people who are generally able to care for themselves except for a few activities with which they require help — for example, preparing meals, bathing, dressing, or performing household chores. Assisted living is also helpful for people who are sometimes confused or experiencing memory problems. For more information, read our blog post, Independent Senior Living: A Closer Look.
How do I talk with my parent about moving to independent senior living?
Talking with a parent about moving to a senior living community can be difficult. That’s why we’ve put together a helpful blog post, Talking With a Parent About Transitioning to Senior Living, with advice on how to approach this important conversation. Once a decision has been made, you can help make your parent’s transition smoother. You’ll find some helpful tips in our blog post, Easing the Transition to Senior Housing.
Can I have guests and visitors in independent senior living?
Your guests — grandchildren, family and friends — are always welcome to visit you in your home. They’re also more than welcome to enjoy our recreational facilities, amenities, activities and dining venues with you while visiting. Some Benedictine living communities also offer guest rooms that can be reserved and rented for visiting family members and friends.
Can independent senior living residents bring a car?
While residents may bring a car, our communities provide transportation options that make a car unnecessary.
