Respecting Individuality, Empowering Independence

When the effects of aging or chronic illness make daily living activities a challenge and threaten to diminish independence, senior assisted living at Benedictine communities can help. Our teams provide respectful, dignified care based on individual needs and preferences, with the goal of empowering each resident’s maximum level of independence.

Benedictine’s assisted living communities offer a variety of private apartments ranging from studio styles to 1- or 2-bedroom options.

Most include full baths and kitchens or kitchenettes. Our professional staff of nurses and other qualified caregivers provides personalized services ranging from light daily tasks to assistance with mobility, dressing, bathing and grooming. Medication management and medical assistance are available, as are spiritual care, recreational and social activities, and transportation. With assisted living, you can continue to enjoy independence, while also giving yourself and your family the priceless gift of peace of mind.

With more than 30 communities in five Upper Midwest states — Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota and Wisconsin — you’re likely to find a Benedictine Living Community near you.
