Independent Senior Living in Rochester, MN

A Lifestyle with Boundless Opportunity

At our Benedictine Madonna Towers independent living community in Rochester, MN, we believe that true independence comes with the freedom to live life on your own terms. That means freedom from shoveling, mowing, raking, 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?”

Even our dining options are set up to help you get more out of life. Grab a quick lunch on the way to appointments or outings in our community bistro. Dine with friends and neighbors in our restaurant-style 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 on-site should you ever need it.

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.
