Overview

Mission

Operation of hospital, skilled nursing facility, and senior housing.

What it reported doing in 2009

Senior Housing: North Country Health Services operates a 27 unit memory care facility and an 80 unit catered living apartment complex. The memory care facility opened in September, 2009 and the catered living complex opened in November, 2009. Lack of accessibility to facilities with comprehensive memory care services was identified as a community need in the Bemidji area. North Country Health Services chose to provide a facility for the resident population living with dementia issues. The memory care and assisted living facilities were constructed to be physically attached to the existing nursing home which is in close proximity to the sole community hospital and clinic. This model provides easy access to the whole spectrum of health care services to the elderly. The WoodsEdge Senior Living Campus furthers our mission to offer a full continuum of care throughout a patient's life.
