Landsmeer Ridge is owned and operated by Orange City Area Health System. Landsmeer is designed to support and assist residents in maintaining an active, independent, and healthy lifestyle. The hallways have handrails on both sides, and the carpets do not have padding underneath them to promote better safety for those with unstable gait or who shuffle while walking. Each apartment has two urgent call stations, with the option to also have a wearable call pendant, and annual flu shots are scheduled on-site. There is an awake staff on duty 24 hours a day, and the manager is an RN who can provide guidance regarding health concerns and answer questions.
If a resident needs to move to a different level of living assistance, they have priority admission at Prairie Ridge Care Center, located next door. Prairie Ridge Care Center is an 89-bed skilled nursing facility with an 11-bed memory care cottage.
Independent Living at Landsmeer
The Independent Living wing at Landsmeer Ridge comprises 36 apartments that have been thoughtfully designed for maximum comfort and privacy. Originally built with 20 apartments, it has been expanded twice due to high demand. There are four sizes of apartments available, each with its patio, individually controlled central heating/air conditioning, and emergency call stations. Although the apartments are unfurnished, they come with fully equipped kitchens that include a stove, refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher (residents may choose to have it replaced with a matching cabinet-drawer unit), and garbage disposal. Furthermore, each apartment has a walk-in closet and two other closets. While every apartment has a designated space for a stackable washer/dryer unit, the Independent Living area also has two laundry rooms with two washers and dryers available to residents at no charge.
Assisted Living
The Assisted Living area of the building is specifically designed to offer residents independence with a little extra help. Two types of Assisted Living apartments are available - studio alcove and one bedroom - both carefully designed for freedom and convenience.
Each apartment features individually controlled central heating/air conditioning and emergency call stations. Though unfurnished, they have kitchenettes complete with a small refrigerator, sink, and microwave. Additionally, each apartment boasts two closets.
The assisted living apartments provide a comfortable home environment with the support needed to remain independent and active. Residents can enjoy three nutritious meals daily, cable TV, wireless internet, hallway handrails, handicapped assistive features, weekly light housekeeping, weekly flat linen service, 24-hour awake staff, in-apartment emergency call transmitters, an RN in the building weekdays, scheduled transportation, and activities planned. Professional toe-trimming services are provided on a scheduled basis. Assistance with dressing, bathing, medication reminders, bed-making, personal laundry for an added charge, and general household tasks is also available. A laundry facility is also available for residents to do their own personal laundry if preferred.
