Valley’s location on 42nd Street (south of the Alerus Center) offers a full continuum of care. Many of our residents enjoy the fact that, if their spouse needs a higher level of care than they do, the couple can live separately but under the same roof. So, one spouse might choose an assisted living apartment at Wheatland Terrace while their spouse lives at Hearthstone memory care just a short walk away without ever having to go outside. The spouses can still enjoy meals and time together while allowing the more independent person to just enjoy the time spent with their spouse instead of having to serve as a caregiver for complex needs.
Potential residents of Wheatland Terrace assisted living must pass a nurse’s screening to ensure they can live independently in their apartment with nursing support. If one spouse is a primary caregiver and ends up hospitalized, the second spouse must be able to live on their own in the Wheatland Terrace apartment or he or she would be considered a vulnerable adult by the state of North Dakota. For that reason, unless both spouses can live independently in the apartment, some may need to consider living at different levels of care, in different apartments, but under the same roof here at Valley on 42nd Street.
