Innovative New Senior Living Campus Opening in 2013
Our $35 million dollar senior housing construction project, over a decade in the making, faced many obstacles, including a shaky economy. But in early February, the community of Anoka, MN celebrated the official start to construction of The Homestead at Anoka, a senior living campus which is part of Volunteers of America's redefined vision of senior services.

Construction has started.
The way The Homestead at Anoka is designed, residents will be able to transition through a variety of types of housing. “The
concept of this building is to create households,” said Skip Sorenson
of Pope Architects, the firm which designed The Homestead at Anoka. “As the residents age in place and need more services they can be transferred to different areas of care.” Additionally, the impressive architecture and design of The Homestead was inspired by
the character and history of nearby beautiful buildings and residential
neighborhoods.
The campus will feature 127 skilled nursing beds including transitional care, secured memory care and a rehab clinic. Also part of this first phase will be 27 independent living units with heated underground parking and 32 assisted living units. The campus’ town square will feature a club room, general store, hairstyling salon, private dining room and community room.
At
The Homestead at Anoka, seniors will be able to take comfort in knowing their needs can be met today and tomorrow, through an array of thoughtfully planned living choices.
