Meet Greenwood Connections!
Green Pine Acres Nursing Home originated in the mind of the Menahga Development Corporation in the early 1960s. They took the initial steps of purchasing property, hiring an architect and organizing the project. They donated the land and information to the City of Menahga for the actual building and operation.
Green Pine Acres was opened for residents on May 1, 1965, licensed by the Minnesota Department of Health as an Intermediate I facility. Today, it is still owned and operated by the City of Menahga as a non-profit governmental unit with 65 Medicare/Medicaid-certified beds.
A Transitional Care Unit, for short term stays, was opened in 2018 adding an additional 10,000 square feet and 16 private rooms with built in cabinetry, flat screen TVs and private showers. The new addition not only has new rooms, but a new therapy room and additional sitting/common areas as well. The whole addition for short term stay has a very warm atmosphere and is said to feel like "staying in a nice hotel." The existing building was renovated/remodeled to create 41 private rooms and 8 double rooms along with additional common areas as well. All of the double rooms have been renovated and have new flooring and paint and all of the private rooms have been remodeled to allow a comfortable private space, built in cabinetry and flat screen TVs.
In 1996, Woodside Manor Assisted Living was developed. Woodside Manor has thirty-one, one-bedroom apartments and six, two-bedroom apartments, totaling 37 apartments. Also that year, Menahga Home Health came into being. At this same time, Green Pine Acres Adult Day Services also came into being, providing services for the surrounding community. Also in 1996, we added the name “Greenwood Connections” as the umbrella organization name for all four entities. The rehab department has been expanded to provide extensive physical, occupational and speech therapy. Services include short-term Medicare A or Medicare B services following surgery for joint repair, gait training, reactivating fine motor skills, strengthening therapy, and speech and swallowing therapy. These are available as both inpatient and outpatient services.
An adjoining park has been developed on approximately three acres with over 2200 linear feet of sidewalk, three gazebos, twelve park benches, an underground sprinkling system and a 30-foot-diameter fountain. This project has been funded by donations from local individuals, businesses, clubs, relatives or friends of residents and memorials.
Our staff is the backbone of great care for you and your loved ones.
Greenwood Conncetions provides Alzheimer's/Dementia training upon hire and annually for all staff.
