AboutBirchwood Cottages
Birchwood Cottages specializes in memory care, providing assisted living services in an enhanced care home-like setting. Our first building opened in December of 2015, nestled in a lovely residential area of Owatonna. The campus grew with the addition of a second building in June of 2017. Birchwood Cottages expanded again the following year to North Mankato, again building in a beautiful residential area. We are family-owned and operated with strong community ties. We are dedicated to making a positive difference for our residents, for our team members and for our greater communities.

What people
are saying about us:
Birchwood has been such a blessing to our family! This has been our grandma’s new home for the past year now since we moved her to Minnesota. They keep her active with fun community activities, are always helpful when scheduling visits and virtual calls, and the staff are some of the kindest people you’ll meet. This team goes above and beyond for their residents everyday!
