“Having lived in Mill City for almost 7 years, what I’m continually impressed by is the diversity—the accomplished people from every walk of life. I don’t like the assumption that my generation wants to stay out in the burbs in some withdrawn area.

That’s why this area spoke to my wife and me. It was a welcoming community, in the middle of so much to do, near our children and grandchildren. And bringing a senior community to this part of downtown is well overdue.

Abiitan will help fill that void, and the planned amenities and supportive care are especially appropriate for us. Since my wife was diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment, it’s important that we can eat well, be social and stay active all in one place.

For us, the value of aging in place can’t be overstated. Plus, we’ll be able to do it in a community that reduces isolation, has independent living, as well as care specialists, and allows us to expand our group of friends even more.”

“ I am a truly happy resident of Abiitan Mill City, a new downtown Minneapolis 55+ active adult residence. Our first rate staff operates with energy, intelligence and care. Everyone works passionately to provide a comfortable and responsive community environment. One of the highlights at Abiitan is the multitude of activities enhancing perception and experience that are offered. They are meant to meet the intellectual, cultural and physical needs of every resident. On site, you will also find a well-regarded restaurant/cafe and a fitness center, each serving not just residents but the entire downtown community. That’s what’s really great about Abiitan too, it is a place for the entire community to enjoy and participate in. Abiitan is for everyone. And, all important, at Abiitan you will find lovely residents extending old friendships and adding new. Will you join me and the other residents for a lecture on China, a film, a concert, a dinner together or a tour of the State Capitol?- Diane Robinson”
