Director of Social Services

Built in 1975, Thorne Crest Senior Living Community in Albert Lea was one of the first Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRC) in Minnesota. For the past 40 years Thorne Crest has provided seniors with lifestyle choices from Independent and assisted living to skilled care and rehab. With the recent completion of an $11 million redevelopment project, the community now offers a new memory care center, wellness center with pool and locker rooms, bistro and dining room, common areas, new assisted living apartments, parking garage and much more.

The real story of Thorne Crest is told by the people who live here in the community. Community living enables residents to connect with neighbors, make new friendships or rekindle old ones, and enjoy the rewards that a lifetime of work affords you. We offer a wide variety of social activities designed to engage residents' interests, foster relationships and encourage fellowship. We understand that friends and family are important aspects in your daily life, and we encourage them to visit anytime; they are always welcomed as if they were our own.

Located in southern Minnesota, our wonderful senior living community boasts clean, safe residential streets, a vibrant downtown and a myriad of shopping and dining options. Long known as The Gateway from the South, Albert Lea is home to about twenty thousand residents and serves as a regional anchor for this part of the state.
