Welcome to the Avinity family

Senior living communities where aging is all about living

The moment you walk through our doors you’ll sense it—a unique spirit. There’s a cozy, comfortable, family atmosphere in our senior living communities that just feels like home. You’ll find convenient services, life-enriching activities, spiritual support and personal care all under one roof.

For more than 40 years, Avinity, formerly known as Twin City Christian Homes, has been developing and managing independent senior living communities throughout the Twin Cities metropolitan area. In 2012, Avinity also expanded its independent senior living options into greater Minnesota. We combine extensive management experience with a compassionate faith-based environment to create exceptional communities where aging is all about living well. Older adults can thrive in their social, spiritual and personal lives, and their families can have the peace of mind knowing their loved ones are safe, secure and well cared for.

Inspired by God’s love, Avinity creates communities for older adults that nurture body, soul and spirit. We do that by embracing these core values:

• Excellence – we have high standards; we seek to be innovative.
• Compassion – we open our hearts to residents, caring for the whole person – body, soul and spirit.
• Respect – we hear and support the needs of others; we work to build trust.
• Integrity – we consistently adhere to high ethical standards and best practices.
• Fellowship – we encourage an inclusive, spiritual community.
• Stewardship – we use our resources prudently.

 Assisted Living

Northland Village of Buhl is an assisted living community for adults age 55+.  Northland Village offers independence, security and the comfort of knowing assistance is available from friendly, professional direct care staff on-site 24 hours per day. Residents can enjoy the privacy of their own suites as well as social activities with friends and neighbors.

Northland Village is a quaint 20 room assisted living community. We are managed by Avinity Senior Living and guided by its values of excellence, compassion, respect, integrity, fellowship and stewardship. We accept all residents, regardless of their form of payment. We have a full-time Registered Nurse on-site and available 24/7, and we also have a full-time Health and Wellness Coordinator on-site. Everyone, no matter what age, should be supported to live a full life on their terms – staying close to family and friends, being treated with respect and kindness, and having assistance when they need it. Things that are important in life vary for all of us. So we start with you. We ask what you want in an assisted living setting. Then, we do what we can to make it happen.

Enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner prepared and served daily from the home-style kitchen. Northland Village of Buhl offers a variety of recreational, religious, educational, cultural and social programs. Residents are actively involved with staff to plan activities that enhance their quality of life. Programming is designed to meet the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of the residents. On-sites church services and bible studies are offered regularly. Residents choose to participate as they desire.

Handicapped-accessible transportation can be arranged to take residents shopping, on outings to activities and events and to appointments. Buhl is located in Minnesota’s Iron Range region near the cities of Chisholm, Hibbing and Virginia. The region includes hospitals and clinics, shopping, restaurants, churches, and many recreational attractions.

Home Care Services

If you need assistance with medication, bathing, housekeeping and/or laundry, Avinity’s home care agency can help. In two of our senior living communities, Avinity provides personal care and assistance with daily living activities, such as taking medications, dressing, grooming and bathing.

Our home care services are provided by trained home health aides and supervised by licensed professionals. We conduct a complimentary initial assessment to ensure residents receive the support they need to live safely and independently in their own homes.

Each Avinity community providing home care services is registered as housing with services with the state of Minnesota and monitored by the Minnesota Department of Health.
