A COMMUNITY OF COMPASSIONATE CARE

Chris Jensen Health and Rehabilitation Center provides long-term care and rehabilitative services to 205 residents.  Located in a park like setting, our facility has a long history of providing quality care to the Duluth community and surrounding areas.  Chris Jensen is owned and operated by St. Louis County and has been serving individuals in need of medical and rehabilitative services since 1969.  We strive to maximize each individual's functional independence and provide compassionate care that respects each person's unique expression of life.

Our History:

Chris Jensen Health & Rehabilitation Center has a long history of commitment to providing services and care to those in need. On this site in the early 1880's, the "poor farm" was built, housing 36 people. Warm beds and hot meals were available to those who worked with the livestock and gardens. Additions were made to the building, now "Cook Home", and in the height of the Depression it housed up to 612 people. Over the years a transition occurred. The facility no longer just provided housing, but nursing care also. A new building, Chris Jensen Nursing Home, was built on the campus as the need for nursing home beds increased. The "old" Cook Home was demolished in 1983. Chris Jensen Health & Rehabilitation Center has established itself as a leading provider of short term rehabilitation services on its specialty unit, as well as long term care. We continue to carry on the mission of St. Louis County by providing services to those in need.
