Lakeside Oasis End-of-Life Care
The end-of-life comfort care wing at Lake Ridge Care Center in Buffalo, Minnesota, opened in July 2014 for patients and families in Wright County.
Comfort, dignity, and family support
A comfort care wing in Wright County
Lakeside Oasis is the first care unit of its type in Wright County. It was created to give patients and their families a calm, supported setting for end-of-life care close to home.
The Community Health Foundation of Wright County raises funds to support the wing, both for its construction and for ongoing operational costs. Community fundraising and local partnerships have carried the project forward since it opened in July 2014.

The Community Health Foundation works alongside local healthcare partners to ensure this resource remains available to those who need it most. By supporting the wing's ongoing operational needs, the foundation helps maintain a calm, home-like atmosphere where patients can spend their final days surrounded by loved ones rather than in a clinical setting. This project reflects the broader mission of creating healthier, more informed communities throughout the region.
