My Mom was in the hurt bag before she moved into Legacy. She's come a long way in the time she has been there. It hasn't always been smooth sailing, but our family is very happy she is at Legacy.
I love the location. My daughter lives in Bryn Mawr (where I grew up) and I have two other children in Minneapolis. I am lucky to have a Southwest corner location and I can see planes flying in from the...
We chose Global pointe because it was the best fit for the care needs of my parents. The staff is very friendly and the team works hard to train and retain staff.
I'm sorry my mother didn't live longer to enjoy living there. She had just been there a little over two months and she died. I thought the facility was wonderful very professionally run and clean. The staff...
I like that she has the option to get meals there and that 10 dinners are included in the rent. My mom really appreciates all activities. When she moved in, she sold her car, so having the van is important....
Good people, making many new friends! The Lodge has a nice mix of activities and events. The residents (at least those who choose to be involved) have a lot of input about the events, or in many instances,...
I have a lovely apartment. Maintenance is right here, if needed. The staff is friendly and professional. For the most part, they know each of us by sight and name. I have a well stocked kitchen if I chose to...
They are friendly and helpful. I don't know about the food, even the basics seem like very poor execution. No flavor and overly salty, it even looks unappetizing. The activities never seem to change, just...
My loved one is a resident at Waterford Estates and Manor. The staff is very friendly and helpful. My loved one says that the meals are great and that the kitchen staff is very accommodating. I would...
The staff are very helpful and friendly. Everyone I've talked to who lives here love the place! I'm pretty much caring for my Mom. I'm here every day. She's in Independent-plus meaning they check on her...
My loved one was previously a resident at Havenwood of Richfield and the overall experience was okay. The cleanliness and friendliness was good. The staff, care services and meals were good. Based on our...
I appreciate the many amenities including dining (10 meals per month), a lively social program, 24 hr concierge, excellent management and staff. Facility is well maintained.
The Harbors is a lot better than the last place my mom was in. However, the communication is spotty at best once you get into the facility. Showers are not often enough (my mom went over a week and her hair...
Environment, staff and food are all great! Onboarding was bumpy, and like any place, lots of kinks to work out in the first few months. Chose the facility for its location, price and availability of the room
Everyone at Cardigan Ridge Senior Living was very friendly and helpful, my dad was very comfortable there. He especially liked [name removed], at the front desk. I would definitely recommend Cardigan Ridge...
Bel Rae is a great place. Very responsive and helpful nursing staff. I would tell others just how friendly the staff is. How clean everything is. Seems more like a fancy hotel than a senior care facility....
What stood out to me about this facility is that they are eager to make sure new residents feel they are welcome. Staff are friendly and kind. They provide quick and thorough housekeeping. I would...
It took a while to get accumulate, but things have gotten better. It took a little time to get communication between MGMT, the Aides, and family. I think the food is expensive, but usually pretty good.
We picked this community, because of the location. They are friendly, approachable, and knowledgeable. It's just a good fit for my sister. Lots of social opportunities if a person is interested.
My loved one was previously a resident at The Waters of Edina and the experience at this facility was great. The facility is extremely clean. The move in process was extremely easy. The food is great. The...
It's good. Not great. Some of the help is amazing and there are others that look at their phone the whole time. My mother is in memory care. Baths, cleaning, is hit or miss. Shouldn't be for the price...
I love my apartment and I love the location. Never saw myself as a city dweller but I really appreciate it. The diversity in the people here is a first for me. It’s great. The neighborhood has such...
They charge for nursing care as it is used so this saves you money if you don't use it but it gets expensive quickly if you do. They aren't flexible on their meal plan. It is 3 meals a day or ala cart. They...
Great value friendly people give ability to be independent as an individual They had a mouse issue (which was the reason for my lower rating) but they did fix it. They need to have regular inspection of...
The staff does not work on the weekends. Many days they are gone long before 5:00. We hear comments like "that isn't my job" or even a flat out refusal to help. It is becoming more and more that they only...
In Minneapolis, MN, seniors have access to local offices and organizations that may help them obtain financial assistance for senior care, including:
The city of Minneapolis is consistently ranked as one of the most bikeable cities in the country, with miles of trails and bike-only lanes. Public transit is available through Minnesota Metro Transit, which operates bus lines all over the Twin Cities and the surrounding metropolitan area. The city also operates two light rails lines — the Green line, which runs from the business district of Minneapolis to St. Paul, and covers the University of Minnesota campus on both the east and west banks of the Mississippi, and the Blue line, which extends from downtown all the way to the southern suburb of Bloomington.
Minneapolis offers several health care providers for seniors wanting to be proactive about their health or for seniors seeking treatment for chronic conditions. The area has several hospitals, with the Hennepin County Medical Center as a prominent option.
Minneapolis is a vibrant city with a deeply rooted love for music, food, and the outdoors. Known for their “Minnesota nice” attitudes, the people of Minneapolis tend to be friendlier than your average city dweller. The city has a number of museums, one of the most interesting and unique of which is the Mill City Museum, located on the banks of the Mississippi River. The former site of a large flour mill owned by General Mills, this historical museum also has tons of outdoor walking paths that follow the banks of the Mississippi all throughout the Twin Cities.
For food, Nicollet Avenue, or ‘Eat Street,’ has tons of award-winning and affordable dining options that highlight the city’s diversity. Shopping enthusiasts will appreciate that the city runs a direct bus route to the Mall of America, one of the largest shopping centers in the world, with hundreds of retail stores. Minneapolis is also a treat for professional sports fans — local teams include the Vikings (NFL), the Wild (NHL), the Twins (MLB), and the Timberwolves (NBA).
