Assisted Living
The people there really seem to care. It's so clean, and I like that it smells good when you walk in, which isn't the case everywhere. There were a lot of areas where you could sit and relax with your family, and it felt home-like. They had a nice back garden terrace area. It was expensive, but I felt we got our money's worth and that my mom was getting the best care.
The administrative services are very helpful in helping to make the right decision on where to put a parent and how to do all the paperwork to get things in order. The ratio of staff to resident is better than most places. They have a nurse in-house for when things go wrong. All of the staff are friendly and helpful to residents and family of the residents. I would highly recommend Lighthouse of Mahtomedi. My mom has been there a couple of months now, the transition from house to resident care has been a very smooth one. I am very happy with the Lighthouse of Mahtomedi.
I think they do a great job at Meadow Woods! The staff here is very friendly and easy to work with. They've been very accommodating in regards to some billing issues we've had in regards to getting funding with the VA straightened out. The facility itself is well kept and clean, and they do a great job looking after the people who live here!
