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.
My mom loves the Waters so far, it’s been a perfect fit for her. It’s been a wonderful adjustment from 40 years of living alone. The residents and staff have been wonderful and welcoming. She very much...
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 looked at quite a few places before settling on The Waters. The staff are delightful, the apartments are quite lovely - light and bright, I’ve eaten there a few times and been impressed. My mom - Who is...
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...
Well-trained, efficient staff in a well-maintained facility. The care (medical attention, attention to resident needs, etc.) seems quite good (no smells, no trash lying around, etc.). Security for...
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...
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.
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...
Very good experience - The people & the staff are very nice. I do think people should know the average age of the residents before they move in. Average here is mid to late 80's. I am one of the youngest...
Village Shores feels like a friendly community with residents watching out for each other. Staff are also friendly but has a large turnover. There have been some issues with management level turnover for the...
We walked in at 4:50pm on a Friday and they never blinked an eye when we asked if we could have a tour and talk with someone about the place. They were welcoming then and still are. They remembered my dad's...
My mom has been very happy at Cardigan. The activities coordinator goes out of his way to ask residents about their interests, and he encourages participation. I really think there is something for everyone...
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.
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...
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).
