I felt when we came to tour that this facility was much less busy and hectic than other places that we saw. It also does not have that institutional feeling at all. The apartments have full kitchens and felt more homey. The activities have been great, I like how they provide a shuttle service so residents don't have to worry about deriving but are still able to get out and about. The nurses on the care staff have all been great but I know they are changing companies so it will be new staff. I would recommend Vernon Terrace for others.

The community was good just not what we were looking for my loved one. They had a good tour.

We chose Champlin Shores because of the close proximity to our house. The room sizes at the facility are adequate, my dad seems to be very happy here. The staff are always extremely friendly and he has settled in well. I would recommend them to others looking.

We chose The Sanctuary because I liked how many activities they were planning and I thought that the staff were really knowledgeable. The room sizes at the facility are very nice and spacious. I would recommend to others looking.

Our family had an in person tour and it was a good tour and in the same area which we really liked. We had gone when they had there grand opening, and it is newer, and the spaces are up to date.

This seem like a good community and it is a newer community.

Setting covid aside the meals, dining and activities our be getting 5 stars. However, due to the restrictions the meals are still good but they are better when the residents are able to eat in the dining room, and the activities go from opening back up to shutting back down when someone tests positive but they do try their absolute best. For everything that we got, we would have to say the value for cost is fairly reasonable. The community in a written statement will not kick you out of your run our of money which is very reassuring. We also like that they do not have ratio with private pay like other communities. When we were touring it was just such a perfect fit in so many ways.

We toured The Pillars and it was a very nice beautiful facility. It was just not the right environment of what we were looking for for my dad.

Our Dad really liked the Vernon Terrace. The warmth from the staff AND the residents was wonderful. He really felt at home even though the courtyard is small and the building is older. There is a beautiful library across the street as well as Jerry's groceries and the Edina Senior Center. If you can swing the private pay, this is worth checking out. Small detail, but we really liked it, is resident's last names are on a nice brass plaque on each door. It felt just like a solid front door - a door to a home - than a room in a building. That feeling was throughout. All the staff and residents said hello. It's too expensive for us.

The community is very nice and in a great location and it's in a safe neighborhood. They have a 3rd party that does additional care and they are amazing. I would definitely recommend this community to others

My Dad and I appreciate the great tour given by [name removed]. The facility is located in a beautiful wooded area. It is mid-range in price. Not close to shops or businesses.

Had my parents here for more than 2 years. The facilities are good, food is good. There are a lot of organised activities and always a jug of coffee available. The offerings range from Independent living to Memory care and the best part is that for everything except memory care, you can stay in the same studio, 1 br or 2 br apartment. The staff was generally good. A little higher turnover than I would like but I don't know whether that's normal for the industry or not. If I remember correctly our entry level pricing (which included some assisted living for two and a 1 BR apartment was less than [removed].

Looks Beatiful, but we aren't ready to move our mother that far away from the main care giver.

I toured here when looking for a place for my parents. The facility is very new and the location was pretty ideal. They didn’t have the size unit that my parents were looking for though, so we wound up choosing a different facility. I think the largest rooms they have are only one bedroom. The facility looked pretty clean overall. The person that took us on a tour seemed knowledgeable and able to answer all of our questions.

Clean, up to date amenities good care.

My mom has high needs and they do a great job providing personal care and ensuring she is part of the community. The spiritual focus and wonderful volunteers really add to the sense of community.

No linen closet in [the] bathroom. washer & dryer stacked. Great aides and staff. Julie is the best, wonderful amenities. A good place to live.

"I think it's OK. I'd rather be home in my own house." Staff [is] fine.

Could have more nursing assistant staff.
