Ecumen

Very friendly and helpful staff. Answer questions thoroughly. Lots of activities for people, apartments are large. They have coffee morning meetings ups, washers and dryers in each floor for those who don't have them in their apartments. Mail and package delivery is great plus a secure entrance.

The experience has been awesome. I would recommend to others.

The staff and facility is great and it is on a great location. It's near several parks, close to public transportation, and not in the middle of the busy city. The staff is probably the biggest reason we chose them. They seem to genuinely care about the residents.

Abiitan was not a good fit because downtown, limited parking, and difficult to find because signage is only printed on door. It is attached to a closed restaurant. Don't even realize it is there. Once inside it was very nice but very similar to all my other tours. Nothing much stood out as special. Staff was nice. My Aunt is a farm wife. It was not a good fit

My loved one is currently resident at Ecumen CountrySide and everything has been great for her so far. We have had a great experience as my loved one has transitioned from her home to Assisted Living. We have appreciated everything as we navigate through this life changing time in my loved one's life. I would recommend Ecumen CountrySide to family and friends.

Very good. Staff is helpful and the apartment is amazing! There are three meals a day served and the residents have choices to choose from. The staff communication with the family is good, especially when it comes to staffing issues.

My loved one's eyes lit up when she saw the apartments. There were windows all around so she could sit and look outside, and there was lots of natural light during the day. They have a horse and a donkey in the back that she could sit and watch. The apartments are just really nice, with a nice open space for the kitchen, and the bathrooms are about four times bigger than the place she’s currently at. They go in once a week and change the bedding, which is something she's not able to do on her own. I noticed everything was very clean. Their self-serve laundry room is a nice area. They had some really nice rooms for socializing. The dining area is totally open, and you can see outside. There’s a patio out there where you can sit outside to eat in the summertime. When you walk in there's a nice reception area. We really liked this place!

Everyone calls me {name removed} is involved with helping others loves the food. Loves the exercise program.

The facility is clean and comfortable. The staff is very caring and helpful.

Our family had an in person tour and we thought it was a beautiful facility, it would of been an absolute lovely place to live, very very nice but very expensive.

The staff members there have just been incredible, amazing and extremely caring. We would absolutely highly recommend this community we have nothing but good things to say about. The community does not feel like a nursing home, but an actual home and the activities are good as well.

While St. Benedict's doesn't have room for my dad at this time, I was impressed with [name removed]. She showed compassion and honesty which is very helpful while going through this somewhat difficult time of change for our family.

The community is in a great location and near a park and a river. The community works had to provide things to do and the community is pet friendly. I would definitely recommend this community to others

My mother has been at Centennial house for 2 1/2 years including this past year during the Covid pandemic. The staff is personal and helpful. It amazes me that they often refer to my sister and I by name when we visit my mom. Activities are cheery events that my mom looks forward to, especially hymn and old music sing alongside...thank you [name removed]! And Bingo particularly with Viking guests and prizes! Of course it’s been difficult through the pandemic with limited contact but despite the challenges the staff has remained up beat and hard working to take care of the residents. centennial’s Covid record is excellent. I’m so happy that we chose Centennial house for my mother’s residence. When you walk in the door, observe the settings, see resident rooms and special features you will understand the culture. My moms place is like a beautiful little apartment full of her personal things. Be sure to check out Centennial house if you are looking for a residence for a loved one.

Very informative talk with [name removed]. Due to the fact that I am having electronic problems, she will be sending me information through the mail. I am very pleased with the information I am receiving and it gives me a lot to think about.

I have lived at Abiitan for about 1 year and have found that the choice to move here is one of the best decisions of my life. The folks here are from such a varied background and are interested in new experiences, continued learning and being part of a community. The variety of programming and events is awesome and there is something for everyone. As a resident, one has the option to participate every day or occasionally in activities. The staff is exceptional and they assist us in the art of living well, whatever that means to each person. Abiitan is my home, and I love it!

Moving is a big change at any stage in life. My mom's move from the suburbs to the city has been a big one but also an exciting one. It's inspiring for me as I see her embracing a new experience altogether. I am happy to see how Abiitan has provided her access to things she has had an interest in throughout her life (cultural, social and community involvement) but has had limited access to the last several years. With our family living and working downtown it is especially meaningful to share the urban experience together in a multi-generational way! I love that her grandchildren are super excited and think it's really cool that she moved to the city!

My Mom was just entering the mid stage of Alzheimer's, when she was diagnosed in, January 2014. She was 82 and vehinimently independent. By April 2015, it was pretty evident, she needed guidance, assistance & supervision 24/7. Our hearts were broken. And, our knowledge & experience, on this topic, was non-existent. My Mom's neighbor suggested, Lakeview Commons, saying, she has heard only good things. Lakeview Commons was the only place we called and it was the only place we toured. My family & I all got the same, good, warm, fuzzy, first impression. With a lot of coaxing, kind words & all fingers crossed, we got Mom moved in. After a week or 2, I asked Mom, how she was doing. Almost like she was waiting to be asked, she said, "I have never been treated so kindly & so well by everyone. In 82 years, I haven't heard my first name as often as I have in the last 2 weeks, I've never had so many people greet me, nor have so many wanted to talk to me. I feel like a queen". Every week or so, when I'd ask, 'how it was going', I'd get the same or similar response. During a staff/family meeting, we were discussing various services & their cost and my daughter said it best, "How does one put a price tag on what Lakeview does for Grandma? You can't"!

I toured this facility, it is very nice, but will not work for Mom and what Mom needs because they do not have a doctor assigned to the facility.

I toured this community for care. The staff was nice and the community was clean. The menu was appealing and the activities would be helpful to the residents who want to participate. This is a community that families might consider touring for the care of a loved one.
