Ecumen

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.

This is a good community for my mom. my mom does like the good variety of meals. The staff is always nice and friendly. I like that my mom is getting good care at a friendly and clean community. She is happy with the activities that she is participating in. We would highly recommend this community for a loved one.

i am extremely happy and I am not moving. When I walked in I told my sister this is my home. The people are smiling, it smells and feels good. The staff are very great. I got so much to do i can't keep up with the activities. I go out to get coffee and I fix most my meals and eat good food from the dining room. I have my vehicle here and it is safe. They have a senior center close by too.

My mother is doing very well here at this community. She is starting to settle in very well. I couldn't be happier with her move here. The staff is great, and they are caring for her very well. She is very happy here, and its been a positive for us here. She is being cared for very well here, and I know she is in good hands. Overall I would recommend this community it is a good place.

My husband and I were very impressed and will be taking my dad on a tour the Wednesday April 27th.

I really like the place. I don't think that it is a very good place for my friend because of his mental health needs. However, when placing someone here, I would consider it because, it is a great place. The activities are not for everyone at times, but no place is perfect.

At St. Benedict's Senior Community they were very good with working with us. We've had a few bumps in the road in the beginning trying to get her moved. But if we have ever had any questions or issues the staff are always quick to resolve it. Overall things are going really well. She is very happy at this facility and she loves the food there.

We were only there for 42 hours before mom passed away. She was the first person to stay there to just stay for hospice without being a regular resident, and they were super awesome. Brett is beyond compassionate and Kristy was extremely kind and helpful.

My mother has lived at St. Benedict's Senior Community for six years. My family feels very fortunate that St. Benedict's is a transitional facility. When my Mother moved to St. Benedict's, she lived in the independent area. We noticed changes in memory and with the guidance and encouragement from the Home Care Nurse Coordinator, she moved to assisted living and ultimately the memory care area where she now resides. She receives nursing care 24 hours per day, 7 days a week with regular hygiene care; help with attire and medication applications. Home Care keeps me abrease ot any concerns or changes my mother is experiencing. St. Benedict's offers a doctor's program [Bluestone] that allows the doctor to come to the resident right in St. Benedict's. She also receives three meals a day, which is implemented by their certified Nutritionist. The Recreation area has many activities, which helps in my Mother's cognitive stages: board games, bingo, walking group, ice cream socials and musicals to name a few. St. Benedict's has a Chapel, which is so important to my Mother. They have scheduled masses and with the help of home care aides, is able to attend. I am grateful we found this comfortable, beautiful facility for my Mother with needs.

My mother's apartment is beautiful and staff kept it immaculate. The Home Care staff meets her every need. My mother loves the food and goes to the dining room for three delicious meals a day. Mom enjoys going to movies every night in the movie theatre. Mom loves the activities....she plays cards, enjoys musical entertainment, bus outings and various crafts. Mom says living at St. Benedict's is like a "little slice of heaven". The opportunities for her spiritual care are plentiful with an on-site Chapel and Church next door. My mom could not be happier with our decision to move her to St. Benedict's.

We're very happy with how things have gone with Prairie Lodge! The facility itself is very nice looking, I like that it is bright and open feeling. I'm also very satisfied with the level of care they provide, there are always plenty of staff on hand, and they all seem friendly. They've also got great attention to detail, our loved one's socks have matched every time we've visited! She really seems to be doing well here, she is more social, more verbal, and she really enjoys the food!

We were very impressed from the moment we walked in the front door. Beautifully decorated with a warm & homey country atmosphere. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. It is one level and not as large and imposing as some of the newer assisted living places. Mom seems to be adjusting well to her new home, and we couldn't be happier!

We can never thank the employees at Lakeview Commons enough for all their help and patience. Whenever there is an issue it is addressed until fixed. They bend over backwards for the residents there. We can rest easy knowing our mother is in good hands.

We toured quite a few communities during our search, but from the moment we walked in the door Lakeview Commons really stood out to us. It wasn't just a reception area, it was a comfortable social area. and I was pleased to see residents sitting around socializing. That was true throughout the community as well, it all just felt felt very relaxed and comfortable. The decor was bright and cheery, and residents were free to put up decorations of their own, pictures of grandchildren, etc. We had our search narrowed down to a few locations and we were going to let our loved one make the final decision, and she selected this one hands down! One of the biggest factors for us was that they had a nurses office that is open 24 hours a day, which provided a lot of peace of mind for my loved one. They also do a great with the food! They've also got great customer service. The first room we moved my loved one into had a noise from a pipe in the wall that bothered her, so they rounded up a few staff members and 2 hours later had her moved to a new room, at no charge to us!
