Great Lakes Management

The activities are fabulous. Their transportation van is Wheelchair friendly. Great crafts. They allow dogs. Haircuts are offered. I visit every week.

She loves her apartment and the staff. They are so sweet to her always. They care so much for their residents. They are just fabulous with my mom she has no complaints she absolutely loves it there the only thing they can improve on is maybe having a few more scheduled activities during the day during the week and on the weekends.

The best part about Amira Choice of Bloomington is the people and the atmosphere. The apartment sizes are adequate for my needs. I feel made a good choice as I visited 5 different places while looking for the best fit.

We chose this community because, of the location, which was proximity to my house, my loved one liked the smaller, more manageable size of the bldg (compared to the others we looked at, which were like small cities!)

During the time our loved one was there NorBella was just phenomenal, the first impression we got from them is that they are very much centered around the care of the individual and are willing to work with everything they may need. We thought the meals and dining experience was excellent and even though our loved one was limited on what she could do, from the activities we saw it looked like they had a ton of different things available. Overall we did think the value for the money was good.

We are happy with this facility. The staff is great. They're always friendly and helpful. The facility is clean. They offer a great variety of interactive activities. The food is good, but more options would be great. Communication with the family is excellent. I would recommend them to friends and family.

Our family had an in person tour and it was a great tour experience - the community was so nice and clean and the apartments were extremely spacious. They had all nice kitchen appliances and countertops, the rooms were very well laid out but due to our loved ones health they would not be able to use all the kitchen appliances and take advantage of the amenities so it was just not going to be the best fit for them.

A new friendly place for mom!

I was happily surprised at how friendly all the staff and residents are. Everyone seems happy there. They have many activities going on and always something to do if you want. It is a very nice place. Unfortunately, my family member was very ill when she moved in and has already moved out into a hospice home. We are very sad that she could not enjoy the benefits of living there.

It is a REALLY great residence for people who need a higher level of care and supervision than you're going to get in a larger assisted living facility. The staff are really good at caring my my mom, and she's much better taken care of than where she was previously in a larger facility. Everybody has been super nice. My mom is very happy there. She says the nurses are very nice to her. The nurses' desk is right outside of her room, and there are more eyes and a lot more attention on the residents, and all-around better supervision for somebody like her who really needs that to keep her safe. Comparatively to where she was before, I like NorBella's pricing system better, with just four standard packages. So you know exactly what you'll be paying every month with no surprises. And I think they're reasonably priced for what they provide.

From the initial tour, then working with the marketing/sales staff, through the move-in and continuing today, our experience at Amira Choice has been nothing but wonderful! Our family member is well cared for and respected by staff, the food is excellent, and there are many activities that residents can choose to participate in. We are very happy with our (difficult) choice to make regarding placement in memory care but we are so pleased our family member is living here!

I literally think they are the best. They have been a 5 out of 5 on everything since we've started. My dad passed away a month after moving in, and everything around the move-in, the way they have supported my mom and dad as they moved, and the support they're giving my mom now after he passed, has been amazing. The environment and location amongst the trees and flowers and animals is very serene, which is especially nice when someone is going through a traumatic time. The Glenn Hopkins has just been great.

This is a wonderful place to live and you should come and see it. We have different activities like sing along, women's group and a lot of card groups for the residents to stay busy and have something to do.

It's a very clean place, and there's a very pleasant, friendly, family feel among the staff. I know that they're all working hard to provide a safe and good environment for my dad. Because it's a new facility, I'm curious to see how things will grow in terms of whether or not there will be a change in the care that's provided. Right now, the staff to resident ratio is very good, and I'm pleased about all that they do offer. My dad tells me the food is very good. There's a good variety, and he appreciates their comfort food approach. They serve plenty of meatloaf, turkey and gravy, hearty sandwiches, soups. For breakfast, they have not just scrambled eggs every day but also waffles, oatmeal, pancakes. They follow nutritional guidelines for fruits and veggies. The food is freshly prepared and doesn't taste like your typical cafeteria type food. He also loves the desserts. They have lots of nice pies and cakes and sweet things. One area they could improve on is activities. Because they're newer, they don't have an activities director hired on yet. So they're trying to give the residents things like puzzles and coloring books, and there's a putting green. But they haven't really made a schedule of various activities yet.

We loved Global Pointe. Initially this was our first choice, it is a beautiful facility. After they assessed my dad no one ever got back to us and there was no follow up which was disappointing because we could really see my dad here.

We toured the community and the tour was very positive and very comprehensive. The staff was very engaging and friendly. we based our decision on price, location, and the care offered.

I would want others to know that we had a really great experience and I would recommend The Glen at Minnetonka to anyone looking for a senior living community for themselves or a loved one.

I believe that they care and try really hard to understand each individual and their care as well as their families. They send pictures of the activities my parents are doing. They go that extra step. Brand new place, my dad was the first resident in memory care. Rooms are really nice, the movers even commented that the rooms were larger than other communities they had been to. My parents really like the food, it is all cooked from scratch.

Our tour was very thorough and informative. We felt they were very transparent with pricing and amenities. We were impressed with the beautiful grounds and marsh views. They have done good job with common spaces and the outdoor areas look inviting (and we toured in the winter). There is scheduled transportation to almost anywhere you need to go. [Name removed] spent over 2 hours with us going over every question my parents had. I appreciated her patience and kindness.

I would like to commend the staff members in memory care. The gentle kindness and care the offer the residents is beyond measure. Thank you!
