VOA Care Centers, Minnesota

We are very happy with the whole place. When we started looking for places, I had three things I most wanted. A laundry room in the apartment, a balcony and two bathrooms. At least two toilets. And with Homestead I got all three items

The staff is great. Communication with the family is good. The move in process was easy. The meals are not great. Overall, I would recommend this facility to others.

It is a very friendly and open community. We picked this community because of the good staff and proximity to family.

The staff seemed to really care about the residents and their families. They acted very professionally, and I felt it was a good value for the prices charged, as those services are generally very expensive.

My grandmother loved living at the homestead. The staff are very caring and very professional I always knew my grandmother was safe and taken care of. I would highly recommend the homestead. She loved the food and the family like atmosphere. She also enjoyed the verity of activities.

Mom is always busy with activities. She especially loves to play Balloon Toss. The employees are very friendly and compassionate. She loves to go for rides in the van with her friends and stop for ice cream. Homestead of Maplewood plans fun activities around the State Fair, Fall Festival, and Birthdays. Mom also has quiet time in her room to relax and chat with her daughters. We love the care she receives which gives us great piece of mind. The facility is always clean and cheerful. We have never smelled anything foul, quite the opposite. Their meals smell delicious. Mom has always been satisfied with her meals and treats.

My mother was in the independent living facility for 2+ years and then moved to the assisted living facility, Palm View. Both facilities were clean with good food and adequately staffed. Mom is safe and happy there and well cared for. Staff comes and gets her throughout the day for activities to keep her engaged and active. She recently went to a pumpkin carving event for Halloween party. Very nice place.

We had a really good tour experience with The Homestead at Anoka. The reason that we did not choose this facility though was because they do not accept elderly waiver. So if your loved one runs out of money, you would have to move them again and we did not want to do that.

Good community with warm staff.

We had a good tour experience with Elder Homestead. The facility did look a bit run down and needed some TLC, it was just not the right fit for my loved one.

The meals are a little bit of a draw back we were hoping for more, but overall our loved one is enjoying it there. The community is very clean, our loved ones apartment has brand new carpet. The place is nice and close family.

My mom loves her bright and surprisingly spacious studio apartment at the Homestead at Maplewood. There are fun activities every day, and she is thriving best move ever.

Its wide open very clean, very upbeat and everyone was so nice and helpful.

Our family had a tour experience, and our father was actually a resident there for rehab and we really liked it. However, they did not have assisted living which was what we were looking for.

This place is amazing. Clean, friendly, so many amenities, food is excellent, staff is over the top helpful. Residence is homey and so well designed.

Each time I have been here , it is obvious how people feel here. They all seem to worship [name removed], who opened this facility many years ago and is the crown jewel in this facility. He is amazing not only to the community , but to the wider Anoka community in which they serve.

I am an attorney who works in the elder community. [Name removed] from the Homestead is so kind and personable-she has shown me the lovely Homestead and given me a good idea of the extra benefits of living there for my clients. She is a gem and The Homestead is beautiful.

I toured the community as a potential volunteer. [Name removed] was my guide. She was kind, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. The facility was well maintained, clean, and beautifully updated. The staff was welcoming. I would highly recommend this community.

The staff are great people and the meals are excellent. The facilities are lovely and I can get the rest I need.
