Epiphany Assisted Living

Overall I thought the place was great for my mother. It was not to far from where she originally lived and allows me to still stop by and visit at least two times per week. I was really impressed by the staff and the fact that they do only assist, and they do not force their help upon the residents. My Mother has complained about not enjoying the food, however she is also a very picky eater so I know that has been hard for her.

Epiphany Assisted Living in Coon Rapids, MN was recommended by an acquaintance in the area as a possible place for our uncle to reside. He has some special needs at this point in his life, so we need to find him a suitable place to live. The outer grounds of this facility are quite lovely. In fact, it looked very much like one of the homes our uncle has lived in for much of his life.

The pond in the center of the front of the building featured a gazebo-like setting that looked like a great place to relax and enjoy the day.

The staff seems to respect the independence of the residents, which is important to us. Our uncle is anxious about making this transition in his life – always having been the one to support, rather than require it.

The many services are offered to reflect personal needs and with an eye toward providing choices. For example, outings are suggested and also requested by residents and added to the list of activities. All residents are encouraged to participate in as much as they are interested in, as well as to try new things.

The tailored health care services can be adjusted as needed. All of the amenities we were told about seemed to be in place – from the caring staff to the types of social interaction. We saw residents doing a variety of things, from exercise to reading, watching films and playing games.

The interior rooms, from the communal to the private, were all nicely decorated in a home-like way. The furniture was comfortable and the living quarters were all nicely designed for easy access.

The food we tried was tasty and healthy. All of the residents seemed to enjoy their food and were offered a variety of good choices. They offer healthy snacks throughout the day so that the residents are well fed. This is a beautiful place that seems more like a real home than an elder care facility.
