The Homestead at Anoka

I went to The Homestead at Anoka. I asked about their activities, and any questions I had were answered. There's a garage that you pay extra for, and I was impressed with the appearance of the place. It was neat and accommodating. It has various levels of care, and it has independent living and assisted living close at hand.

My mother is currently in continuing care rehab side. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone it's not fit for a soul. Absolutely very little communication with her, very little communication with family, no one knows what's going on, never get a return call from a nurse, hardly can even get ahold of them no one answers, leave you sit in wheelchair forever, wasn't notified when she was injured, she's called me crying because she has no idea why or what's going on. Left in a bed no bedrails apparently you have to order them, are you kidding me??? No one speaks English. Doesn't tell her what her pills are, tells her temps 130. And you call this safe and these people are educated?? I'm a damn nurse this doesn't fly anywhere but apparently here, however they will be reported. Safety major concern among others If you have other options seriously take them😠😠😠😠

The food was so unacceptable! I won’t feed it to my dogs! The care was so bad that they would try to over Medicate me on several occasions. Or, skip dosages by several hours. Nursing staff would have to be working 12-16 hour shifts because they didn’t have appropriate staff coverage. Physical therapy department was a joke. They just were out of school and didn’t know what to do with a exercise program. Cleanliness of the place , you had to beg to get your sheets changed. The dining area was so gross! The floor was so nasty! The State really needs to review this location because it is so mismanaged!

We moved my mother into The Homestead at Anoka. The original nurse on the memory care was fantastic. The lady who took over was nice, but she doesn't have the same personality as the original nurse did. It's working out fine and she's adapting. It's very clean and organized and the nurses are very patient. They handle these people with memory loss really well. They also do crafts.

Homestead at Anoka was very nice, and the people seemed very nice. They had a lot to offer. It's in a great location, but a little on the high end for rental. They've got a bus for shopping and medical appointments, church services in the facility, gatherings for people that live there, and meals (but for an extra charge). They offer an awful lot. The facility looked pretty new.

My mom moved to The Homestead in October of 2017 from an assisted living facility where she had entered hospice care the previous July. I almost didn't even consider this long term care facility due to a few bad reviews. However, someone said to me, "people are more likely to actually write a bad review from one isolated incident than to write a good review even though their experience may have been beyond their expectations." As it turns out, he was right! I scheduled a tour and was extremely pleased with the amenities, layout, cleanliness, friendliness of the staff and overall updated feel of the building. My mom's surroundings were very important to her. There are many over sized windows, large rooms (most of them are private), gathering areas with comfortable and stylish furniture, wide hallways, a secure building, activities everyday, and light and bright meal areas. Definitely, not your typical "nursing home." When my mom moved there she actually "perked up" due to the attentive staff and having all of her needs met in a timely manner. The staff was warm and caring. My mom passed away just 2 months after moving there but I must say, she really enjoyed living there. Even though the decision to move my mom to a long term care facility was hard, I am so happy I did and The Homestead at Anoka was the right choice. Thank you to all of the staff!

My sister and I really liked The Homestead of Anoka. It was a wonderful community. My mom would have been able to have her dog and take her outside for walks. The dining room was absolutely fantastic. They had a store to shop in. The staff was very attentive, and when you needed help, they would come. They only had four apartments for low income and there was a waiting list.

My mother was here for a rehab stay. The staff was not very responsive at all to her needs, and on several occasions when I went to the station to ask about the delay, I would find it deserted. Nurse call response times often over 20 mins. Medications not being delivered on schedule. No communication between departments and staff. Mostly poor English speaking staff, which was tough enough for me, I can't imagine someone with any difficulty hearing being able to understand them.. One time my mother called me at home from the room to see if I could get someone to respond to her call as she needed to use the bathroom but could not get there unassisted... Luckily I had a card from the admissions director and called her cell, finally a response.. Having worked at a nursing home myself some years ago, I can't imagine what would have happened if we operated this way. Interesting how when I started to tell people this and complain, how they shipped her back to the hospital pretty quickly... Hmmmm.... Honestly, If I could give this place a "0" stars, I would. Not good, stay away.

My mom was at The Homestead at Anoka for rehab and hospice program when she passed away. My mother had occupational and physical therapy four times a week and had all of her physical hygienic cares met. She attended bingo, spiritual services, medication management and administration and basic monitoring. The staff was lovely, very helpful, and very energetic. They allowed my sister and I to live with my mom right in her room for the last 17 days that she was alive. They brought us a cart every other day filled with drinks, coffee, iced water, pop, and all sorts of cookies and fruit. They brought us recliners so we could sleep there, and we had full access to the kitchen, so we could heat our food. They were very accommodating to us and very gentle to my mother. My mom had a studio and shared a bathroom with her neighbor.

My mom was there in transitional care for a month. The help is anything but helpful. Long waits for assistance. Very slow moving, non-english speaking staff. And tons of attitude when they finally do get there. I wouldn't leave my dog there

We went to The Homestead at Anoka, which has assisted living and independent living. It was beautiful, brand-new, and very clean. We sat down and talked a little bit. Then they told us the prices. A one-bedroom apartment, the smallest apartment they had, was $1,700 without services, and we couldn't afford that. They had a nice dining room, a fitness place where they did exercises, and a little bistro where you could pick up a little sandwich or snack.

Homestead at Anoka was number one in the list. This one is brand new; it just opened about four months ago. They’ve got a patio, balcony, and sun room. Everything was brand new and included. They’ve got underground parking and activities available. I did review the monthly plan; everyday they’ve got 5 or 6 things for the people to do plus all the other amenities that they had.

The Homestead at Anoka was nice. The little apartments were nice. We looked at a one-bedroom and a two-bedroom, they were small but OK, they were very nice. It was conveniently located to most of the family members. It is a nice safe area. They provide the meals as well.
