Communities in Eden Prairie, MN

"It was new and wonderful. I received very good information. However, they did not have a kitchen in every room or apartment. They had everything else. You could garden. The gentleman that toured me was wonderful. They had one kitchen to share among the people on the floor with a big fridge, microwave, and sink. "

"When my family first visited we were given a tour of certain floors, certain residential rooms, and activity areas. We all agreed that it was a good safe place for grandma. However after she was excepted we had to wait a week before visiting and when I went to visit she was sitting alone in the hallway and said she had been there for more than an hour by herself. The floor she was on had a stench of urine. She shared a room with another resident that she didn't get along with and somehow her dentures were lost.It was a horrible experience for my grandmother as well as the rest of my family. And it was almost impossible to re-place her in another facility because we had such strong complaints about previous. Not many other facilities wanted a family that was going to be so assertive about the way residents are cared for. Overall after visiting a few other homes I found that the first two floors are always the nicest and those are the ones that a family gets to tour. "

"Comfortable rooms with nice welcoming community spaces. Mom is well cared for by an attentive and compassionate staff that is very receptive to family cares and concerns. We have been extremely pleased with with our difficult decision of where to find the best care for our dear loved one! "

"I found the development to be very well staffed for the amount of patients that were there. The patients received schedules for their daily activities, including time for activities such as occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech therapy, swimming, acupuncture, lunch, dinner, and more. I remember a couple patients had trouble reading and understanding their schedules, and also noticed the schedule sometimes was incorrect or not accurately communicated with me as a volunteer. With the exception of a few members of the staff, I did not feel very close or remembered with my weekly volunteering. Perhaps that was due to them having many volunteers, so I may have been seen as expendable. I was providing a lot of help to the patient however, so my time there was rewarding.The facility itself was magnificent. I was amazed with the building and with what was offered for disabled individuals. There are activities rooms with games, books and movies, common areas with television, laundry areas for those able and wanting to do their own, and a beautiful pathway to walk around outside with a quiet stream. The facility was well kept, clean, and well lit. Nursing staff seemed to always be readily available to patients and communicated with them on a friendly basis. "

"Adult Day Program at MN Veteran's Home RN and social worker on the staff. Many different activities going on every day, daily exercise group, field trips, entertainment, movies with popcorn (recliner chairs, too), breakfast and lunch with nice area to eat lunch outside on nice days. Multiple activities of shorter duration (for those with shorter attention spans). The director is visible and interacts with the participants. Beautiful grounds and really nice old building. They offer spa bath weekly. Participants wear a sort of GPS device so staff knows where they are at all times- good safety measure for those with dementia. "

"Catholic Eldercare on Main is a well-kept, clean, and professionally run facility. The staff is very good. The room my father is in right now has a TV. They provide a bed, a built-in closet, and a lounge chair. The food is pretty good. They have a foyer or a reception area and you take the elevator up to the second floor where he's at. They have many activities as well."

"I toured Bentson Family Assisted Living Residence. The apartments there would have allowed me to live with my wife, and I thought I wanted to do that, but I'm not so sure now. The apartments were sumptuous. There were one-and-a-half bedrooms, and two bedrooms, and those were very good. Those were for limited care, and they included the spouse. As far as the limited care facilities, it looked very, very good. That whole wing had very nice apartments, and I know that their staffing was good. The building was absolutely fine with regard to upkeep."

"I had a family member who was in transitional care at The Estates of Roseville. I could have not been happier with the care she received. The home is very focused on person centered care. Residents are treated with respect and dignity. I can’t say enough about the amazing staff. The staff are friendly, kind, caring, hard-working, patient and thoughtful. They went above and beyond to care for my family member. All my questions and concerns were addressed. The home has a comfortable environment. It is clean, secure and well maintained. They provide housekeeping, laundry service, onsite kitchen for meals, planned activities, rehabilitative services, physicians and onsite social workers. Our family would not hesitate to recommend The Estates of Roseville to others. "
