Adult Day Care Communities in Saint Louis Park, MN

"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. "

"My husband has advanced Parkinson's and has been attending Mt Olivet Day Services for ten years. The facility is clean, cheerful and spacious. The staff is wonderful and their turnover very low. Field trips, fun activities that provide physical and mental stimulation, guest speakers and entertainers, excellent meals and bathing are provided. The staff takes special care to communicate with the families of participants and to provide for the participants' special needs. Mount Olivet Day Services also includes a childcare component in the same building and there are many activities that bring the children and the "Grandmas and Grandpas" together. My husband and I regard this program as dear family. "

"We got my mother placed in Catholic Eldercare on Main. I would recommend it. So far, it has been very nice. Everyone is very helpful and very friendly, and they seem to take a lot of care about what they're doing. They are very, very helpful all the way around for everyone. They have therapy and all the usual stuff. The place is well run as far as I can tell. I remember seeing places that my wife's parents were in and they were very nice, too, but not like this one. My mother is basically in nursing care. She is sharing a room with another woman. The staff are extremely helpful, very pleasant, and always as competent as possible in taking care of business. I haven't tried the food, but my mother seems to be eating properly and fine, and that's all I care about. They do a good job at keeping the place clean and on top of things. They have activities. My mother doesn't partake in them, but I've seen volunteers come in and do a little Nerf bowling with some of the patients. They have musical ones, and my mother happened to see one activity where they brought some llamas in. One thing is that they go to medical assistance when needed, so it's not all private pay and we don't have to move her again, so that's a consideration there. Financially, it's much better to go there. It is a nice place. "

"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. "

"My father was a resident of the memory care unit and later received hospice care while at Meadow Woods. The care was excellent in all areas. The aides were well trained and were quickly responsive to the residents call lights even during the week of nights that I spent there during my dads hospice stay. The aides had a good rapport with all the residents and appeared to genuinely like their job. The nurses communicated well with the aides on a daily basis along with making frequent in house visits. The nurses coordinated well with the nurse practitioner and any changes in my fathers health status were promptly attended to. Care coordination between the Martin Luther staff and hospice nurses was seamless, giving my dad pain free end of life care. "

"This is a wonderful program. They offer daily snacks and meals, activities and people seem very friendly. Their clients were happy and having a lot of fun when I visited. They even offer bathing services! I would recommend this program to any seniors interested in having a fun day away from home and to caregivers who need a break."

"Excellent care and communication from entire team. Complex medical needs consistently addressed, and all staff worked as a team to ensure our sister was safe, well cared for, and treated with kindness and dignity."

"My sister came to live at the Ebenezer Ridges Care Center in August of 2023, she had come from a nursing home that did not take the care of her as we had hoped. The day that she was brought in the staff was there to greet her and make her feel so welcome and special!! she had numerous issues that had been neglected, from day one they took such special care of her and she has done so well ever since. The friendliness and kindness of everyone has been great! But what has impressed me the most is the extra wonderful activities that she has been encouraged to partake in, my sister was a bit shy as far as getting involved in much but she has just enjoyed all the wonderful activities that the Ebenezer staff has set up for the residents. My sister came to Ebenezer frightened and not in good shape health wise or physically, she has just blossomed with the love and care they have shared with her and with all the residents! I love seeing the residents partaking in all the fun activities."
