Assisted Living Communities in Aitkin, MN

"We chose Whitefish at the Lakes for Mom, because it has more residents. It's a newer facility and my mom has her own washer-dryer. She really likes the food, too. The place is very neat and tidy. The staff is very helpful and has bent over backwards to assist. They have chair exercises, coffee in the mornings, singing, a walking club, and a beauty salon onsite. The cost is comparable to the area."

"I only visited Golden Horizons of Crosslake. It's close to home and I'm satisfied with it. They have bingo, they do exercises with the residents every day, they have a social hour with entertainment, and the meals are satisfactory. I haven't found any problems with it. I think the care is pretty good. They're understaffed a little bit. I they could use more employees because sometimes the residents have to wait a little while before their call buttons are answered. My husband's room is a studio type apartment with a bedroom and living room together, a separate little kitchen, and a separate bathroom."

"It was comfortable. My mom enjoyed it. She liked the people. She liked the feel of the place, but the staff didn't know we were coming. We thought we had an appointment, but they hadn't been notified. They were still very gracious. I think it was a nurse who showed us around, and she was very warm, kind, and very thorough. The rooms were all studios, but they looked very clean and comfortable. They have quite a few different activities. Three meals a day, laundry, cleaning and so forth were all included. The residents were out in their yards. They had kind of an outside area, a gathering place that they could be outside."

"Almond House was a god-send for our mother. She left the nursing home where she was tied to a chair in the day room and made a fairly seamless transition to Almond House.(half the price of the nursing home, too) The professional nursing care was excellent. Daily care givers in the facility were kind and interacted with our mother. She actually improved her outlook in life over the course of time even though her dementia continued its deadly march. This is a great place."

"Edgewood Vista is nice, clean and neat. We have no complaints except that breakfast is a little bit early. My mother never gets the chance of a hot breakfast because she wouldn't get up and go down that early. "

"The staff at the Good Samaritan Village in Brainerd Minnesota is very welcoming and kind. They have been a great help for my father and my family as we moved him to the facility. The setting is very nice with a courtyard and individual rooms for all of the residents. The residents have access to the courtyard for family events and dinner is served in a familial setting. The formal areas feel more like a home than a care facility, and all of the other residents are supportive and helpful. There are several other related care facilities on the Good Samaritan campus and this offers opportunities for advanced care for later life stages. The medical personnel that work on campus are competent and well respected. Their concern seems to truly be for the residents. All in all, I would definitely recommend this assisted living location. I have been pleased with the results and all of the great resources. My family and I were new to this type of arrangement, but the staff at the Good Samaritan Village were helpful and made the entire process seem easy. "

"Good Samaritan Society-Woodland seems like a nice setting. There are lots of staff, and they all seem to care. My mom has a nice room that looks out to the trees in the yard. There's also a park across the street, where she can look out and see people walking. They have different activities every day. They take her down there, and she sometimes participates."

"I had an in-person tour of Northern Lakes. The entrance and the sitting room area are big. The dining area, community room, mailboxes, gym, and library are all very good. The apartments are very nice. The staff members are very friendly and answer all our questions. The view to the woods and the Paul Bunyan Trail impresses us the most. Some of the apartments that are not facing the Paul Bunyan Trail are very noisy because of rail rides."

"My mother's been in Senior Class Center for about a week. It's a beautiful place. The staff is very good with her. She's got Alzheimer's so she doesn't quite understand why she's there, but they've been very good in this hard transition. Unfortunately, it's not close to where I live, but people who run the place knew her before, so they really went out of their way to make sure she is comfortable. She's got her own room. The only problem was there was a miscommunication about the paperwork that needed to be done, but once it got settled everything was fine. "

"My dad and stepmom are residents of Edgewood Baxter. It is very convenient because it's not a big area. They don't have far to go, like the elevator, the activity room, and the dining room. It's all in the center. All the staff are very nice and very helpful except for the head of the nursing staff. They have a variety of things like they had baby back ribs, and they said they were very good. They had shrimp, and the soups were very good, and if they didn't like some kind of meal, they had a choice to have something else made, and that's nice. The facility is very clean. It's very nice. I don't know how old of a building it is, but it's kept up. It's not like you see dirty areas or anything like that. It's like the carpets and everything is always clean. They have bingo. They have crafts. They have music come in, and just like a social gathering if they want to play cards or something. They have a salon there. The rooms are nice. The one they got, because those two lived together, had a little bit bigger room, like there were two bedrooms, and it was perfect for them. It's a large room, but if it's one person, they have a one-bedroom, and there's plenty of space in those apartments. That's what's nice."
