"The rooms at Serenity Place on 7th were nice, but the cabinets were a bit dated. The place looked clean. They were having some activities going on when we toured it. They had a library and a little activity room where residents could do crafts and bingo."

"Assumption Community is like no other Nursing home or assisted living facility out there. Most people have negative perspectives on nursing homes and Assumption completely changed my outlook. All staff were genuinely caring and had a holistic approach to care given. Assumption was always very clean. All garbage was taken out frequently, residents always had fresh water and a snack. The d̩cor had a very at home feel. The theme was very calming and non-medicinal looking. Assumption community provided much more than white as you would normally see. This nursing facility provided many pertinent resident activities in which many of the residents attended frequently. Care conferences were very confidential and provided the best interest with the residents involved including emotional, physical and spiritual support. As a caregiver myself and have seen many other nursing facilities if I had to choose to put my loved one in a skilled nursing facility, Assumption Community would be a first choice! "

"We found Cherrywood for my mom. I like the residential location. I like the caring staff. There is an effort for the residents to get to know each other, I like that too. My mom is well taken care of and likes the people. She says the food is good. She has been there since January. Regarding activities, that is something that needs to be addressed. There are not enough activities. They have bingo and an exercise class. They need to have daily activities for the residents to take part in. As for security and safety, it is excellent. "

"The Saint Cloud VA is a very fine facility. It is always clean and kept up to decent standards. There is a very respectful and interactive staff who are always ready to help vets and students alike. Our group specifically met with veterans who come in the morning and leave at night to their homes. They are well enough to live on their own, they just require some extra attention during the day. Every visit was filled with stories and games being shared and played amongst the students and vets, so there was never a dull moment and everyone seemed quite content with the facility. Overall it was one of the best places I have seen in terms of staffing and the positive mood being given off by the residents. However, I have not seen the nursing home aspect of the buildings yet since we only deal with those who can come and go as they please. "

"I have visited CentraCare - Chateau Waters. It's very clean and it seemed like they had a lot of activities for the residents. I'm leaning more towards them but there's a waiting list there. They had a handicapped one open but my dad is fairly tall for it. The problem we have now is getting the home care people up into his apartment. Chateau has the concierge that would let them in. I think you didn't have to make a meal plan there but it came with 10 meals a month or something. They had a place where you could stay overnight if you wanted to. They had a guest room that you could use. If you're out of town and you're coming for a couple of days, you could stay there. They recommend you to pay 25 dollars a night for the first two nights and I think it was $50 for the third night. I also asked if they had a room for if we had a birthday party or something and they did. I saw some cleaning people but I didn't see a whole lot of staff there. The apartment has a room, a small living room, a kitchen and the kitchen has a counter. He likes sitting on the counter with a higher bar stool because he's tall but they didn't have that overhang on the counter. When we asked if they had anything that you could put a chair underneath, the staff said they didn't have that. She said what the people have done was take a counter height table and push it up to the corner. She also said that a couple of the residents had the granite taken out and replaced but they had to pay for it themselves."

"I toured Talamore Senior Living - Saint Cloud. The tour was pretty good. They took care of me because I had a diabetic reaction. It was very nice, clean, and new. It was only two years old and big. I only talked to three staff members, and they were pretty friendly. I saw one room and it was spacious and clean. It was a handicapped one. It was kind of odd in the closet though, I thought. There is like a linen closet in the bathroom, but there is not really a closet there. I do not know what it is going to cost because they gave me one price and then quoted a different, higher price to my social worker. They gave me a chocolate chip cookie and some orange juice because I was having a glucose fit and I came around okay."

"I just wanted to say it was most helpful for me in the condition that I was in. I basically couldn't do anything . Thay brought me back to where I could walk with a walker and take care of myself. Then so I could have my total hip replacement. Champion Rehab was amazing. I want to say a special thanks to all the people who helped me in rehab. Now I am walking with a cane and it will get better. Thank you Kyle."

"We found Good Shepherd Community in Sauk Rapids MN for my Mother who needs daily support care. We toured the place and I found it nice. Though she hasn't moved to Good Shepherd yet because we're still processing her papers. I will definitely recommend Good Shepherd Community to others. "

"The main thing that struck me was that Cherrywood Advanced Living seems to have a very open area for people to sit and chat and help somebody make dinner, or make a meal for themselves if they want. The kitchen, living, and social area are kind of all-in-one. People eat in a family environment where there's a long table, and people just sit down and eat. If you want to eat later in the morning, you sure can. There are in-houses or community areas, so that there are 12 people per house. It's just very comfortable-looking between the fireplace, and the carpet, and the chairs. The rooms are just one big space, but they're large, so I think that would be appealing to some people. It's in a neighborhood, so that is nice. They seemed very caring when they talked about things that people would like, and that they try to respond to. The staff was new, and one of them said that one of her goals on being hired was to add more social activities for people. I was really very impressed with it. We were considering that place, but the distance was too far. You can have your hair done there. People come in regularly to cut hair, and for shaving. There's a little party room, and if somebody is having a family gathering, they can use that space. There is a sauna whirlpool room, and that is quite popular. "

"The facility is clean and well maintained. The staff are patient and kind. "

"My mom will move into Getty Street Assisted Living. What I like best is it's so clean, and everybody is so friendly and caring. The staff was wonderful. The cleanliness seemed very good. The structure is very nice. It isn't old-fashioned. The layout seemed okay, but it's tiny. One thing that got to me is that it has a sunroom that has all windows. They've got a patio outside. They've got a fireplace and all-leather furniture in the community room. I could spend my whole time there."
