"We looked at Brookridge Assisted Living. My mother-in-law liked that it was close to our house since it's the same town, about a mile away. She liked the environment, they had a bird aviary. She liked the decor, but it wasn't modern. It felt more like it was her age style, the furnishings were contemporary furniture and stuff like that. They had drapes where some of them don't have any window treatments. If you had to summarize it, it felt like home and it was close to our home. We dropped in unannounced so they didn't know we were coming. The person that gave us the tour is not the person that normally does that. She was one of the aides that works there. She did a very good job, she's very hospitable and everything, but it wasn't like a pre-arranged with the person that normally would give a tour. She was very friendly, very accommodating, and very knowledgeable. I've visited there quite often because I know other people that stay there and so they have breaks and lunches, all that in their community room. My wife and I often go there to visit with some of the people. So I mean, I was very familiar with it to begin with, where my mother-in-law, of course, just moved up here from Florida and had never seen it before. We did not have any food on our tour. But I've often joined their residents for snacks and they have sing-alongs, and church services."

"We went to Lakeside Generations Senior Living Community. There are a lot more residents, so there's a feeling of community. There are a lot of people having coffee together, chatting, and doing different things. It's a larger facility. like the rate schedule, it starts out inexpensive, but then if you want, for example, prescription management, you pay so much per week for that. If you want just lunch, you pay so much a week for that or just dinner. You can build your own package, which is kind of attractive. They have a mini-kitchen with a refrigerator and microwave. We walked in unannounced. The staff was very good, she was the person that does that type of thing. She was extremely thorough and spent a lot of time with us, gave us a lot of written information, and did a really good job. They have a courtyard and it's actually on the lake, it's on Spring Lake in Dassel. They have a beautiful patio that's a hundred feet from the lake that overlooks the lake. It is very picturesque. The snack room where you eat your meals and have your mid-morning snack and everything overlooks the patio that overlooks the lake. So it was attractive. The building itself is relatively old though and it shows. It's clean, but it's not exactly what you'd call modern."

"My mom has been at the Garden House for almost 3 years. She gets good professional care there and has adjusted quite well and really likes it there. Private room with bath, home made meals and companionship. Activities are scheduled weekly. "

"All in all I had a very good experience at St. Marys. The facility was fairly nice, i think it was pretty old. The location was great, right by a nice pond and walking path. All of the residents seemed very happy there. The staff was very helpful and good with the residents. I actually had the oppurtunity to eat there and the food was delicious. I wonder who the chef was because he really knew how to cook a flank steak. It was so tender. "

"Centennial Villa in Annandale wasn't too bad. The staff seemed very helpful, but we didn’t get a chance to tour the facility. We only looked at some of the private rooms. It was very nice, and they were very helpful and would have helped us get my mother moved, but she didn’t want to. As far as cleanliness and everything else, it was very nice. "

"I will be moving into Prince of Peace Retirement Living within 2 weeks. They're across from a park and it's close to downtown. Most of their independent living apartments were one-bedroom, and they're a little over 600 square feet. They would provide a refrigerator and a stove. They also had handicapped-accessible apartments. They had a regular 1-bedroom and a larger 1-bedroom apartment. They also had a 1-bedroom apartment plus a den, and a few 2-bedroom apartments. They had different activities scheduled on different days. They tried to do some social things like movie nights and get-togethers. They also had a noon meal a day for an additional cost. The staff did a very good job explaining what was all available with the cost, what amenities were included, and what was a la carte that they did offer. They had a beauty/barbershop area. They had a store that had some necessities. Like if you need to bake a cake and you don't have a cake mix, you could probably find one down there, toilet paper, toothpaste, and things like that. All the stuff that you need was centrally located. They had an elevator and they also had underground parking. And then if you bought groceries, they had a cart that you could use to haul your groceries up to your apartment. "

"Bethany is a very friendly environment. They have many planned activities available for the residents. They plan bus trips to local stores for residents to go and purchase items for them self's and there living quarters. I have always been impressed with the friendly staff at Bethany. They are always very courteous, and always willing to give a helping hand to the residents and their visitors. When playing a game of bingo they encourage everyone to come in and join the game! It is always fun and encouraging to play. They have also invited a local child care center to bring the children in to play games with the residents. How great it is to see the young and old come together and play a fun game. Some days is music day where they will have local bands come and sing and play for the residents, there are many that still love to sing along! "
