"The people were very friendly, helpful, and explained everything that they'd be doing for my mother. They don't have the amenities that she used to have when she was in a bigger place before. They just have their room and their lunch room. There's a front porch and a back area. They have pots and some plants growing in it. It's just like a little house area; it's a small place. They do different stuff. They do facials. They work out. They have different people come in and sing. They go for walks and do things. They have someone that comes in and cooks their meals. We haven't tried it, but it smelled good. It's just that they have window air conditioners, which we didn't know about when we moved her in there. She keeps unplugging it all the time. Her room gets hot, so we have to call them to go check her air. But I mean, I'm sure there's a lot of places that have that. She unplugs everything and takes the batteries out of everything, so it's not their fault."

"Havenwood of Buffalo is an amazing senior and assisted living complex. I go there and knit with residents on Wednesday afternoons. The people and staff there are always so welcoming and friendly. I have made many new friendships through Havenwood of Buffalo. And the food there is unbelievable. Just ate there last week with a friend and I wish I could attach pictures to this review because the food was beyond amazing and delicious. We had great choices and it was so good. We also had great music entertainment, which they have quite often. My friends who live there are always doing lots of fun adventures from bus outings, to crafts and hobbies. I keep telling my husband I want to move in there! Love you all at Havenwood of Buffalo, Karen Kocer-Suerth"

"We chose Southern Oaks Place for our parents because it's a smaller community, which makes it easier for my dad to walk to dinners or to get meals. The other ones were huge. He has a little bit of a problem walking, so this is more intimate. It's very clean. Even though it's along a very busy street, you don't hear the traffic. The grounds were nice. The people were nice. The dining area looked really good. The food had a good selection."

"We had my mom ready to go into Cornerstone Assisted Living, but we'd have to put her into memory care there. Having seen other memory cares, it's probably the best one but that's a drastic change, and it's not an environment I would want to put my mother in at this point. It's a very nice community, and the assisted living was beautiful. We toured the assisted area where they have a dining area, a solarium and activities. It was very nice. My mom would have to be sent down into the lower level, which they lock up unless family comes. It's a newer community, but the memory care rooms were pretty small, which my mother doesn't like. They also wouldn't allow pets, and that was a big deal for her too, and that was probably the last straw for her. From what I understand, it's normal for any memory care community."

"I love it here at Ecumen Prairie Lodge. I feel safe and sound. The food is great. They are all pretty fantastic people. They are fun to be with and I love them. I don't want to be anywhere else. The place is simple. We have coffee here any time you want it, or juice, and there's plenty of water. They wash our clothes and take good care of us. They take us to different therapies. So far, I love it. They are excellent. They are very kind and very caring."

"I toured Copperfield Hill and I saw that it was a nice place to live if you would need assistive care or health care. The rooms were nice. They have two separate rooms for people so they don't have to share a room, they have their own separate rooms but they share a living area. They have like a little kitchenette and a sitting area. Then they showed me where they eat and where they have their activities and where they play games. It's not a huge place or anything, so you walk in and there's the sitting area. They have a chapel there, and they were doing arts at the time. I liked the area, it was a nice-looking room with a bed and a dresser."

"Covenant Living of Golden Valley Assisted Living and Memory Care is an amazing place because across the street sort of on the same campus, they have the skilled nursing care and the nursing homes. So if somebody needs assisted living, memory care, and a nursing home, they're the first priority on all those lists to get into the place. When we went there, they were kind of decorated for the Olympics, and it looked very welcoming. They had like a gift shop, a pool, and a hot tub. The exercise staff met us, and they showed us a weight room. They customize physical activity depending on what level the resident can do so that they can get a lot of exercise. They had like a miniature golf set up and a basketball hoop indoors where people could play. I felt like they also catered to the families that would come and visit there. Let's say you have younger kids, there was some different stuff they could do, too. They had a fountain where the courtyard where families could have a picnic outside. They kind of thought of everything, but of course, the price tag was a lot higher. It was probably the most expensive, but there's a lot of amenities that you get along with it. They were also redoing some of the units. We couldn't see one of the units because they were in the process of painting and remodeling it. So they seemed to update the facility a lot. The staff who gave the tour was very observant because he could tell that my mom was kind of tired from all the walking and touring that day. And so he offered to push my mom in a wheelchair, so she didn't have to do all that walking because it is a pretty big campus. I just thought he seemed very in tune with his clients and the fact that he offered that was nice. The food looked amazing, too. There were multiple different choices. They have formal dining, casual dining, and a canteen line. I couldn't say anything negative about the place. But it was very expensive. You have to be pretty affluent to be able to afford to live in a place like that. The one convenient thing is that my mom could drive around a block and get to her dialysis center from there."

"We visited Lino Lakes Assisted Living and toured their memory care for my father. We liked the room because it was a decent size for his needs. It's a nice location because it's close to us, as we live in the area. Inside, it was beautiful, big, and didn't have that nursing home smell. They have a lot of room for the residents to eat. They also have music, I think, once a week. The staff who gave the tour was awesome. There are also RNs 24/7, so I like it there. We did a lot of online searches, and all of the places are pretty much the same. It's just a matter of the people, and the people were really kind there. The residents also seem to be nice."

"Sunrise of Golden Valley was beautiful. It's a lovely facility. I thought the setting was beautiful outside. It had a beautiful entrance. The food plan was wonderful. The staff was very good at showing us around and explaining everything. Unfortunately, we cannot use the facility because of my friend's level of care needed. Overall, everybody that we saw in the hall was very friendly. The menu looked wonderful, and the tables were set very nicely. It's a very welcoming atmosphere. I thought the rooms were pretty good. They're very adequate."
