Assisted Living Communities in Preston, MN

"I visited Spring Valley Estates and checked out their assisted living. They didn't have a lot of things going on, as far as activities were concerned. The person who gave me the tour was nice, though. The staff there was great. I would describe it as a beautiful place to live. The facilities were great and I liked it because it's in the countryside."

"My grandmother just got into a nursing home right here in town where she lives. It's the Good Shepherd Lutheran Services in Rushford. They definitely are personal with the residents. They don't just treat the disease or whatever's wrong with them, they treat their personal interests as well. The staff seems very knowledgeable about what they're doing and they seem really dedicated to the residents. The facility is pretty nice. It would be someplace I would want to go when I get older. It's a good location. It's kind of on top of a hill with really pretty views outside the windows. My grandmother doesn't participate in the activities, but they definitely have a very good activities director. They do bingo and have prizes too. They do movie nights too, so the activities are very good."

"I'm a resident of Evans Memorial Home. The food is about what's expected. I chose this facility because my family and brothers and sisters are relatively nearby. Generally, the facility is well-maintained. They have activities. They have a very good activities coordinator. I don't take advantage of many of the activities because I work at my own computer in my room. But everybody seems to be enthusiastic about the bingo. Plenty of patients are playing a lot of cards. People would do music. They have a lot of activities that are available for people who want them. Often times they have a little refreshment in the afternoon, like an ice cream social."

"My mother currently lives at Wildwood Grove. Her care is excellent; she has never complained about a meal, and really enjoys all the activities. She is safe and well-cared for.

"The location is pretty poor, there is little or no parking. Had to walk a fair amount to get to the building. The building is in several parts on older and part newer, I was in the older part. It was very old, but was in good repair and seems built to last. The place was pretty clean, better than my house but I did feel like the place would have cleaner if the staff wanted it to be. It wasn't very homey and really reminded me of a warehouse built to house people, there is very little personality or even a chance for people to make it theirs. There where some pictures on the wall, most reminded me of a bad dorm room from college. I had dinner there and it was OK at best. The food was pretty boring. "

"I went to Aase Haugen Senior Services. For an Alzheimer's patient, they allowed the flexibility to roam. I didn't see the rest of the facility, just that area. At this point, they're short of staff and they weren't taking senior patients. The staff was very friendly there. I had no concerns. The rooms were spacious. They were big. There was enough room for a bed and even a loveseat, a chair, and a TV, but I only looked at the private rooms. The dining area was spacious, too. There's plenty of room for residents. They weren't on top of each other. There's plenty of room for them all to sit. I kind of like that. Even though it was dated, it was very clean. However, when I went there and I wanted to follow back up with them, nobody did, and that I don't like so well. There was no follow back up from that facility. I would send my husband there still. I only met two staff and the ones I observed were interacting with the residents."

"I happened to visit Caledonia Care and Rehab Buck, once my co-worker asked me to accompany him as he wanted to see his Mother in law. This was my first visit to any such facility and I had fairly high standards in my mind. Once we entered the facility, we did not find any parking place. It took us some time to park the car at some distance away and then enter the facility. Staff was not present at the reception so we had no one to guide us to her room. We managed to find the room and met the old lady. She was very unhappy about the behavior of the staff and food standard. She wanted to quit this facility as soon as possible. We found the corridors untidy and the building in a miserable condition. Mean while, the waitress had brought her lunch. The quality of food was low and utensils were not clean too. The residents were quite a few in numbers and looked gloomy. I did not find any life or home like environment here. The nursing staff was not present and we found no arrangements to handle the patient. My co-worker promised the lady to find some alternate arrangements for her. I was not impressed with the facility and would not recommend for loved ones. "

"When we were looking for help with our mom who had Alzheimer's, we knew we had found the best Rochester had to offer at the The Waters on Mayowood! The high ceilings and beautiful rooms/community areas didn't make you feel like you were in a nursing home. Fireplaces, pool table, exercise room, 2 kitchens, etc were all in great shape! The staff took the time to learn what mom's like/dislikes were and made every effort to support her independence. The food was chef prepared and she could select what she wanted from tasty choices! The pet therapy, music therapy, massage therapy, field trips, guest musicians, and twice a day activity always gave her something to look forward to. Everyone she interacted with during her 4 years in the Specialty Care unit were caring, competent, and loved on her. They were just the best! Let me save you the time and hassle of touring multiple memory care places. If you want the best for your loved one, don't look any further than The Waters on Mayowood in Rochester!"
