Assisted Living Communities in Saint Cloud, MN

"My father is at St. Benedicts Senior Community. It is very clean. There's a lot of good care. Everyone has been very kind and informative. They're very friendly and professional. I have not tried their lunch, but my father says that the meals are good. They have a calendar of activities. He does not participate, but that's just his personality. They have movie nights. They had a violinist come in. They have bingo. They have a little keyboard set up. They had a guitarist that came through. The place is up-to-date. The rooms are clean. They're better than I've seen at some of the other places I've toured."

"The Sanctuary at St. Cloud was excellent. They have beautiful rooms. It's a new building. I'm extremely pleased. They only have assisted living and memory care, and I'm amazed that a memory care place can be as lovely as that. The people really know their business and give you the information that you need. The service provided is wonderful. They can choose their meals so not everybody is eating the same thing. They have two dining rooms, so they don't have a large crowd of people in one. They have a very fine activities director, she is full of life, and she has volunteers who assist her. The staff is excellent, and they have nurses and CNAs, so the care seems very fine. My sister likes it very much. It's beautiful and very appropriate. I have no complaints."

"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 wasn't impressed with Wildwood Assisted Living. For one thing, when we walked in there, it smelled like pee. I didn't see an elevator. So, how did these people in wheelchairs get from the first floor to the second floor? The rooms were small. The staff who assisted us during the tour was nice."

"Chateau Waters was very nice. It's clean, homey, and nicely decorated. Everybody seems very friendly. The person who accommodated me was very nice. She showed us all around and answered our questions. The apartments were very nice also. The food looked good and the menu sounded good. I think it's a little more expensive than some of the others I looked at for meals and rent, but it's very nice. They have a lot of things available. They have a bus where they take you shopping or to the grocery store in groups. They offer crafts and card playing. They would take you once in a while to a play or a movie theater, too, although they have their own movie theater on the premises."

"My wife is at Good Shepherd Community-Sauk Rapids and it has been a very good experience. People are very friendly and very caring. They visit with you like one of their own. They want to help you as much as they can. It's a very nice place and it's very clean. It's freshly painted. It has nice carpet on the floor. It's well-kept and really in good shape."

"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. "

"My mother is at Edgewood Sartell memory care. They have assisted living as well. I like that they literally check on my mother every 30 minutes around the clock, and they come and get her for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I was very impressed with how clean the place was. They have support classes, and I went to one when I was there. They gave us all a journey book about Alzheimer's. I'm impressed with the care that they're giving her. She plays bingo, and I like that they don't make her do things she doesn't want to do. They had a gentleman come in and play music. They have arts and crafts, and they take them all outside for storytelling time. They have a calendar of what they do every day. Those who are capable can go out and help plant the garden. I was very pleased with the food. It's a beautiful facility. They have little memory rooms from back in the day, which is really cool. They also make sure she showers."

"We toured Country Manor Campus. The people were very cordial about taking us around and showing us the place. We had a lovely time there. Their restaurant is a public restaurant, so it is different. The public eats there as well. We were in the part that was independent living, and they had some nice big units, which we were interested in. It's a lovely place, and the people are coming and going. They have a shop there where you can buy just about anything you want. There are different sections that are spread out, which is kind of nice. Walking outside would be pleasant; you're not walking around in traffic. It's more like out in the country. There are other stuff around, but it's not as congested. We like that part of it, too. The place is clean, neat, and maintained. When you converse with people who live there, you get a feeling that they're happy and content."

"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 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."

"My parents will be moving in. They've already rented an assisted living apartment. I know the building is not new, but it appeared to be new, very clean, and homelike. It had very comfortable seating scattered throughout the hallways and corners. I couldn't have looked for a nicer place. The staff couldn't have been better. They were knowledgeable and welcoming. We were shown their activity schedule, and they also showed us different areas of the campus where they do activities. It's an excellent schedule. We checked their dining room, and we viewed several of the apartments, the exercise room, the activity room, and the family party room, and we found nothing negative at all. After they saw this, they didn't want to look anywhere else. It was everything we were looking for."
