Assisted Living Communities in Waterville, MN

"My mom is living in Ecumen Prairie Hill currently. It is an assisted living with memory care unit attached. It is two years old and it is part of a corporation here in Minnesota. The facility is like a beautiful posh hotel when you walk in. It is just gorgeous and very contemporary. We live in St. Peter so it is close to us. We also like their memory care unit because they only have 12 people and there are two or three attendants to care for those 12 people at all times. So that's a lot more than in a nursing home. The unit is not yet regulated by the government, so they can have many people as they want to care for the people and it is wonderful. I would absolutely recommend this to others. The only thing I think they could improve on is the training and coordinating of their staff, which they are still doing. Because they are quite new, they are getting more nurses, RNs on-duty 24 hours, and LPNs in their memory care besides the other aides. "

" I have had numerous friends who have used Pathone’s services, and either they, or their family members have told me about the friendliness and support of the staff. they have also expressed satisfaction with the facility, and the care, and medical support they have received."

"Benedictine Living has a continuum of service. My brother-in-law started there in assisted living. And there, they have assisted living units that are furnished, so you don't have to provide your own furniture. They provide all the meals and nursing people come in and make sure you take your meds and they evaluate you initially. So there's a nurse involved to check on you daily. They provide the thing that hangs around your neck, that's like an alarm or as a bell. But it turns out that he doesn't need all the nursing services. They were very accommodating. After the first half of the month when he was there, they moved him to a less expensive independent unit. And they provided him with the furniture he needed to stay there, which was wonderful. At that point, he paid separately for his meals. They had a $1000 sign-in fee, and they even waived to keep him there for a short time. They're brand new and they're right next to the hospital. Their staff couldn't have been nicer. My brother-in-law is very picky, and he thought the food was great. They have activities."

"My sister stayed at Colony Court. It's an older building, but it was kept up well, but it was kind of confusing if you are in a memory unit as the hallways all looked the same. Her room was large, and it had a lot of room. They had some changeover, but the staff was good. They had a lot of activities. They had games. They had bingo. They had people come in and do a couple of church services a week. They brought in music people to play and entertain. There were two dining areas, so it was split up a little bit, but the food was good. They didn't have as many activities on the weekends. That's the only downfall."

"We are in Faribault Senior Living. They're very accommodating here and the people that live here seem to be pretty friendly. The food is good. It's not a real busy area. There's a highway out front, but it's pretty quiet here. The facility is very good. The only thing I ever do with them is play bingo. Some of the other places are higher priced and everybody seems to rate this place pretty well."

"We looked here. The facility was beautiful, and the staff was very friendly. They took time with us to answer our questions and to visit with us. We felt very at home there. I was really happy with that place. It was very nice. I'm not sure if that's what we're looking for right now, but if it were, it would be one that I would choose for my husband. We liked the fact that it wasn't so big and overwhelming. The staff went out of their way, all of them to speak with us. It was pleasantly decorated, and in a good location. It was more like a home living than an institution. The layout was easy to get around, it was easy to find things, not hard to get lost. The rooms were cozy and clean. It's a very clean facility."

"I've got a friend at Mill City Senior Living and she's got a one-bedroom apartment in assisted living. Her package includes meals and they've got 24-hour nurses available and so forth. They also have what they call independent living. It's quite new. It's probably a three- or four-year-old building. It's got a large reception area and it's got security. You don't get in without some kind of a key or a code and proper identification. It's got two dining rooms and private dining rooms on the first floor. It's got activity rooms on the second and third floors. It's got four or five elevators. They have the restaurant open so the residents can come down and eat because it's part of their package. It's also serviced to the public, so if you've got a visitor or if you don't have meals as part of your package, you can come down and just buy a meal. There's indoor parking for 20 vehicles. The indoor parking is a $100 a month ticket. For those who don't want indoor parking, there are plenty of asphalt parking spaces outside. My friend's apartment has its own kitchen, its own washer and dryer, a walk-in closet, a full bath, and the bedroom and the living room are about the same size. They've got one-bedrooms, studios, and two-bedrooms. My friend pays $100 for the indoor parking for her car. Everything else comes out of her SSI. They take 900 some dollars and what's left is hers. Her apartment itself without any services as far as pricing is like $2700 a month. She has an optional meal service. The facility is excellent. It's clean and maintained beautifully."

"We went to Milestone Senior Living Faribault. The staff was very friendly, took time to spend time with us and show us around. It's in a beautiful setting, and it's a rural setting with beautiful views. One of the things we liked about the individual apartments was some of them had balconies, and that was a nice feature. It was easy to get around, find your way around. It was clean. I would give it a favorable recommendation. I felt that the space was a little dark, the way the walls are painted, it's a dark tan, and it did not do a lot to lighten up the areas. The rooms are the same way, so there wasn't a lot of variance in color, and it made a lot of areas dark. I think a lighter paint would have made a big difference in the impression. The appearance is cozy, but it feels dark, and not as cheery and open as other places. The staff was excellent. The dining area looked very nice, very cheery, but they needed to lighten it up. The dining area itself was good. It's out in the country little ways, but the view is spectacular with the country area, the trees, and the grasses, so it's a very nice area."

"The facility was decent. It was fairly cleaned and most of the residents seemed happy there. A lot of the buildings were a bit old, but they were still in good condition. The staff was always friendly and seemed to care a lot about the residents. The one negative thing that I can think of is that the facility did not encourage its residents to excersise that much. The residents often sat in front of the TV and that was about it. They did call the bus every once in a while so that residents (supervised) could go to the store, etc. The facility always made sure that the residents ate enough and they were very strict about their medication schedules, etc. The facility was very employee friendly, for example, the facility allowed my mom to have me visit with the residents while she worked when I was eight. I got to socialize with the residents, which I enjoyed. I also think I made them happy too. "
