Assisted Living Communities in Fargo,

"We toured Edgewood in Fargo and it was very nice. A young man took us around, and showed us everything. He did a very nice job. He was very friendly. The facility has independent living, assisted living, memory care, and was very large. The rooms were typical of memory care, around 250 sq. ft. They were nice, clean, and had their own bathrooms."

The Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society is excited to announce we have opened new senior housing apartments in Fargo - where all faiths are welcome. This new senior community will feature 48 apartments - all on one floor - offering assisted living and basic care services. A new partnership was developed between the Good Samaritan Society and the North Dakota District of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) to continue our mission in Fargo. LCMS has built a church that is connected to the senior living community, sharing space and services – allowing residents to be part of a church community and allowing the church members to serve the spiritual needs of the residents.

"My dad moved into Eventide Fargo two weeks ago. I have nothing but good things to say about them. It's nice because they offer weekly housekeeping for him, so he's got that service, and not all places do that. He gets 30 meals a month, which is very nice as well. The community is friendly. The staff looks out for him. One of the selling points for us was the fact that he could transition to assisted living without having to move. They would just increase his services where he is, and it's also attached to a nursing home. So if he needed at some point a higher level of care, they do work together with the nursing home staff to help with that transition. So those are just real assets, I felt. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I only ate here once, which is the day we moved in. They gave us free meals. The family got a free meal there, too, cause we were helping him move in, which was a nice touch. So I've only eaten once, but my dad tells me that the food is good. It's clean. At that time the person was very friendly and explained to us because we didn't know how to manage at all, or what to do. And the person didn't get impatient with us because we misunderstood some things and we ended up going like 10 minutes before we were supposed to before it ended because we thought you could come any time during that time. You're supposed to be there in the beginning and then it ends. So we had like 10 minutes, but we didn't understand that. They were just so nice to us about that and explained how it worked. But they made sure we got food anyway. My dad says people are always there to help him because he has a power wheelchair. The breakfast is a continental one, so he has to carry the food to the table for breakfast and they help him do that. He does cards, every day they have a card group and game cards, and games, and he had a great time playing with them the other day. I know they have a chapel here as well. So they have religious services, and they have free transportation to medical appointments on Tuesdays and Thursdays. But, there are other community options for other days and other kinds of appointments, but you have to pay for those. They have a pub, they have happy hour, you know, dad doesn't do that. Dad went to a Bible study he enjoyed."

"At New Perspective West Fargo, the layout of the studio apartment units was unique. The staff was very nice, very helpful, and very compassionate. They put a welcome sign in the entryway when we had a scheduled tour. It's a very nice facility. The only reason we didn't choose that facility is because of the location. I live in Grand Forks, and it's an hour away from where my dad lives. Otherwise, I had nothing negative to say about it. They had a lot of things to offer, and I liked the proximity to local establishments, like a restaurant across the street and a grocery store across the street. The only negative thing I didn't like about it is that they don't have transportation. They only do group transportation. If they were going on an outing, like a trip to the grocery store, it would be for the group, but if my dad had a doctor's appointment or something, he'd have to call a taxi. They had a little fitness area, a PT area, a salon, a little convenience store, a little cafe deli area, and a library area."

"My mom likes it there at Riverview. She says the food is good. They have a library and a pool, and the apartment itself is arranged nicely. It's a nice apartment with big windows, it's not gloomy, and it has a tiny kitchen so she can do some cooking if she wants."

"I toured Sheyenne Crossings. I have nothing bad to say about it. You walk in, it's very, very inviting. The staff was very accommodating. The facility was extremely clean and amenable to seniors. It was a very nice building. You could tell it's newer than some of the other ones. The dining area looked very nice. The studio rooms were kind of small, but the one-bedrooms were perfect. The courtyard was big and open. They had a fire pit. They had seating outside all over the place. It was very nice."

"My in-laws have moved into Eventide Sheyenne Crossings. We chose this community because that was in their own community and they're from West Fargo, and my father had stayed there before in the TCU unit and so he preferred to go there. Also, they happened to have an opening. Eventide Sheyenne Crossings is very nice. It's very easy to get to my parents' room. Their room is on the first floor, so I like that piece. As far as the amenities are concerned, it is very clean and very easy to access. Everybody from the receptionist to the nursing staff, they're friendly, approachable, and very helpful. I've looked at menus and I've asked my in-laws, and they are very happy with the choices and the meals that they've been having. I have seen the calendar of activities, and it looks like they're trying to be very active. They have moved into assisted living, but we chose it because it has memory care. After all, my mother-in-law has Alzheimer's, and she may be transitioning within a year. "

"The folks in administration are VERY helpful and accommodating at a difficult time and provide answers to all our questions. The staff that actually provides daily care are attentive and engaged with the residents. The whole experience is informal and very supportive of the resident and the family. The facility is very accessible, clean, comfortable and friendly. The food is good and the staff makes sure we are aware of resident needs and how to best meet them. Overall a very positive experience during a difficult family time."

"We had an in-person tour of Kinder Care Assisted Living Homes. I liked the rooms. You furnish the room yourself to your liking. They all had private bathrooms, which is great. The facility was very clean. The people sat down and ate when we were there. The staff was very nice. She was very accommodating and answered the questions we had. Everything was great. The people were great. The dining area was OK. They were all sitting at one long table. It reminded me of a family style cafeteria. They had tours. They play games. They had a hot tub and a swing out door for easy access, which was really nice. They have different types of things available. They have barbecue grills for more in the summertime, and a screened-in porch, which looks pretty nice."

"We placed my mom at Eventide on Eighth Care Center. It is an excellent place. The staff is good at answering the phone, you don't get a machine, they return my calls, and they are very pleasant and very welcoming. They seem to care about my mother and they seem experienced, and they are very helpful with what we need. My mom's room is small but we had it decorated nicely, so it's just perfect for her. The food is fine. There's a movie theater, a library, a little grill if visitors want something to eat, and there's an outdoor space."

"My mom has been in Serenity Assisted Living and Memory Care for three-and-a-half years now, and our experience has been good. The people working there are very friendly. They have a variety of rooms, like one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and then just one room. I looked at a few other communities; Serenity Assisted Living and Memory Care was one of the nicer ones, and we actually knew the owners, so that helps. The food is OK, too. Before the COVID shutdown, they had groups come in once a week to sing or play instruments. They also had bingo, movies, and crafts."

"My husband has moved into Hawley Senior Living. There weren't many with availability, so we had to choose from those that were. It's a small town with dedicated staff and it's nearby. The care is excellent. The cleanliness is excellent. The food is excellent. He has Parkinson's disease and Lewy body dementia and any place he goes will struggle with keeping him safe because HIPAA rules are such that there can be no rails. He's not cognizant enough to turn his call light on when he needs help, so he's fallen about 12 times. The last fall a week ago, he broke his femur, so he's been in the hospital since then but is scheduled to return to Hawley Senior Living tomorrow for therapy. The food is home-cooked style. He's never complained. He eats everything. It's congregate dining and that's good for him to get out of his room. Also, their activity director is excellent and works hard even with his physical and mental impairment to make him involved. The staff is excellent, caring, and professional. They take residents who are able outside of the facility, fishing, to the Dairy Queen, for rides, just to enjoy the outdoor setting. They have a beautiful garden. In-house, they have activities every day, some he's able to do, some he is not, playing cards, bingo, church, and individuals come in to entertain. The vacuuming could be a little better."
