The Best Continuing Care Retirement Communities Communities in Stearns County, MN

"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."

"I stayed at Skylight Gardens and that was a dump. It was a terrible place to live. Although the rooms were updated and were very nice, the outside, like in the lobby and in the hallways, were just terrible. It was run down, had dirty carpets, and they were not painted. Just unbelievably poor. They had bingo and games, but they didn't have any entertainment. They had a bus that they take people out to ride to the grocery stores and stuff like that."

"My mom is in the independent living wing of Benedict Village. As far as I know everything is good. I've never heard a complaint about anything and I never had a single problem with them. They're always there to answer my questions. I think they're great. "

"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."

"Centennial Villa in Annandale wasn't too bad. The staff seemed very helpful, but we didn’t get a chance to tour the facility. We only looked at some of the private rooms. It was very nice, and they were very helpful and would have helped us get my mother moved, but she didn’t want to. As far as cleanliness and everything else, it was very nice. "
