Continuing Care Retirement Communities Communities in Woodbury, MN

"My mom lives in Timber Hills. They have different doors. So 6307 is the main entrance, the 6309 entrance is for the independent living side apartment. It's a big place, it's a very large community. They have one whole building full of apartments that are independent and then it all connects. They all have the same amenities, which is nice. And then they have the assisted living side. My mom lives on the side that's called the terrace. Then they have the Commons, which is assisted living. Then they have also, which was nice that I liked, 55 and up. They have townhomes that are part of this community. Right down the street, is a whole development. Part of this whole unit is townhomes, so people can move into a townhome, downsize from their homes, be part of this community and then transition to their needs as their needs change into the apartments as my mom did. My mom moved here. She started in the townhome with my dad. My dad passed away. She transitioned within three months. They had an independent apartment for her because you go to the top of the list, previous residents take precedence. So nice. This is a beautiful community. It's all wooded, overlooks a pond. She overlooks a pond and a wooded area full of deer. It's a great location. Every single person is available just like that. They're right on whether it's maintenance, what starts at the top flows down for the level and the integrity and everything. I mean, it doesn't matter if you're a receptionist, maintenance, a mailman. The level here is just exceptional. Everyone is wonderful. They have a deli and they also have a dining room with good breakfast and cinnamon rolls. It's beautiful, it looks like a big log home. They have amazing activities, and the value is really good, the apartments are large. They all have their own laundry room and big kitchen. My mom has a 2-bedroom, 2-bath, with her own laundry room and big kitchen."

"We chose Cherrywood Pointe because it has all the amenities that we were looking for. I am impressed with the staff and the layout of the building. It has a very classy feel to it. It doesn't feel dark and it is not overly religious. I like best the wooded area in the back and the walking path there. I also like that we can choose which meals we want for the person we are looking after. They have the usual activities like exercise classes, outings, group meetings, etc. They also have a theater for their residents. "

"I liked Waverly Gardens, but they had a long wait list. It was on a lake with wheelchair-accessible paths all around it, a solarium, a movie theater, a putting green, and a workshop for the men. "

"The staff at Walker Methodist Place has been very good. Mom has lived there for eleven years, and it has been a very good place for her for the most part. She started to need more care, and we have to add services such as the in-home caregivers we hire for her. For people who are really independent; it is a really good option. The staff are really good. The nursing staff has been great. The food is restaurant quality. Mom used to participate in Bridge, and Scrabble. They bring in people to do concerts. They do exercise classes. They have sing-alongs, Bible studies, and a lot of other things. "

"My mom is now in Towerlight on Wooddale, and it is wonderful. They seem to care about my mom as an individual and want to know details about her personal history so that they can create activities that will reach back into her past for memories that will make her feel good, safe, and taken care of. The staff is very caring and compassionate. They talk and converse with her and seem to enjoy her personality. The room, the food, and everything is top-notch. "

"We visited Vernon Terrace. It's an older building about 25 years old. We liked the location a lot, in fact we are moving this July. Most of the staff is okay. They have all kinds of activities like entertainment. They have a shuttle bus that takes you to places. "
