Independent Living Communities in Burnsville, MN

"My mom will move into Oakdale Commons. When my mom and I were there, she just fell in love with the apartments because they had a nice little patio, a walk-in shower, and it had its own washer and dryer. They had a gym. They also had a conference roo..."

"I liked Havenwood of Richfield really well. I just didn't like it being on the other side of the river from me. The rooms were quite spacious, but the kitchens were probably a third of what the apartment was. For a one-bedroom apartment, it is kind o..."

"My friend will be moving to Benedictine Living. The food was fantastic and the rooms were awesome. I toured the memory care unit and it was the nicest one I've seen yet. It was spacious, bright, and cheerful. The people seemed nice. They were very he..."

"I toured Oxboro Heights, an independent living community. It was so new that it didn't have a lot of character for me. I like antiques, and everything there is pretty modern. But on the other hand, everything was very neat, clean, and organized. It w..."

"Havenwood of Maple Grove seemed very nice. They didn't have the unit that I wanted available. So, I kind of didn't go back there. The rooms were nice. There were some things that I didn't like. There weren't many closets. I didn't meet very many peop..."

"I toured Chapel View Senior Health & Living Senior Living Community. It seemed very nice. The staff was very friendly. I didn't spend a lot of time there, but what I saw, I thought was really good...."

"I visited Lofts on Rose's independent living. Everybody whom I talked to and dealt with was extremely nice, but I know my daughter would freak out if I lived in that neighborhood because it's in a bad one. That was the main problem. It's also a littl..."

"I toured Ecumen Seasons at Maplewood. It has a continuum of care, in other words, if I can manage it in independent living, I can and if I need more help, I can add more services. So, it's not either or. It's more flexible in terms of what services I..."

"I toured Gable Pines. They can't take my wife because she is non-ambulatory. It's a fine place and the staff was very helpful. I didn't look at a room because we didn't get that far when they found out what kind of care my wife would need, but that's..."

"Abiitan Mill City is my favorite. If I wanted to stay in Minneapolis, I would move there. It is located near the river. The streets are lined with trees. There are lots of good restaurants within walking distance. The Guthrie Theater is within walkin..."

"I toured Elim Shores. I like the price of the unit. And it was located by a lake, so that was another plus for me. It also had the capability of having assisted living, and you would stay in your own unit, and not move, so it has services where you l..."

"We toured Brookdale Edina. The person sitting at the front desk had been there 15 years, which we thought was a positive thing. There were other people that made indications that the staff there had longevity, which meant it was a positive place to w..."

"I went to Ecumen Seasons at Apple Valley. The place had a very welcoming atmosphere from the time I walked in and every time I contacted them and went back subsequently. Since my mom lives in Florida, I had to take pictures to bring down to her and s..."

"I did Holiday The Lodge At White Bear, and I am way too young and vibrant to move into that type of place. Advertisements in magazines make it look like it's people my age, but it's not. Plus, the expense would have been impossible. Their staff has b..."
