Independent Living Communities in Rogers, MN

"Havenwood of Buffalo is an amazing senior and assisted living complex. I go there and knit with residents on Wednesday afternoons. The people and staff there are always so welcoming and friendly. I have made many new friendships through Havenwood of Buffalo. And the food there is unbelievable. Just ate there last week with a friend and I wish I could attach pictures to this review because the food was beyond amazing and delicious. We had great choices and it was so good. We also had great music entertainment, which they have quite often. My friends who live there are always doing lots of fun adventures from bus outings, to crafts and hobbies. I keep telling my husband I want to move in there! Love you all at Havenwood of Buffalo, Karen Kocer-Suerth"

"We chose Covenant Living of Golden Valley. We liked how happy everyone was, the involvement of people in the community, and the interactions that people had with each other. The residents were just interactive, happy, and welcoming. It just depends which room you get. Some have laundry, some don't, and it depends on the size of the room. But one thing about them, there's a buy-in option, but you can redecorate your room how you want it before you move in."

"My parents moved into Haven Wood in June 2023. Sadly, my mom passed away that fall, and I was initially concerned about how my dad would manage living on his own. Fortunately, he truly loves it at Haven Wood. The facility and rooms are top-notch, and my dad can’t say enough good things about the food — both the quality and variety are excellent. He especially appreciates the willingness of the kitchen staff to accommodate "off-menu" requests, which makes meals feel more personal and enjoyable. While there has been quite a bit of staff turnover, everyone has been exceptionally kind and attentive to my dad, and I’m deeply grateful for the care he’s received."

"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 walking distance, too. Great transportation is available, from the light rail to buses. The rooms were beautiful with huge windows. They had lovely common spaces, indoors and outdoors. There were lots of arts in the hallways that I found to be very contemporary. There was a lively feeling about the staff and the residents I met. There were many happy people there."

"Elim Shores is a very nice place. It's moderately priced, and it also has senior waivers, which a lot of places do not have. If a senior runs out of money, they throw you out. This place does not do that. The staff is very nice, caring, helpful, cheerful, and efficient. Even the residents are nice. I live in the East Coast; the Midwest is a much different world. The facility is also clean. Being at Elim Shores seems to work out for my mom, financially, and you just get a sense that it's a good place.

"We went to visit for my brother. It was a very nice place with very nice people. We also ate there. The staff were wonderful people. I like that place. I like that they had a lot of activities. They had more amenities than the other place we toured. They're connected to a park there. You can go to the exercise room or swim in the pool."

"Havenwood Of Richfield has both Senior Living apartments and assisted living as well as memory care. We have visited friends in the senior living apartments, and our mother is in memory care. The senior living apartments.are beautiful, spacious and well laid out. Our mom‘s memory care apartment is also spacious and nicely laid out. Overall, Havenwood Of Richfield is a nice quality retirement community with friendly welcoming staff. For social interaction they have many occasions to meet for visits or activities with others, and have a variety of relaxing common spaces to use. Memory Care is a pleasant place and the staff works hard to be engaging, and supportive of each person’s needs. Our mother has an apartment in memory care that is spacious enough for our family to visit comfortably, enjoy meals in her apartment with her and play games at her dining table. We have even enjoyed ordering food from the kitchen in order to eat with our mother. We’ve had the meals brought to her room, out to the main dining room, and even the patio. (The hamburgers are excellent!) Havenwood of Richfield feels like a real small-town neighborhood house. Havenwood is not so big that you get lost in the facility yet big enough to meet a good variety of people. It is nestled in a quiet neighborhood which is nice for getting out doors for a walk and convenient to a number of stores and restaurants. When you walk out of your room, you definitely feel like you are meeting with the neighbors of your neighborhood. We appreciate that it has the main floor for the two wings of memory care, and has in the center, the lobby with its fireplace and seating areas, the main dining room, formal dining room, back “porch” room, mailboxes, Veterans wall, a small store for residence to pick up essential items or snack and a salon where services like podiatry are provided. We like that mom can be brought across to the other wing and participate in activities with people there which gives her variety and a feeling of being in a whole new place. She is also taken to the second floor chapel/theater room for the bimonthly church service. We like that Havenwood of Richfield is not a tall impersonal high-rise with many floors. Overall, it has very tasteful decor with a homey and welcoming atmosphere. Through seasonal touches of decor, the atmosphere is cheerful and welcoming as a home would be. The moment you walk into Havenwood of Richfield, you are met with a friendly smile. The staff get to know the residents and families by name. This helps us all feel welcome. Either through the suggestion box or direct conversations, they welcome suggestions you might have to make it an even better place to live! Havenwood helps us to feel part of a team who deeply cares about the quality of life for our mother. When residents and their families come to the main lobby they will find a counter set up with coffee, ice water, and fruit always ready and available which promote visits and connections. Fridays are popcorn day! Everyone seems to like that! You will also find a TV on above both sides of the fireplace. On the coffee side they usually have the news and the other side the TV shows beautiful scenery, wildlife or cute animals, etc.. In memory care, they have a main interactive TV which they can do multiple types of programming. They have a second TV above the fireplace that shows beautiful imagery, wildlife, nature, and cute animals. There is a patio outdoor space that gives residents an option to enjoy the sun, flowers, and walk the path. In fact, flowers are all around! At the entrance and front patio, on all three of the resident patios! Often cut flowers are arranged in small bouquets and set out on tables and counters. Flower arranging, and plant care is an activity the residents enjoy. The creative art room in Willow has a Tover interactive system for residents to play together or with their family members. Mom‘s grandson will play some of those games with her and also loves the old typewriter on the desk! As with any new place, give it time and let staff know if there’s anything you’re concerned about. They are eager to help make the transition as smooth as possible. We are very thankful for this community for our mother and for us."

"The rooms are big and the staff are helpful, caring, and friendly!"

"I was there previously and it was very nice. I was in the independent living section, and I had a broken hand. The food was good. The staff was very personable."

"We're moving Dad in next weekend. Very clean, set up, very nice, with very friendly staff. It's a nice place, and easy to work with. The apartment was very spacious, and the one that we picked, he can be assisted or independent. So we'll never have to move him again. It has room for a kitchen table. The dining area was very nice, open, and spacious. I think there's three different places in that one you can eat at. It's just clean and well kept up. They have plenty of events, and an event calendar that should be very helpful. There was something going on every day. Shelly was excellent to work with."

"I went to tour the Ecumen Seasons at Maplewood. The staff was pushing my aunt more into a deeper level of memory care than she needed, and I wasn't happy about that. The rooms were big and they had a washer and dryer in the apartments. They had very nice grounds. This facility is actually very nice and big."

"Benedictine Windermere Way is a fairly new place. My daughter-in-law's mother enjoys it very much. It's very well done and it is very comfortable. It had excellent people running it. The staff was competent and the activities were excellent. As part of their COVID protocols, you have to wear a mask, put antiseptic on your hands, and keep distance from the people. So, they are very cautious with that."

"The staff here is so wonderful and caring, they always go out of their way to make sure everyone feels at home. I have made many friends since moving in, residents are so friendly. They have a lot of fun activities to join that keep us busy. The food is great and I love not having to clean up after the meal!"
