Independent Living Communities in Rogers, MN

"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 mother was a patient there. The staff was compassionate and caring. The leadership was attentive to suggestions for improvement. The rooms are small and the amount of natural light was limited. The food was good. "

"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.

"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."

"My mother-in-law is in Heritage Place. We chose it for the friendliness and the people there. We liked the size of the room. It's well kept, just exactly what we needed, and the cost was a big factor. They have an activity room, they have coffee, they play bingo, they bring in food occasionally, and connect with the senior center in Rogers for other activities."

"The Wellstead was great and really nice. I was ready to move in myself. The people were friendly and helpful. We had a full tour. "

"The Legacy of Saint Michael Senior Living was excellent. They have great food. They have good programs in place. Their apartments looked very adequate. They provide around-the-clock nursing care. The dining staff was very friendly and the lady who took us on our tour knew what she was talking about. They were very good to me. It's very expensive; that's its downfall."

"I toured Riverview Landing - Otsego, and I will be moving to their assisted living in a week. It's just one big building with four floors, and I will be in a little apartment on the fourth floor. Meals are included if you pay extra. The place looks clean, as far as I can tell right now. The person who showed me around was very nice. She's the only one I've met, and she's very good. They have a pool and a pickleball court. They also have activities and take the residents to outings."

"We’ve placed mother in Engel Haus. It has been very good. She does have her own apartment. Because the facility was new, the apartments are extremely clean, and it made it a little bit easier for her to meet new people. The staff is very caring, and they go out of their way to involve the people in the activities. They have coffee and cookies every afternoon at 2 o’clock. They have Wii bowling and sing-alongs. They’ve had local community actors come in. They’re doing a talent show. "

"My mother is here. I like that she is very well taken care of, so there aren't any worries. The rooms are very nice and clean with a bathroom and a separate dining area, and she has a window. It is nice and cheerful. The food looks OK. She gets a well-balanced diet with meat, vegetables, a little butter, and dessert. "

"My father has moved into Elk River Senior Living. I thought it was a nice place. There seems to be a lot of good staff and they have a lot of activities and it was close to me. He's in memory care. They have four-plate settings per table and they set a nice table with a goblet and a coffee cup and everything. They only have one choice of the meal though. They have a beauty salon, a theater room, and an activity room. It was so expensive, but I think it's a very nice, neat, and homey facility. There's a lot of help and they seem to always be on the ball and always seem to be around."

"My sister was so excited about the apartments. The place is very nice and clean, and the staff is nice. It’s got great free parking for guests as well as for residents. The care was very good, and I would recommend it. They have something going on every day. They have a community room, exercise room, and roof-top terraces which you can go out on. They also have boxes to plant something, and you can have your own garden. There’s a café with different things to choose from, like if you want a sandwich, you can just get from there. Otherwise, you can eat in their dining area."

"The Legends of Champlin has a lot of things available. However, you have to pay for underground parking. A friend of mine lives there, that's why I went and checked on them in the first place. Their apartments are not necessarily resident-friendly. For instance, the three-bedroom corner unit got a lot of square footage, but there's not a wall that you could put a queen size bed in with two end tables. The rooms were cut up strangely. I also felt I was being rushed during the tour. Other than that, the tour still went fine. They are considerably cheaper than the rest. They got multiple clubs started by residents, happy hour on Fridays, a workout room, a beauty shop, and a theater."
