The Best Memory Care Communities in Anoka County, MN

"We went to see the memory care because I'm pretty sure that's where my mom's going to end up. The tour was very good and informative. It's a very nice place. They looked very engaged with their people, and it was nice to see. They communicated with them one-on-one and answered their questions. Especially the staff member that I was with, she was busy, but as we walked by, she engaged with the residents, and that was good. They have assisted living there too, and the memory care people can come out and enjoy their activities there too. It's a more open and lively area, which is good. They have a large screened-in porch, and they have an outside area on the ground level for memory care. It looked very open, very clean, and everybody was very friendly. Memory care has its own personal shower, which is nice. You don't have to go down the hall for it. The room service was adequate for a full-size or twin-size bed and dresser, small table, and that kind of thing. It should work out just fine."

"We toured Suite Living of Brooklyn Park. When you walk in the door, it's very inviting, very hospitable. You felt comfortable. It was pretty. The girl who took us on the tour was very knowledgeable and forthcoming. We were happy with the facility. It was a smaller facility, so I think my mom would get good care. The rooms are nice for her to be in. If I had to choose a place, it would probably be that place. It's very clean and updated."

"My sister moved to Suite Living of Spring Lake Park. It's very clean, airy, and open. The staff is friendly and nice, and the food is good. However, they don't have enough staff. They have bingo and cards and go out and eat if they want."

"We looked this facility. The person that I spoke to there, her name was Christa, was very knowledgeable and answered my questions. I liked that she knew a lot of the residents and interacted with them, and they seemed genuinely happy to see her. I've observed them doing something during their group time, and it looked like the residents were having fun during the group time. The rooms looked pretty nice, there was a nice big window in all of them. They were a little bit smaller than some of the other places, and if you want to use the elder waiver, you'd have to have a roommate. I also saw the showers and that looked fine. They have a couple of TV areas and a dining area."

"I toured. It was new and updated, and it was very nice. We saw the studio room and it was nice and updated, but it was a little bit small. The dining area was nice, spacious, new, and updated. It was more like a restaurant. It had a bar area, and they do happy hours there, and then it had a seating area. We saw bingo going on and some residents were meeting in the lobby with their loved ones. The staff was very friendly. It didn't have as much outdoor space as I would have hoped, but they had it beautifully maintained. It was definitely in a more industrial area."

"I toured Rakhma Peace Home and what I liked best was the homey atmosphere. I was only there for less than an hour, but the staff was welcoming. Plus, they looked happy and that was important to me. I met about three or four residents, and they all seemed happy and engaged. They were laughing and talking. It has a sort of loving, warm, family atmosphere. It's a very unique home because it was built as a house. It was transformed decades ago into a duplex so there is a kitchen upstairs and there's a kitchen downstairs, a dining room upstairs, and a dining room downstairs. There are only two bathrooms, one up and one down. I think there are six or seven residents. They have narrow, dark stairs and that's what prevented me from pursuing it. I didn't think it was safe for my sister to navigate narrow, dark stairs in the middle of the night or the middle of the day. They looked and felt dangerous. They wanted her to share a room, but the room was the size of a walk-in closet, and I don't see how she could have shared that with another person. That would have been terrible. I also think it seemed a little risky to have people with dementia have access to kitchens, stoves, and burners. The person who took me on a tour was good."

"Visiting gave me a really good feeling about the place. It's an older facility, but it was kind of homey. I liked the room I saw because it had a view of Lake Owasso. The staff was very welcoming. The common areas looked very comfortable. Everything that they showed me looked nice. They were very helpful and just great to work with."

"We toured Rakhma Joy Home. It was an older home. I mean, all of their homes are older homes in really nice neighborhoods. If residents want to take walks, they will go with them or follow them to make sure they stay safe. It felt more like it was somebody's home. They have both private rooms and shared rooms. They seem to have social time with the residents. They had outings for the residents. A critical thing for my sister is that she's a smoker. So going to a larger institution where she had to be off the property to smoke was not something that we could look at. There were other smokers in the house and they could smoke outside together. So that's another social aspect for her."

"We're trying to place my brother here. The staff was really nice. They have dining. They have places for people to meet up. The layout is good. The elevators are good. The rooms are big. It's good."

"I have found Suite Living of Maple Grove for myself. It's five minutes away from my sister. It's nice. It's one level. It only has 12 residents for assisted living and then 12 residents for memory care. They're very nice and really polite there, and I like that about them, and then I can volunteer there too anytime I want. I can do bingo, and if somebody's sick or doesn't wanna do it, I can do that for them. There's painting, coloring, and games, and all this other fun stuff. It's a lot of fun. I'm so excited. They're very caring and nice to me. The staff member who gave the tour was very nice and outgoing and answered all my questions. She was very polite and considerate. The nurse that came over and talked with me said, "You're a good fit," and she was very polite and kind too. The dining area was very beautiful and very clean. The physical appearance of the facility was perfect."

"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 people, but the person who gave the tour was very nice. It was clean."

"We were able to see three different rooms at 1Rose Arbor & Wildflower Lodge and they all look great. We would go more for the 1-bedroom and we really liked that one. If things worked out for us, that's the one we would go for. They were all so very nice and the staff we met with spent over an hour with us. We were so pleased. The staff that assisted us during the tour was very nice and took extra time to talk to us. He did a very good job. The facility was all very clean and they offered us coffee or tap water."
