The Best Memory Care Communities in Chisago County, MN

"My wife is at Stoney River Assisted Living & Memory Care. She just moved in. It's absolutely incredible. Last night they had a taco truck, and they fed everybody tacos. They have a Mother's Day party with lobster on bread. It has just been incredible. The staff members are very prompt, very courteous, very active, and involved. I had lunch with her, and they gave me a free lunch and an evening meal, and it was very good. Right now, the air conditioner is not working in her room, but I'm sure they'll get that fixed. Otherwise, it's been pretty good. It's a very nice facility. They have outdoor spaces. We've been sitting out there, and it's very nice. I haven't been to their PT or their gym at all yet. However, they have a schedule of activities. They have a movie night on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. They have games. It seems they have a lot of activities. They had fixed pricing, so here it was $9,125. No matter what they do, it's a fixed price. I like that better than some of the other ones where it's going to be $4,000 if my wife is at this level and $5,000 if she is at that level. I just didn't feel comfortable with that type of arrangement. I like the fixed one better. It was closest to my house, and it had the highest rating, too. Out of ten it was like 9.3, and it was one of the highest ratings of all of them that I looked at."

"My sister will be moving into Suite Living of Anoka. It is smaller. I like the idea that she'll have more one-on-one time with people there. I liked how it's just one floor. If she eventually needs to go to memory care, the memory care is in another part of it. I like how the rooms are just studio. Their activities program and their therapy impressed me. The people so far that I've met there, even the residents, were very kind. The physical therapy staff and the activities directors came and spoke to her, and were just really, really kind. My sister really liked them. The atmosphere and everything there seemed just perfect for my sister. The staff during the tour was fantastic. They're accommodating her really well. They came to where she's at now with a nurse, and they asked her all different questions to see how she could get around, how she gets in and out of bed because she's in a wheelchair, how she moves her wheelchair, and how she gets in and out of the shower. They're just really attentive to her and checking her out. The activities director came and spoke to her, telling her that she could do this, and that, and so on. I could tell my sister was impressed with them and how kind they were to her. She's kind of introverted, where she doesn't reach out to people, and I liked how she was doing that with these people. She felt comfortable. It's very clean and very organized. The people that I've seen sitting in the lounge areas and in the dining room were laughing and teasing each other. I probably met four of the staff, and they were all very, very, very nice, friendly, outgoing, and welcoming of my sister. It was very pleasant. It was very nicely laid out. They went in and right away repainted that room for her, and already are thinking of where we could put this and that. They had some really good ideas. I liked it a lot."

"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."

"I visited Suite Living of Ramsey. They were very, very nice except that a lot of them were from foreign countries, which I have no problem with at all, but my sister has difficulty speaking clearly due to a brain injury. I had a hard time understanding them, and I know that she would and that they would have a hard time with her because she doesn't speak very well. The staff was very friendly. They greeted me. When we did the tour there, they were all eating lunch, and they were just very, very nice. They have lunch with the people. They're there in case they start choking or if they need assistance. I liked it all. I just didn't think the communication was gonna work. Otherwise, it was a beautiful place. Everything is included in there. They don't get charged extra. The amenities are great. The activity director was bubbly, and they just had a Halloween party. She said, "I wish you would have been here an hour earlier. You could have been to our party." I'm in the process of filling out all that paperwork for them so that they can meet her needs. It is very clean. It is a smaller place, so I think they have more time to devote to the people. They have games. They have devotion hour every day, which I like. They also have music coming in all the time. They have a meet-and-greet activity or just hang out on a Friday night. They have crafts. I've seen some of the food that they had, and I asked one lady who lived there, "How's your food? How's your lunch?" She said, "It's so good here, the food's great." The place is very spotless, clean, and very well laid out."

"Ecumen was nice. The staff was friendly. It was a nice place. There was somebody there to greet you. We looked at the rooms, and they were nice. They had one-bedrooms, two-bedrooms and studio apartments. It was a nice location, and it was a nice setting. The dining area was very nice, too. "

"North Branch was good and very nice. They do bingo, puzzles, and music. The staff was busy with the residents. "

"My brother has moved into Lindstrom Senior Living in their memory care. The staff is excellent. Everything is very nice and he's very content there. The only issue I had is the increase in rent was over $2,000, and that's a lot of money in my opinion. The care is wonderful. He has no complaints and he's settled in. He only has memory issues. Otherwise, physically, he's just fine. He seems to be real happy with the food. He's not eager to do the activities, so they convince him to come and join them. They're very good about it. Cleanliness is excellent. The service is really good. Value for money is very good. They're attentive."

"I moved to Meadows on Fairview. I just have everything I want and everything I need. The people here are perfect. They're very helpful. I don't do that much. I don't play any games. I read a lot, and I'm just very happy to be here. They take very good care of me."

"Cherrywood Pointe of Forest Lake was great. I was looking at the two-bedroom, and it had two baths, a living room and a kitchen, but it's smaller than the other one we visited. Everything was on main floor even the laundry. However, it would be more complicated there because of underground parking and there were long hallways to get to my room, but almost anything was available there. It's just an awesome place. It's the best assisted living that I've ever seen. "

"The rooms at Comforts of Home-Saint Croix Falls were very small. It had activities and a very small beauty shop. The staff was very friendly, very informative, and answered all of my and my sister's questions. I did not like that they didn't have a shower and you'd have to go down the hall. Other than that, everything was ok and it's very, very clean. Because it was in the hills, it was in a nice area."

"I found Rushseba Station for my wife. It's not too far away, and it's a newer facility. It seemed like a good fit for her. She's in a memory care unit, and it seems like a very nice atmosphere and the people are really friendly. They've been very nice and helped me. When I asked many questions, they provided the answers for me. Right now she's doing crafts. She has been there for one month now. All the staff all wear masks, and I wear a mask when I go on to visit."

"My parents are now situated in an assisted living at GracePointe. They are settled in and doing well. It is a very large community. They have independent living apartments for seniors, they got the assisted care with what care they need, and they have a nursing home. It encompasses all of those facilities. The staff seems to be very caring. They really help the residents a lot. The meals seem to be excellent, too. It has been very positive. They have church services and bingo, a theater if they want to watch movies, there is a library available, and they have little ice cream socials. There are plenty of different activities; however, the place is very large. Because of the bigness of it, it is sometimes a little bit difficult getting to and from different places."
