Memory Care Communities in Coon Rapids, MN

"I love it here at Ecumen Prairie Lodge. I feel safe and sound. The food is great. They are all pretty fantastic people. They are fun to be with and I love them. I don't want to be anywhere else. The place is simple. We have coffee here any time you want it, or juice, and there's plenty of water. They wash our clothes and take good care of us. They take us to different therapies. So far, I love it. They are excellent. They are very kind and very caring."

"I toured Rose Arbor & Wildflower Lodge. The facility is clean. The people are friendly. The price is very inexpensive. They have got a lot of amenities that they can do. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. I like their setup for the bedrooms. They have a nice big bedroom with a nice closet with kitchen amenities. The atmosphere felt serene."

"We visited Lino Lakes Assisted Living and toured their memory care for my father. We liked the room because it was a decent size for his needs. It's a nice location because it's close to us, as we live in the area. Inside, it was beautiful, big, and didn't have that nursing home smell. They have a lot of room for the residents to eat. They also have music, I think, once a week. The staff who gave the tour was awesome. There are also RNs 24/7, so I like it there. We did a lot of online searches, and all of the places are pretty much the same. It's just a matter of the people, and the people were really kind there. The residents also seem to be nice."

"I toured Copperfield Hill and I saw that it was a nice place to live if you would need assistive care or health care. The rooms were nice. They have two separate rooms for people so they don't have to share a room, they have their own separate rooms but they share a living area. They have like a little kitchenette and a sitting area. Then they showed me where they eat and where they have their activities and where they play games. It's not a huge place or anything, so you walk in and there's the sitting area. They have a chapel there, and they were doing arts at the time. I liked the area, it was a nice-looking room with a bed and a dresser."

"My parents moved into Brookdale North Oaks about a month ago. The staff is great. They're good with the patients, the residents. They understand how to deal with people with memory issues. And, the food is a big deal. When I vetted a senior living, I knew the food would be a big deal. Also, I was looking for a place that had an area where they could go outside, a patio of some type, and Brookdale had two. So that's good. Also, they had one of the bigger rooms, which was the deciding factor when it came down to two different places as we were placing both of them at the same time. The facility is great. The dining area is not just a bunch of tables and chairs. They have it set up like a restaurant. They used tablecloths on the tables that give it a warmer feel, less industrial or commercial feel than some other places that they've been in."

"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."

"Covenant Living of Golden Valley Assisted Living and Memory Care is an amazing place because across the street sort of on the same campus, they have the skilled nursing care and the nursing homes. So if somebody needs assisted living, memory care, and a nursing home, they're the first priority on all those lists to get into the place. When we went there, they were kind of decorated for the Olympics, and it looked very welcoming. They had like a gift shop, a pool, and a hot tub. The exercise staff met us, and they showed us a weight room. They customize physical activity depending on what level the resident can do so that they can get a lot of exercise. They had like a miniature golf set up and a basketball hoop indoors where people could play. I felt like they also catered to the families that would come and visit there. Let's say you have younger kids, there was some different stuff they could do, too. They had a fountain where the courtyard where families could have a picnic outside. They kind of thought of everything, but of course, the price tag was a lot higher. It was probably the most expensive, but there's a lot of amenities that you get along with it. They were also redoing some of the units. We couldn't see one of the units because they were in the process of painting and remodeling it. So they seemed to update the facility a lot. The staff who gave the tour was very observant because he could tell that my mom was kind of tired from all the walking and touring that day. And so he offered to push my mom in a wheelchair, so she didn't have to do all that walking because it is a pretty big campus. I just thought he seemed very in tune with his clients and the fact that he offered that was nice. The food looked amazing, too. There were multiple different choices. They have formal dining, casual dining, and a canteen line. I couldn't say anything negative about the place. But it was very expensive. You have to be pretty affluent to be able to afford to live in a place like that. The one convenient thing is that my mom could drive around a block and get to her dialysis center from there."

"We toured Sunrise of Roseville. There were 45 or 50 people there for assisted living, and everybody was happy. The apartments were very nice, including the one on the ground floor and the back overlooking some parkland and stuff. It has a very nice two-bedroom, and it seemed like a nice size. Everything looks good about it. There's a refrigerator, but no stove because they provide all the meals. They serve three meals a day, and you can get snacks anytime. Breakfast starts at maybe eight, and you can get all day long. They have different menu specials every day, like lunch, maybe noon to one, and then dinner at 5 to 6, but there's also a snack bar where you can pick up popcorn and cookies and other things, and you can pretty much ask for anything, and they'll be happy to give it to you. We had breakfast there and it was great."

"Sunrise of Golden Valley was beautiful. It's a lovely facility. I thought the setting was beautiful outside. It had a beautiful entrance. The food plan was wonderful. The staff was very good at showing us around and explaining everything. Unfortunately, we cannot use the facility because of my friend's level of care needed. Overall, everybody that we saw in the hall was very friendly. The menu looked wonderful, and the tables were set very nicely. It's a very welcoming atmosphere. I thought the rooms were pretty good. They're very adequate."

"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."

"We had my mom ready to go into Cornerstone Assisted Living, but we'd have to put her into memory care there. Having seen other memory cares, it's probably the best one but that's a drastic change, and it's not an environment I would want to put my mother in at this point. It's a very nice community, and the assisted living was beautiful. We toured the assisted area where they have a dining area, a solarium and activities. It was very nice. My mom would have to be sent down into the lower level, which they lock up unless family comes. It's a newer community, but the memory care rooms were pretty small, which my mother doesn't like. They also wouldn't allow pets, and that was a big deal for her too, and that was probably the last straw for her. From what I understand, it's normal for any memory care community."

"Brookdale Plymouth would've been our first choice, except for the distance that my dad would have to drive to go see my mom. They were top. They had the most interesting, pretty interior. It looked like a little street in a town and the offices of the staff all looked like little shops along the street. It was really unique. The residents' rooms were just beyond that, but they could walk around. They had a chef that did all their cooking and they sent us home with a little container with some treats in it. They have activities daily, and it was quite a variety. Their prices were comparable, but they were probably number one on our list except for the distance. They had nice companion rooms. It did not look like a hospital at all. You either had a private room that was just like a studio apartment and they were just real small, or if they were a double room, there was definite separation. This side of the room is for this resident and that side of the room is for the other one, and there was a bathroom in between that they shared. For memory care, they definitely would visualize and see their spaces over there. One of them was even L-shaped, so that one resident got one part of the L and the other resident got the other side. There was definite separation and that was nice, and at a discounted rate because it was a room for two people."
