Memory Care Communities in Cottage Grove, MN

"We really liked The Alton. It's a small community and it's really simple. The area where you get together is kind of in the middle so I liked that. You don't have to walk from one end to the other just to get to a community area. You can get out and they have a garden center. They have a little lot for you to just enjoy in the summer. It looked like they really care about their area. We didn't really see other staff other than the director and another person. They were really, really nice. They made us feel comfortable. They showed us a lot of Italian food, but they don't have Asian. I didn't see any activity. They just showed us the community room where they have some games and snacks. The day that we went, we didn't see too many people around. They do activities and get together with the residents and they call it a community, so each section of it is a community."

"It was a wonderful place. The staff was very friendly and wonderful. The apartment was just exactly what I would want. I liked that's it on the first floor and had its own door to the outside. Plus, the outside door led right to a beautiful garden with wildlife. I loved it there. There's a library and a place where you can cook and bake. The dining room was also great. You could go down for coffee and they even put out pastries. It's open all night, so if you got up at four in the morning and sit down there, you can. It's very nice."

"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."

"I toured Ecumen Seasons at Maplewood. It has a continuum of care, in other words, if I can manage it in independent living, I can and if I need more help, I can add more services. So, it's not either or. It's more flexible in terms of what services I have to take. Plus, I can stay in the same unit even if I need to add care. I don't have to move to another section of the building if I go from independent to assisted living. It's a beautiful place. There's a huge walking path out in front and they have a walking club. And in the summer I like to walk. But the continuum of care was the biggest for me in my choice. They have an opening now, but I have to get my house cleaned out. So they said that they'll have openings in the fall. They know I'm coming then. The staff are caring and helpful."

"I went to Ecumen Seasons at Apple Valley. The place had a very welcoming atmosphere from the time I walked in and every time I contacted them and went back subsequently. Since my mom lives in Florida, I had to take pictures to bring down to her and show her. They are very accommodating and able to walk through what I want. And the neighborhood just felt like what she wanted to live in. They offer one-bedroom apartments. There are lots of different daily activities. There are things if she needs it, like the meals if she wants it. It just fit for what we were looking for. And we're not paying for things that she currently doesn't need. That was one of my biggest things. I didn't want to pay for meals if my mom wasn't going to use them. And that was the other one I had that was included. It was more expensive and we couldn't opt out of the daily meals, which I'm like well, she's not going to eat. She still cooks for herself."

"We visited Ecumen Centennial House once, and we are going back for a second visit, and hopefully that will work out. Everybody there seemed very, very caring. It was very nice, very clean, and very precise, and it looked like something that would be comfortable for my father-in-law and us. The staff who gave the tour was wonderful. Nancy is her name, and she is amazing. She is very informative, very welcoming, and friendly. The rooms are very, very nice. We love that there's a refrigerator in the room, which is nice. The community areas are quite large and set up very nicely. They seem very, very welcoming."

"Suite Living of Burnsville was absolutely perfect in every way. I would give it a five all the way around. My husband didn't like it because he said it was too lonely, meaning it's very quiet. There aren't a lot of people. I'm going to move in there whenever I need it. It's absolutely wonderful and well taken care of. The facility is very new. They had a lot of activities and many choices. The staff was very friendly, accommodating, and helpful. It would be really easy to have family members visit. They're just amazing. I saw the menu, and I was watching them set things up. They seemed well presented. They had a variety of different types of food."

"I toured Gable Pines. They can't take my wife because she is non-ambulatory. It's a fine place and the staff was very helpful. I didn't look at a room because we didn't get that far when they found out what kind of care my wife would need, but that's okay. The dining area was nice."

"Our tour at Minnehaha Senior Living was very nice. It was very informative. I thought the actual facility was very homey, nice, and clean. They had a lot to offer, which was nice. The staff was very nice. She was exceptional."

"I liked Havenwood of Richfield really well. I just didn't like it being on the other side of the river from me. The rooms were quite spacious, but the kitchens were probably a third of what the apartment was. For a one-bedroom apartment, it is kind of ridiculous to have the kitchen be so huge when they're providing two meals a day. I just felt that they could have had more living space. The living room/dining area was tiny. There was no living space. It's all kitchen. Everything was clean, neat, and well-organized. The staff was very friendly. Their social activities director's dad lived there. I think that's a pretty awesome statement that the staff would want or have their family members living 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."
