"I was very impressed with the amenities at Ecumen Pathstone. It's a nice new facility, just seemed very well organized, and they seemed to have everything that I would find necessary in an assisted living facility. The staff member, Jody, was very knowledgeable. I was impressed with her as an individual."

"My mom is living in Ecumen Prairie Hill currently. It is an assisted living with memory care unit attached. It is two years old and it is part of a corporation here in Minnesota. The facility is like a beautiful posh hotel when you walk in. It is just gorgeous and very contemporary. We live in St. Peter so it is close to us. We also like their memory care unit because they only have 12 people and there are two or three attendants to care for those 12 people at all times. So that's a lot more than in a nursing home. The unit is not yet regulated by the government, so they can have many people as they want to care for the people and it is wonderful. I would absolutely recommend this to others. The only thing I think they could improve on is the training and coordinating of their staff, which they are still doing. Because they are quite new, they are getting more nurses, RNs on-duty 24 hours, and LPNs in their memory care besides the other aides. "

"Water's Edge were offering to help me get back there. I lived there before. Most of the staff are OK. I'm not sure which room I'm gonna get. I didn't go further. I used to live there, but I don't know what room I'm gonna get. I'm just gonna move there. I just need to get out of this place where I am now. It's OK, I guess. You get your own room, your shower, bathroom, and TV. They have activity people, they play bingo, card games, board games, they do activities, and cards crafts. They've got three floors, got an elevator, and it's nice. I would try to find something else first. It's an OK location. It's got a pond in the back, which is nice. It's really not close to any stores or anything."

"The food at Keystone Communities was fine. It felt more institutional for my mother. The facility is larger. The room was smaller, and their price is a little more expensive than the other facility we visited. Mom felt it was more like a dormitory; not a warm, and homey feeling to her. The staff was very friendly. They offer exercise classes. The dining area is large, but a little more institutional. "

"My mother is going to move into Birchwood Cottages - North Mankato. They have small rooms. They have a separate room for a shower and a bathtub, so they have to pick the day that they're going to use it. It has a stool and the sink in her room, and then it's a small room. Then they have a living room, dining room, and everything kind of conjoined in a sharing area. But they have her room looking over wooded ravines and the view is very nice. I wish she had her own individual shower, but she doesn't, and the rooms are pretty darn small. The residents there are of the same kind of upbringing that my mom had, so I think after she's there for a week, she'll be fine. She's excited, she doesn't have to cook for herself anymore. What I also like about Birchwood is that they include the residents if they want, to fold clothes or help out with little things to make them feel more at home or helpful. I think that's great. The facility is only four years old. It is smaller and has not as many residents. I think they have 32 residents there, so they get the attention they need individually."

"The staff were polite and friendly. Most were very helpful. Food was OK - nothing to write home about. Laundry facilities provided. Coordinated social activities were a little boring but are varied for abilities of residents. Common areas keep very neat and clean. Other residents sometimes rude about volume of TV or radio. Overall - a nice, small facility. "

"My Mom is currently residing here and they are very good. The staff is very friendly and very helpful. The food is great, though my Mom couldn't eat that much. She hasn't been there a week, so all I know is that they had an Easter party. They have a library there and they have someone who comes in to cut hair."

"Ridgeway on German is very nice and excellent. The staff member who helped me was very good and excellent. They usually have entertainment and stuff to do in the afternoon for the residents. As you walk in, the place is very airy and you don't feel closed-in. It has a grand staircase, so it's kind of a cool entrance. The food is very good."

"My father-in-law is in Oak Terrace. As my father and mother-in-law both live in Gaylord, my mother-in-law can visit him daily. It is a nice place and they have a nice view in their common room. Their rooms are clean and didn't smell like a nursing home. They activities like bingo games. They have rooms that are set apart where you can have family get together. They also use them for their church services. Yesterday, the families get together and we celebrate Christmas there. "
