The Best Memory Care Communities in Wright County, MN

"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."

"Cedar Crest of Silver Lake was a very nice location. You had the lake to look at, but it was very small, and it's not for someone who can take care of themselves 90% of the time. They take care of everything like they take care of your pills. It was a very nice tour. The staff who gave the tour was very informative, knew all the information, and answered all our questions. They have a salon. They have plenty of outdoor space to walk or to sit by the lake. They would do your laundry. They take care of everything, and if you need that kind of assistance, that's a perfect place to go."

"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."

"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 mother has moved into Personal Care Senior Living of Andover. I like that it was smaller. I think there are 30 residents there. It was clean and brand new. The sales pitch on all the other places we saw was about aesthetics, but we felt like my mom was going to be cared for here. It's hourly safety checks at night. The staff ratio is 1 to 5. It's a good safe environment for her as well. They have all kinds of activities, bingo, crafts, and little movies. I've seen them putting together puzzles and there were blocks. That wasn't a selling point for me, but I see the activities going on around me. They're all sitting around tables with helpers. We've only been there a week, but we are very pleased with it, with the nursing staff, the administrator, and how she handled everything. Everything's going well. Right now, we're very happy. Everything's kept up and clean and her room is clean, and the common areas are clean. It's all good."

"My mother lived in the memory care unit at Sunrise of Minnetonka from 2016 until she passed away in 2023. The staff gave her absolutely wonderful care that entire time. My mother had dementia, but also another diagnosis that made placement difficult. In addition, she was very active and alert, so she needed beautifully decorated surroundings, lots of interesting daily activities to choose from, great tasting food, and friendship. The staff at Sunrise excelled at all of the above, for almost seven years straight, including through the difficult years of the pandemic, adjusting mom's care as her needs changed. I HIGHLY recommend Sunrise!"

"My parents moved into Haven Wood in June 2023. Sadly, my mom passed away that fall, and I was initially concerned about how my dad would manage living on his own. Fortunately, he truly loves it at Haven Wood. The facility and rooms are top-notch, and my dad can’t say enough good things about the food — both the quality and variety are excellent. He especially appreciates the willingness of the kitchen staff to accommodate "off-menu" requests, which makes meals feel more personal and enjoyable. While there has been quite a bit of staff turnover, everyone has been exceptionally kind and attentive to my dad, and I’m deeply grateful for the care he’s received."

"I had an in-person tour of the Haven at Peace Village. I sort of like the place because it's on the way home. I could go by easily, so I could stop more often. It was a really nice place. I was impressed with the rooms, and I would have put my parents there. The staff was very nice and well informed, told me a lot about their food services, and their choices for meals. The dining room looked very nice. It was well set up. It looked like it had everything you needed. They had one or two choices for meals."

"My father has moved into Ecumen Litchfield and it's been a good match for him. They've got great staff working there, and are very attentive, and communicate well with us. He likes it. He likes the activities and he seems to be enjoying it, so it's been great. They have bingo, church services, the men's group, and the exercise group. The space in his apartment is very adequate for him. He's got a one-bedroom apartment, so that's been nice. I know they've got another agency that comes in and does physical therapy with them."

"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."

"My husband moved into The Glenn Buffalo - The Cottages. We're very happy with the place. Everything's going fine. We like the employees and the extent of my husband's care. He is well taken care of. The staff members are very pleasant, seem to take their work seriously and give good care. They have good meals, a pleasant environment, and activities."
