The Best Memory Care Communities in Wright County, MN

"We looked this facility. The person that I spoke to there, her name was Christa, was very knowledgeable and answered my questions. I liked that she knew a lot of the residents and interacted with them, and they seemed genuinely happy to see her. I've observed them doing something during their group time, and it looked like the residents were having fun during the group time. The rooms looked pretty nice, there was a nice big window in all of them. They were a little bit smaller than some of the other places, and if you want to use the elder waiver, you'd have to have a roommate. I also saw the showers and that looked fine. They have a couple of TV areas and a dining area."

"Mom stayed at Suite Living of Anoka for two weeks. It was nice and clean. They're a small facility, which I like. I don't like the big ones. These small ones are very nice. Half is memory, half is assisted living. Everybody's mostly at the same level of care. The staff was very friendly. Very nice workers came in and helped her. They had bingo, crafts, exercises, and things like that. They went to a catering service. They changed that right when she got in there, and they don't serve anybody until everybody is seated, which is kind of weird because usually people come at different times to eat during the meal periods. A lot of the time, the food was cold, or they didn't get served as they sat down. They had to wait for everybody to come. They have some company that caters in food, and that was not good."

"I toured Stoney River Assisted Living & Memory Care. The staff was very friendly, helpful, and gave lots of good information. They didn't make me feel rushed. They were willing to take plenty of time to talk to me and answer my questions. I had a nice tour of the facility. The dining room was nicely setup. The building had a nice combination of bright places with a lot of natural light, but also areas that were a little more cozy feeling. It was a nice area. It had close access to roads, but yet was set in a place where there was a lot of good landscaping or scenery around. It was a pretty setting. You felt like you were away from the roads and things, but they were close by. It was during lunchtime, so they were starting to fill up the dining room. They said I was welcome to bring my mom back at a mealtime if I wanted. They had good laundry facilities. There was certain days of the week they had someone in for a beauty salon. They had games and books. They had an exercise room, a little theater room, and a nice little community room."

"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."

"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."

"We toured Suite Living of Brooklyn Park. When you walk in the door, it's very inviting, very hospitable. You felt comfortable. It was pretty. The girl who took us on the tour was very knowledgeable and forthcoming. We were happy with the facility. It was a smaller facility, so I think my mom would get good care. The rooms are nice for her to be in. If I had to choose a place, it would probably be that place. It's very clean and updated."

"My tour experience at Suite Living of Crystal was great. All of the people that I talked with were extremely informative, very welcoming, very knowledgeable, and helpful. I didn't eat any of the food, but the cafeteria looked very homey and it looked like a nice little restaurant. You would want to sit and eat dinner with your family there. The staff knew the tenants and the tenants knew the staff. It was a small place, they only have around 30 beds. The room I saw was more for one person to live there, it's a studio but it looks nice. I could completely see my mom living there. The bathroom was really nice and really large, and even though the word "studio" kind of freaked me out, when I went to see it I was extremely impressed. It looked like you could make it nice, you have to bring in your own medical-grade bed. And the lady said we can bring a big couch, or we could bring a pullout couch, or bring furniture from home as well for when people come and visit and make it feel like it's your own little space. It didn't have a full kitchen but it had a nice area for a small microwave and a small refrigerator, but just not have a stovetop or an oven, but there was a ton of cabinet space. So you could still feel like you're kind of at home, but not actively cooking. There's a chart on the wall with a list of activities, they had a big table so you can have friends over and eat there. It breaks down to $10,000 a month."

"I toured Ecumen Litchfield, but I felt that some of the common areas weren't quite finished. They had the office-type partitions and I just thought that it didn't give a very nice finished look to the place. But they had some rooms that were finished off that were very nice. The dining area looked nice. They had a chapel area with some beautiful stained glass windows. The apartments were pretty much all the same. They had garages, but they were not attached to the buildings. The gal who gave me the tour knew what she was talking about. She explained things and she answered my questions."

"Mom also really liked it, but it was really massive, and she felt it was too fancy for her. The people were really friendly. There was a lot to do there, which was one thing I really liked about it. Going to the dining room was like going to a restaurant. It was huge. They had a pool for water aerobics. It was absolutely beautiful. The only thing she did not like about it was the buy-in. It was extremely well maintained, and it was so inviting. They had a little café where people can go and get coffee. The staff was very open to questions and were very friendly. "

"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."

"I will move into The Glenn Buffalo in a few days. There are many activities, many people, and lots to do. The room is very clean and very large. I have a bedroom and a sitting room. So I'm excited to be there. When I stepped inside the community, things were going on everywhere. These people right over here we're doing a puzzle. The guys over here were watching a football game. We went back to the snack room and there were a couple of people in there. We went upstairs and they were playing Rubix Cube and a lady was watching TV. It was just busy everywhere."

"I'm moving into CentraCare - Monticello Benedict Village. The chapel has a 24 hour Eucharist, and that's big. Other places have a nondenominational chapel. That was important to me, and then the location is great too. The staff was great. She was accommodating. The cleanliness was very good. There's a washer and dryer, dishwasher, and refrigerator in the apartment."
