The Best Memory Care Communities in Wright County, MN

"Our experience so far, has been excellent. The staff is excellent. My mother has a little apartment that has a little kitchen, living room, and bathroom. It has everything she needs. Their dining area is a nice, big, open room, and they sit 6-feet apart. They got pretty much anything, sewing, drawing, and arts and crafts, whatever, they have it. She said the food is excellent, and they feed her very well. They come and clean once a day."

"Cedar Crest of Silver Lake looked like a nice option, but it still had the feel of a nursing care facility. It was a beautiful location right on the lake. I got a great tour of the place. The son of the founder did a great job of showing me around. He was very, very friendly. He's been there pretty much his whole life because his Mom started it. He seemed to know everybody and everybody knew him. Everyone seemed very friendly and professional. The room was kind of small, and you could bring your own furniture. They had living spaces, living rooms, and dining areas where people could go. Another downside would be that none of the apartments had an independent shower. There was a toilet in the apartment, but everybody had to go through a bathing room, which I didn't like at all for my dad. He would not feel comfortable with that. Heating and cooling were not a problem, but they won't provide a refrigerator or anything like that."

"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."

"I toured. It was new and updated, and it was very nice. We saw the studio room and it was nice and updated, but it was a little bit small. The dining area was nice, spacious, new, and updated. It was more like a restaurant. It had a bar area, and they do happy hours there, and then it had a seating area. We saw bingo going on and some residents were meeting in the lobby with their loved ones. The staff was very friendly. It didn't have as much outdoor space as I would have hoped, but they had it beautifully maintained. It was definitely in a more industrial area."

"I toured Havenwood of Minnetonka and as a 73-year-old, widowed, retired from public service and a veteran, I was very impressed. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and I noticed there are lots of men with a strong veterans group, which really stood out. I love that it's age in place community, where meals are included in the rent, and the underground heated parking and storage are reasonably priced. The building looks brand new, modern, and clean. I would highly recommend Havenwood of Minnetonka to anyone looking for a safe, supportive, and well-run place for themselves or their loved ones."

"The Haven at Peace Villa is just a really unique care facility. My brother is very content there. They take care of him very well. They take care of them like they really are concerned. I just liked that about that place. They have a real personal interest in each one of their clients over there. I've seen a big change in my brother since he has gotten there. He had a stroke to start that whole routine off. He still has to walk a lot of times with a walker and a cane and what-not. I can't say enough about the caregivers. They're very, very personable. They're kind. My brother has a really, really nice apartment. The whole facility is well maintained. They must have cleaning staff that really takes good care of it. We've never seen anything that looks like it hasn't been taken care of. If I ever have to get into a situation, it would be a place where I wouldn't have to fear what type of care I'd get over there because I've seen firsthand what my brother is getting over there. They have card playing, and they have areas where they do crafts. I know from other clients over there that they get into cooking and sewing and you name it, so they try their best to keep the clients upbeat. I've talked to a bunch of nurses and the office staff. They're very, very professional to say the least. From the cooks to the nurses to the maintenance staff, I am very impressed. Whoever trained these people really did a really good job. I also have had lunch with them a couple of times because you can pay to have lunch there with them, and I always thought it was fantastic. I would give the facility the top rating. It's unique. The shrubbery, the grass cutting, everything is done to the max. As far as what they're offering for activities, I would almost have to give them the top rating. They bus them sometimes to different places. They do their best as far as I'm concerned. When you get a group of people in that age bracket, a lot of times there are always some people that aren't happy about this or that, and you don't hear it there. I'm not real up on what other facilities charge, but we're the power of attorney for my brother, and my wife helps with the financial part of it as far as buying the meds and paying for the stay. He'll be going on medical assistance because his retirement funds are dwindling. They're as fair as they can be because they have to maintain the grounds, the utilities, and everything else. I think they're trying to do their best to keep it as affordable as possible."

"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."
