I was very pleased with this facility. The staff were extremely friendly and always came over to discuss my grandmother's condition and progress with me when I came to visit. She was also very pleased with her care, saying how friendly and respectful the staff was. I was also surprised to hear that the dining options were excellent. I was very satisfied with the variety of options given to patients. My grandmother loves Lorna Doone cookies and staff members would bring them to her as a special treat. This made me feel like the employees really care for her well-being and wanted her to feel better and enjoy her experience at the facility to the best of her ability. My family has had negative experiences in the past with over-medication and lack of care, but this facility far exceeded our expectations. The staff members always made her health a priority and checked on her status before administering unnecessary drugs. Overall an excellent experience and I would definitely recommend this facility.

This facility was very clean and well maintained. The grounds were well kept and seemed inviting. The staff was friendly and competent. Call lights seemed to be answered in a timely manner and residents needs and concerns were address appropriately. Meal time seemed well organized and dietary concerns were addressed for each resident. The staff on duty at the time I was there had all worked there for a reasonable amount of time and seemed invested in their positions. The residents were respected and treated with care. Overall the facility seemed very inviting and clean. I especially liked how the facility had several different areas for different levels of care. They had assisted living apartments all the way to full care units. I would imagine that the different levels of care all on the same campus would help make these transitions easier for the families as well as the residents. The facility had a quaint study for the residents as well as a small cafe setting in the entrance that seemed very nice. I also liked how the facility had a small beauty/barber shop that looked inviting.

My mother lived there for four years and enjoyed her stay. Very proactive when new services were requested.

My Grandmother was living here for a period of time after she got out of the hospital last year. She was in there to rehab and get stronger. My initial impression of the place was not very good. I just did not get a good vibe. After visiting her there daily for several weeks my opinion changed completely. The entire staff was extremely friendly. My Grandmother got rehab daily and was a lot stronger by the time she got out of there. Another bonus was the food they served was delicious! After seeing firsthand the experience she had there, as well as listening to her rave about it after she left, I would highly recommend this place to anyone!

I toured this facility, and was highly impressed at first glance. It is an absolutely beautiful facility, both inside and out. They offer many amenities to the residents... from the general store to the beauty shop, the museum, library, games room, and fitness center, they provide a great selection of activities to take part in. Outside they have an amazing scenic landscape, with paths to walk on. Most importantly though, is the staff. I was impressed by them as well... they all seemed so on top of everything. And they all really seemed to care about each and every resident that was there. Great facility, great amenities and great staff.

The Minnesota Masonic Home of Bloomington is a very nice facility. The apartments are very spacious with a warm homey feeling. There's even a private patio with each unit so that residents can sit outdoors and enjoy the gorgeous landscaping. Residents who I visited there said they were very happy with the way the staff supported them and treated them with respect and dignity. The meals that are served in the dining room look very appetizing and the facility smells good, it is very clean. Seniors who I visited there said they felt very at home with the unique apartments- each one looks different instead of having cookie cutter units. The Home Health Aides were friendly and very accommodating when assisting residents in dressing and bathing. The seniors were happy with the fact that they felt they could be very independent while still getting help when they needed it, such as the medication set up and transportation services to help them go out and do some weekly shopping without having to call relatives.
