Regent at Burnsville

Mildred

I chose Regent at Burnsville because it seemed friendly. They have beautiful walking paths for me and my dog and it felt comfortable. After looking at six different apartments, I felt that this was the best fit for me. It was a great experience. I enjoyed it. They're very knowledgeable people. The apartment layouts are good and they have whatever you're looking for in the size and whatever. If you have a particular thing in mind, they probably have it for you. They have a library, and if you want a certain author, you can ask for them to bring you books. They have a Red Hat group, which I belong to previously. They play cards which I will enjoy. They have an organ there that I can play and they have lovely seating rooms. You can do whatever you want. The staff during the tour was great. It's what I'm looking for. The layout was easy and things are easy to find. I will not be taking the meals because I cook and I'm independent, but they are available if I would want them. If I don't feel like cooking, I can go down, then they'll charge me. I don't have to take the meal plan to do that. I can just go on a day-to-day basis.

Regent at Burnsville was beautiful. They had just repainted the entry and they have been rehabbing all the rooms. It was a lovely facility; I like it. It is connected to the walking path around Earley Lake, which is a big accent for the facility and for the seniors to be able to get outside. They can have a safe one-and-a-half-mile walk around. It's just perfect. It's right there. You can get out from their facility through that walking trail, so I like that. There's a little pond and a little park, so it's very attractive. The people who work there are wonderful and very helpful and willing to bend over backward to help us and make sure that it would be a good fit. It's beautiful and clean. It looked like the people that live there were happy. Somebody even commented, 'You'll love this place. Take it from me.' The food looked really good. The dining room was fine and looked normal. It's a big room with nice chairs and tables. It is very flexible and clean. And then they have places for everything you want to do like crafts, the library, and the salon. The staff who assisted me was very nice and helpful.

We chose Regent at Burnsville for my parents because of the proximity of where it was located, the availability of a first-floor one-bedroom unit, and the staff that we worked with was extremely courteous and friendly. Their response time could be quicker though, but everybody's understaffed, so it's an understanding of why there's a delay in service. We've only had one person that was not friendly, but we haven't had her back since we let the staff know about our issues. The food is OK. It's not restaurant quality, but it's good portions and good food. They do bingo, bunco, and daily gatherings for women and men. I think the facility is very well maintained. They have a very nice exercise room, a barbershop, and a hair salon right on site. Everything is very clean and kept up well.

The person that we've been working with from Regent at Burnsville was very helpful, very knowledgeable, and very flexible on times and visitation. We've done multiple visits and they were very accommodating to us. It's our number one choice. The dining room was very small and was restaurant-like, but they had separate dining rooms so that you could dine privately with your family members or host a birthday party with them. They had comparable amenities and activities. There's the game room, exercise room, card room, movie theater, library, and religious services. They have regular doctor visits, regular podiatry visits, and beauty care services that come in. That's a very convenient function for somebody that doesn't travel well. It is slightly expensive, but the grounds are fabulous because there's a walking path literally around the lake and a fountain in their private courtyard area. The rooms all had outdoor balconies, and half of the rooms that we looked at had outdoor screened-in porches facing the lake view or the fountain view. It is an older facility, but they're in the process of redecorating the entire building. It's our number one choice. The only problem is they don't have any openings.

Augustana Regent at Burnsville was the second highest as far as the cost went. The facility was pretty new. It has got some little shops in it like a barber shop, a beauty shop, a coffee shop, and a chapel. They also have computer rooms, and they have the emergency call pendants that are provided.

The food at Augustana Regent at Burnsville is good. The place is very nice, and we think it was a good fit for my mom. There are things for the handicapped. The bathroom is huge, and you could have a wheelchair in it. It is a very open bathroom. The staff is flexible depending on what your needs are. There are social things to do, music programs, and exercise programs throughout the day. You can see a lot of residents out and doing things. There's a really good force of nature there. As soon as we walked into it, we just knew that this was the place for her.
