I loved the assisted living here. The person who did the tour was great. She was very helpful and stayed in contact with me. So, the communication was really good. I just didn't think they had much at all for amenities. They had a salon, but I didn't recall a gym. The facility was clean. There are restaurants nearby and Mercy Hospital was there.

We toured here. We visited their assisted living, which is combined with their independent living, but they have a separate memory care unit. Our impression of the community was excellent. The person who gave us the tour was very good. The one thing that struck us immediately when we walked into the building was the brightness of it. The lighting was outstanding. The halls were wide. Everything was clean. The staff and even the tenants were very, very friendly. The rooms were nice. The layout was okay. The one thing that is not okay and the one thing that could very well be a dealbreaker is the fact that they have air conditioning units on the walls in each apartment. They're noisy, and they don't cover the entire apartment. The baseboard heating will be fine during the winter, but we were there on a very hot day and recognized that one of two things would happen, the air conditioning would be off and it would be warm, or it would be on and it would be noisy. We also looked at the menu. Everything looked to be shipshape to us. We were very impressed by the cleanliness, the brightness, and the width of the hallways is also very impressive.

When you first walk into it, there's a big room there, that kind of feels like a living room, where people can hang out. The location was good. The views from the windows of the rooms were good. The woman that gave me the tour was very nice, knowledgeable, and has followed up with me. Their assisted living apartments were updated, looked nice, and had enough space. It's worth checking out.

I have visited here. It was very clean. Everything looked freshly painted and clean, although they said they were going to do some upgrading. Carey took us on a tour. She showed us a couple of different styles of apartments. She was very thorough in explaining everything. She was very friendly. They said they have activities. They usually have bingo games going, and some of the residents get together and play cards. They showed us the activity room where they do all their activities. We decided on a one-bedroom, and it's very spacious for an apartment. It has a large and beautiful kitchen, and there's easy access to the bathroom.

My parents are here. They moved together to assisted living with the ability for my dad to use memory care activities and services during the day. Our experience has been very good. I like the size, the location, and their flexibility with my parents' situation and individual needs. They were able to secure a room on the first floor, and that is the same floor as the cafeteria, community room, the parlor, activities, and memory care. It puts my mom in close proximity to where my dad will be doing activities. They are in a three-story building, and most of the group services are on the first floor. They also have covered parking, and in Minnesota, that's a big deal. My mom still has her car, and we were able to secure a parking space in the basement.
