Suite Living of Inver Grove Heights

Mom moved to Suite Living of Inver Grove Heights and what appealed to us was the size of the place and the program they offer. It develops to be a little community among the residents. There's the ease of getting around and it is beautiful. Everything is on the ground level. Mom can get exercise by walking around inside because it's designed in a circular pattern and it's a gated area, and that's important to her. Mom was touched by the fact that they addressed her immediately by her first name and that they all knew her upon her arrival. So, that endeared them to her. They're also very loving and very attentive. The first time I visited her, I found her with 6 other residents playing a card and dice game with the activities director. She's had her nails done as well. There were two wings, one for memory care (where she is now) and one for assisted living. They interact with each other and I can find her on either side. It was a little expensive, but I am pleased with everything. They made the transition very smooth for her (much smoother than I anticipated).

We like Suite Living of Inver Grove Heights because of its location. It's close to family, and it's small, which is what my friend wants. So, the staff ratio is really good. It's a new facility and laid out very well. During COVID, they built a little building outside that's got heated and air conditioning and you can go out there with your family. She likes to be outside a lot, so that would be perfect. The dining area was set up very nicely. You can get wheelchairs underneath the tables and they were well-apart from each other. It's very, very easy to get around. They have a calendar of events that looks quite robust. They have religious services, a computer room, and WIFI. It just seemed like it was going to be a good fit for her.
