Timber Hills

Reviewer#RD0412p

I found Timber Hills. What I like best is that I know several people that live there. It also has an underground garage that's heated so I don't have to worry about my car. And it lets you kind of age in place. If you need assisted living or memory care, it's there. The rooms are very nice and large. They have two bathrooms, and they have laundry in the room. It has this basic setup of kitchen, balcony, living room, and two bedrooms. The staff who assisted me was very nice, very friendly, and very knowledgeable. They have a lot of activities. They have a fitness center where they give classes. They do tours once a week. They have a wood workshop that you can use. They give concerts. I'm actually on their waiting list there.

We toured Timber Hills. The place was immaculate and well kept. They had plenty of space but it was easy to navigate. The services that they offered were pretty comprehensive. The rent seemed fairly reasonable. The staff were very helpful and very forthcoming.

We liked Timber Hills because it was clean and modern looking. They had a washer and dryer in the room. There's a place where we could eat with other people if we wanted or we could eat in our own room. The staff was very friendly and helpful showing us around the different hobbies that they have and places that they go during the month. They put puzzles together, they have some exercise, and they also have inside parking. It was very clean and they had just remodeled, so it was very nice.

My mother moved into Timber Hills last week. It's very friendly and cooperates with my request. Her apartment is bright, brightly decorated, spacious, it's a one- bedroom. Big windows. Comfortable temperature, you control your own temperature. We got a new carpet, new painting when we moved in, so that made it nice. I saw that they have a chapel. So church service is on Sunday. There's one lady who plays piano. I think she just volunteers, I think she lives there, so every once in a while, I hear her playing the piano. The other day, they had somebody from outside, it was a younger guy, maybe junior high. I let him in and I saw that he was supposed to be playing the piano. I see him playing games like bingo and Jeopardy. So I see a lot of things going on, a lot of activities. One day they were taking a bus to some restaurant outside. Upkeep and maintenance were really good. The care that we get and the amenities are worth the price.

My mom lives in Timber Hills. They have different doors. So 6307 is the main entrance, the 6309 entrance is for the independent living side apartment. It's a big place, it's a very large community. They have one whole building full of apartments that are independent and then it all connects. They all have the same amenities, which is nice. And then they have the assisted living side. My mom lives on the side that's called the terrace. Then they have the Commons, which is assisted living. Then they have also, which was nice that I liked, 55 and up. They have townhomes that are part of this community. Right down the street, is a whole development. Part of this whole unit is townhomes, so people can move into a townhome, downsize from their homes, be part of this community and then transition to their needs as their needs change into the apartments as my mom did. My mom moved here. She started in the townhome with my dad. My dad passed away. She transitioned within three months. They had an independent apartment for her because you go to the top of the list, previous residents take precedence. So nice. This is a beautiful community. It's all wooded, overlooks a pond. She overlooks a pond and a wooded area full of deer. It's a great location. Every single person is available just like that. They're right on whether it's maintenance, what starts at the top flows down for the level and the integrity and everything. I mean, it doesn't matter if you're a receptionist, maintenance, a mailman. The level here is just exceptional. Everyone is wonderful. They have a deli and they also have a dining room with good breakfast and cinnamon rolls. It's beautiful, it looks like a big log home. They have amazing activities, and the value is really good, the apartments are large. They all have their own laundry room and big kitchen. My mom has a 2-bedroom, 2-bath, with her own laundry room and big kitchen.

I went to Presbyterian Homes- Timber Hills, and I saw their memory care and the general campus. Megan was fabulous and outstanding. They were great, and I think the facilities are a little bit better than adequate. The main area is a little dark. It's done in heavy, dark wood because we're in Minnesota, and they are kind of going for that "northern cabin" look. I only saw one room in memory care, and it was big for my father. It was a two-bedroom with two baths. The problem we had with it was it faced the west, so it had the west sun shining in, and they just had flimsy blinds. We all know how that is during the summertime -- it gets hot. As far as the building's cleanliness, it looked clean. Did they have the hand-washing-and-sanitizing area that I saw at other facilities? They did, but it was not as stringent. There were also outside areas where you could take somebody out for a walk, but he didn't have access to a garden area. It was just a door in and out to the hallways.
