Brookdale Winona was way too tiny with way too small rooms. It was nice and had a lot of activities. The dining area was very nice. You can eat the food there or in your room.

We had a really visit at Brookdale Winona. We liked that it was small, friendly and personable and that it had a view of nature. However, we felt that it was place that wouldn’t be a good fit for my father because it wouldn’t be stimulating enough for him. The whole idea of having just a small room and a public area didn’t feel like a situation that he would be happy with.

My mom lived in Brookdale Winona. I liked the fact they did not have a kitchenette, and they all went to a dining room and ate their meal. She picked out her room, and I thought they were surprised at the one she picked because she picked out one that looked at neighboring homes with bushes, birds and stuff, where she had the option of choosing one where she could see grass and beautiful trees. We set it up like her little corner in her own home. She never liked bingo, but she played bingo there, and she always ended up winning a lot like granola bars and things like that. The services were good. They had like assistant for what they thought that she needed. They kept an eye on her.
I thought they could (do) some updating. Like when she was looking out the window, I thought they could have cleaned the windows. The little thing like the closet door, I could tell that it was a little worn. Most of the floors were carpeted, so it was almost like she had to learn how to walk again. She came from a place where she was basically walking on her own by herself, but when she started out at Brookdale, she had to go back to using the walker, and we were assuming it was because of the carpeting.

When I walked in the door of Sterling House of Winona I felt very warm, comfortable, and safe. It was a very nice place. The rooms were clean, but small. The food was fine. I mean, I am not a picky eater. It was also very comfortable to be in their dining room. It was very clean, but it didn't have that bleached smell to it like they were trying to cover something up, and it just seemed to be a very nice, warm, and welcoming place.

Sterling House of Winona seemed a really nice place. I think it is more set up like a nursing home rather than an assisted living apartment. Their location is really wonderful. It is close to other services like hospitals or shopping malls, but it is also situated along the wooded area so that some of the views in the backyard seem like you're in with nature. The number of staff there is pretty high, and the residents look pretty happy there. They are very friendly. I don’t remember a lot of activities, but I know they have a library, and they do some chair exercise classes regularly.

I have nothing but positive things to say about The Sterling House of Winona - Brookdale Senior Living. To start off it was great to know that my Nana was being helped with the day to day things she need that our family was unable to provide. It also felt great to know she was close enough that the various family members could visit with her a lot through out a week and form a solid opinion of the facility.In my opinion it was great. She had her own apartment, which she loved, that was always clean and full of her own items. In addition to that they had plenty of activities to keep her social, and believe me my nana was a social butterfly. She also loved to look her best and when ever we would stop by, which would be unannounced, she looked fantastic. Finally what I loved most is I really felt that the staff cared for my Nana as if she was their own. That is what really meant the most to my Nana and the rest of my family. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone. Neither my Nana or anyone in my family had anything bad to say. They made growing old graceful for her.

While in the Winona area, we happened upon Sterling House assisted living. We had been visiting some other facilities around the region.
We were glad and impressed that we didn't need an appointment to take a tour of the facility. The staff was welcoming and seemed to really like their jobs.
The outside grounds were nicely kept, with plenty of seating areas. Residents are encouraged to walk around regularly as they desire and supervision is always available.
The indoors were nicely designed with a library area and a large room for other activities, like board games and computers. There were also many other comfortable areas where residents could read, sit with friends or just relax.
The film collection looked interesting "“ and they regularly go to local movie houses "“ sometimes venturing to surrounding areas to see foreign and independent films - some of our aunt's favorites.
They offer an impressive list of activities for everything from local shopping, beauty salon and entertainment trips "“ to special events held at their facility.
The exercise room had yoga mats and machines. They also have scheduled classes for those who are interested. The snack options offered all looked great.
All in all, a very nice home for seniors with kind and caring staff.
