Elmcroft of Minot

My mother was a resident of Elmcroft of Minot, and we had an excellent experience. It was very homey, it's a small community with very caring people, and it's very pretty. The rooms were awesome, and so nice, with big bathrooms, and really nice-sized bedrooms. The staff is very caring, thoughtful, and friendly. My mom loved the food, and she loved the many choices that were offered. We liked the idea that she was seated with many different people so she could make friends.

My father is in Brentmoor (Emeritus at Brentmoor). The staff is fine and friendly. He enjoys the food. They have a variety of activities anywhere to music to programs and entertainments.

My mom liked Emeritus at Brentmoor. The programming was good. They were good about checking on her. We're having trouble to get the insurance to cover her stay though. Make sure that they have all their bases covered when they check in if they are going to have long term insurance covering their stay. There was one bedroom and a small kitchenette. It was a galley type of thing. It was kind of in the hallway from the living room area to the bedroom. They have a nice big bathroom that was handicapped accessible and a small living area. The staff was really nice, and the services were good. They had a nurse on staff which was nice and a nurse assistant 24 hours. It was nice to have that assurance that she had somebody there. She could just press the button, and they would be there if she needed assistance. They have a nice chapel and a pastor that does the services there. My mom went to a couple of music programs that she enjoyed. She had also gotten together with a couple of the other ladies she met there to play cards. She enjoyed that too.

I like that Emeritus was close to where we lived and they have all the services that we thought they would like and so that's why we moved my parents in. They eat everyday so that must be a good sign. They have a variety of church services, Bible studies as well as a lot of music things and there are games. The folks don't do many of the games but they have done the church services and the music. There's a number of things everyday that's available. It's a small place which is fine but they have people come in and do the laundry for them. It's big enough for them. I think they're comfortable there.
