Nursing Home Communities in Hastings, MN

"My wife is getting all the care she needs at Southview Acres Health Care Center. I am pretty happy with them so far. I like the place. The staff is trying the best they can, especially with the shortage of staff due to COVID problems everybody has. They have a menu every day that you kind of check off what you want and leave off what you don't want. They have a good cleaning staff. They keep her room very clean."

"Having to find a nursing home for a loved one is never an easy decision or a decision that is easily accepted by the person needing the extra care that they need on a daily basis to not only survive but thrive as they get older in life. Add in a global pandemic and the choices and decisisions can be daunting at best and overwhelming at worst. My grandma and my uncle were past residents at the Inver Grove Heights Good Samaritan Society so I was already familiar with the layout and the rooms and the facility when it came time to find that next living situation for my mother last March. To me choosing a place with employees that truly care and enjoys not only what they do but who they take care of was top of my list and IGH-GS does exactly that. They truly treat their residents like family. I have witnessed my mother THRIVE under their care as well as make a whole slew of new friends!! Neither of those would have happened if she had been where she was previously! She is even to the point where she (sometimes grudgingly) admits that she is glad she made the move and loves having people to interact with who aren't her family!"

"My mother is in Trinity Care Center. Everything has been very good, from the food, to the care, and to the facilities. It's very clean and they keep things clean. The staff is friendly, and they do a follow through if you have any suggestions. They make my mother feel very much at home. They've got bingo, they had a volunteer night yesterday and they went out to eat one evening. Her husband gets her out and they encourage her. We're really happy. It came very much recommended by people we know from Farmington. Compared to other healthcare facilities, their food is far above anything else that I've seen. They keep the place very well staffed and everybody has been friendly. I've seen them interact with her. This place is spotless."

"Trinity Care Center is beautiful. All the rooms are around the center area where the dining area is along with all these cobblestones and waterfall. It's just high-voltage and really pretty. The staff is very caring and very personable too. I've only seen the menu and it seems good and healthy, but my mom said she likes the food. She likes soup a lot and they all accommodate her with that. Her room is rather large. It's got good closet space and she's got plenty of stuff in there. It's got the senior living, assisted living, and the nursing home all in one, so you can just move back and forth depending on your needs. They have a hair salon, physical therapy, and she goes to bingo all the time. They make her feel like she's at home. Everything can use an improvement, but I think they've done a pretty good job."

"The Lutheran Home was good. I liked their staff and their facility. She seemed to be comfortable there. She had a beautiful, single room which was very cheery and homey. She knew people that were there. "

"We are doing fine at Walker Methodist, Westwood Ridge. It has both options, memory care and a regular living space here for me. My husband is in memory care and I'm not. My husband wasn't at the memory care to begin with. First he lived with me, and then he got progressively worse, and so it was decided that he needed to go to memory care. What I like best is that I can just walk over to visit him during the day or whenever. It's close by. The staff are very caring people. The food looks good. They have activities. They do bus trips. The place is very nice. They have a gym and a beauty salon. They play bingo and other games. They have worship service. They have a bus here and they go for a ride. They went and looked at the Christmas decorations and that kind of stuff. With regards to the location, CVS is just down the street."

"Kinnic Long Term Care provides more care than what my uncle needed at this point. It's a nursing home, but it seemed very neat. There's not much privacy because you have to share a room, and it's not an apartment. It's just a TV and beds and everything else is shared. The person during the tour was quite friendly."

"My father is currently in this nursing home. He says that it is good, considering the circumstances and that he didn't want to be placed in it. He says that the staff is clean and attentive, and that he doesn't have to worry about his safety or money being taken from him. He knows that this is a problem at some other nursing homes. He keeps busy by watching tv, and the staff schedule weekly activities for the residents to partake in. For example, there is a weekly sewing circle, and sometimes there is bingo or dances led by local students. There is also a weekly chapel service that a resident leads, and he particularly enjoys this since he is devoutly catholic. The food is decent, but he really like when I bring him food from home. He wishes that visitation hours were longer and that he didn't have to wait so long to get his medication. "

"I found Apple Valley Village to be a wonderful facility. My husband really likes the rehab section where he is. The people are wonderfully kind and helpful. They are always there for him. They have very conscientious people. They took time to talk to my husband, which made him feel really good, and they have plenty of opportunities to use the exercise equipment. There are activities for all the residents and sing-alongs. Plus their food is excellent. My husband has a nice and large room. It is private. It has a chest of drawers and an armoire. They allowed him to bring his scooter in. They have a wonderful exercise room and a nice meeting room as well. The only thing is we had to go buy him a small refrigerator. They have a community refrigerator, but he wanted his own."

"The Residence at Cerenity Marian is a good and very nice place. It's very Catholic orientated and it's fully staffed. They are very conscientious and very, very friendly in trying to help you out as much as they can. I have a very nice one-bedroom apartment with a kitchen, a nice courtyard view, and a bathroom with a walk-in shower. They provide excellent meals. With my rent, I am given one meal of my choice per day, then it's up to me how I make my two other meals. We have music, cards, get-togethers, religious activities, and quite a bit of activities."

"I moved my grandfather in CCH of Hudson WI in September of 2024 into a long-term care room. Since moving he has thrived greatly. Hs is involved in group activities; he has gained weight that was needed and adores the staff and food. The staff are amazing, they make you feel very at home. I feel blessed I can go home and sleep at night knowing he is being taken care of."

"Little Sisters Of The Poor is located in Saint Paul, Minnesota. This facility offers Assisted Living Services. For the price (which is average for similar facilities in the area), you won't find a nicer home for your senior family member. Little Sisters of the poor is one of the cleanest facilities that I visited, and the staff really goes above and beyond to make sure that the residents are well cared for. Many of the staff even know the family members on a first name basis. Residents I visited there said there was a waiting list, so if you are interested it's best to give them a call as soon as possible. United Hospital is in close proximity to this facility, which a very good hospital. Some of the residents I visited were there for short term care, because they were recovering from an illness, others needed long term housing. Residents said they loved the apartment style living because they felt that they had the privacy of their own home, while feeling safe and getting help for medication reminders, meals, laundry and housekeeping. Residents said they loved the convenience of the many onsite services such as; a convenience store, bank, and barber/beauty shop."

"My mother-in-law lives in Shaller Family Sholom East Campus. We chose that because it is actually in the neighborhood that she's used to and likes. Her room is nice. She has two rooms with a bath, and they do the laundry and the cleaning, and they observe her taking her pills and stuff like that. They're very friendly, very nice, and polite. She says the food is good, and there's plenty of it. They put out a monthly schedule of activities and she seems pleased. She's trying to make friends. They have a cafeteria and a parrot that entertains everybody. They also have a pool. It's just very expensive."

"This facility has workers who have become FAMILY to us! Not all that glitters IS gold and remember that when you are looking for a Nursing Facility for your loved one. The employees, nurses, staff and PCA's are like our family...as our other residents and their families! "
