Nursing Home Communities in Willmar, MN

"My wife has had some therapy at Bethesda, so we’re familiar with the people. They’re in the process of rebuilding. The rooms are good -- small but nice. They have an activities person, they have Bible studies, and all kinds of activities. The food tasted good, and my wife always liked it. The staff is knowledgeable. We liked it there. "

"My mom is in Bethesda memory care. It's a well-built and clean place. Her room is clean and comfortable. The staff is good, they're wonderful. The food and the dining area are clean and functional. They have all kinds of different events, games they play, and they go out for walks. The outdoor spaces are good. Everything about the whole place is acceptable."

"My mother-in-law really likes living here. The facility is cleanly. All staff are congenial, compassionate, and inviting. Whenever staff passes a room they greet the resident and ask how they are doing and whether they need anything. "

"Glen Oaks is more in a wooded area. My mom was there. Actually, they had independent apartments, assisted living, and the skilled nursing facility, and she was in all three. I was impressed with their care. They were very, very good. They had adult daycare, transportation, and a beauty shop. They had a big picnic every summer and a Christmas event for all the families and the residents. While my mother was there, they had bingo, and they had people come in for concerts. Of course, they had church, and they had kids from the surrounding school that came in. They had an "animal day" too. "

"We chose Centennial Court for my mother-in-law and my husband's aunt because they wanted to be close to us. It looked like they have plenty of room for parking. At Centennial Court, they have a meal program where you can have three meals. These are more independent apartments, but they do have pull cords and they check on them, but it is not exactly assisted living. They have activities, and they have a van that they take the people out in for rides and stuff. My relatives will have a one-bedroom that they will share. They don't have two-bedroom units. My relatives' room looked fine. In fact, they re-did the whole apartment. They put in new carpet, new flooring, and painted it. They have a new refrigerator. My relatives can do their own laundry. They have a laundry room. They have a hairdresser that comes in, and they can take advantage of that. "

"Mother is in Golden Living Center since July. They seemed to provide good care. The staff is fine and provides what she needs. They have different games, and they have different church services and get togethers. She is getting PT and OT there. She gets three meals a day, she is in a single room, and she shares a bathroom with another resident. "
