"a caring facility "

"I happened to visit Caledonia Care and Rehab Buck, once my co-worker asked me to accompany him as he wanted to see his Mother in law. This was my first visit to any such facility and I had fairly high standards in my mind. Once we entered the facility, we did not find any parking place. It took us some time to park the car at some distance away and then enter the facility. Staff was not present at the reception so we had no one to guide us to her room. We managed to find the room and met the old lady. She was very unhappy about the behavior of the staff and food standard. She wanted to quit this facility as soon as possible. We found the corridors untidy and the building in a miserable condition. Mean while, the waitress had brought her lunch. The quality of food was low and utensils were not clean too. The residents were quite a few in numbers and looked gloomy. I did not find any life or home like environment here. The nursing staff was not present and we found no arrangements to handle the patient. My co-worker promised the lady to find some alternate arrangements for her. I was not impressed with the facility and would not recommend for loved ones. "

"Norseland Nursing Home is a fun but peaceful place for the elderly. The nurses and staff are so friendly and down to earth. I have had several family memebers stay at this facility and they were very pleased by the quick but thorough service. I would recommend it to anyone! "

"My dad was a resident of Vernon Manor. It was good. It was a typical nursing home, but it was not as homey as it could be. The staff was very helpful. The social worker was incredibly helpful in getting my dad what he needed and also with paperwork. Therapy was willing to work with him. The cleanliness was fine, but it's an older building."

"We visited a family friend at Morrow Memorial Home. This is one is a lot larger. It had a kitchen area and she had a lot of room. She even had a big window that looked to the backside part of a park area. It seemed expensive. It looked really expensive, though I'm not sure of the price. She just had everything. The staff is great and very accommodating. It seemed like they were concerned. It's in a good location. The place is really clean. A lot of the staff is very helpful. "

"Lake Winona Manor had different levels of care my mom could go to, but for her, she was doing rehabilitation. So, actually, (it) had more care. However, the room was very dark and depressing. It was like there was no light in the room, like no light coming from the window, and the part that she was at was more hospital like. There were more people checking on her when she needed, but it was something she did not like. Unfortunately, some of the nurse's aides did not work well, like when she needed help wiping after she went to the bathroom, and she had a bandage that they took off when she came from the hospital, it just laid there on the couch for like a week. When I asked the nurse's aide about it, she called, a nurse came, and acted like it they were going to do 10 times extra work, and she was just like, "Ah, just throw it away." Yeah, just throw it away, but why did it had to sit right there for a whole week, and I pointed it out. However, my mom liked a lot of the staff and a lot of the people that she met there. She did not get to do a whole lot of the fun activities because she always had to be in the rehab like physical therapy and other therapies. Whenever they seemed to have something at the same time, she had to do things. I knew on the weekend they had some person came in and play musical instruments. However, she got really strong, because before, I barely could get her in my car, which was more like an SUV, and then all of a sudden she could really get herself in there with no problem. "

"Tweeten Lutheran Health Care is clean, it's safe and it's convenient so that's why we chose it. It's closer to home. For us, it's only about 5 minutes. Mother is in a very spacious, bright room. The care is very good. A few months ago, we were more looking for an assisted living but since that time, she has become more in need of a 24-hour nursing home facility. We've eaten there many times. The food is great. They have arts and crafts and bingo, they have lots of individuals come in playing live music. If they're in need of a nursing home facility, we would recommend it. "

"My grandmother just got into a nursing home right here in town where she lives. It's the Good Shepherd Lutheran Services in Rushford. They definitely are personal with the residents. They don't just treat the disease or whatever's wrong with them, they treat their personal interests as well. The staff seems very knowledgeable about what they're doing and they seem really dedicated to the residents. The facility is pretty nice. It would be someplace I would want to go when I get older. It's a good location. It's kind of on top of a hill with really pretty views outside the windows. My grandmother doesn't participate in the activities, but they definitely have a very good activities director. They do bingo and have prizes too. They do movie nights too, so the activities are very good."

"Saint Anne Extended Healthcare is top of the heap. It's a Catholic facility and they've treated me very, very nicely. They feed people very well. They can bring your dinner tray up to your room or you can go to the dining room. The scenes from the windows are beautiful. It's not a new building, but it's well-maintained. They have a complete gymnasium on the lower level, in the basement, with a lot of equipment that helps you keep your muscles in good shape. We have every kind of activity from bingo to making sandcastles on the patio, to bringing in pets, to TVs in all the rooms. The aides are very happy working here, too, and I have been very satisfied with them."

"I did a tour of Callista Court. I thought it was a nice sized place and they had 70-some residents. It was big enough that they had quite a few different amenities and different things for the residents to do, but it wasn't super huge. I like the way that their dining room was set up, kind of restaurant style where the folks living there had three choices of meals, with different entrees at each meal. The facility seems pretty well-maintained. It was clean and didn't look run down or anything. The staff all seemed very helpful, cheerful, and had a good attitude. We did go through the dining room after, between lunch and dinner, but visitors aren't allowed in the dining room because of COVID restrictions right now. They had a very nice library and a fitness area where the residents could use a treadmill and elliptical machines or something. They had a game and crafts room, and a place where people go to watch movies. That is a pretty nice place. It was a little more expensive than the other one we looked at."
