Independent Living in Minneapolis, Minnesota

Sister of resident

Great nursing staff. Friendly and competent. The rooms are badly in need of paint. Walls dirty and scratched, broken blinds etc. food just ok nothing great. The pictures shown of the place don’t look anything like they really are. I would rate this facility as a C-.

A bigger facility with spacious accommodations and wide-open windows, however, staff members had trouble understanding English. The staff members were not aware of the program and what they offered. The building had multiple floor levels. There is an onsite activity director who plans activities for residents. Each resident had their own privacy and room accommodations.

Fun facility with tons of things to do, including bowling, movie outings, and theatres. Residential parking available with a well furnished lobby and receptionist area. Facility has a full service coffee shop. Great food in the dining facility. Smaller rooms in the private settings. Interactive and compassionate staff members who listened to the residents.

Local Professional

Facility fails to give residents adequate care, because the residents appeared to be stationary and in one position throughout my visit, receiving very little interaction from staff members. Facility offers residents a small gift shop by the lobby, however, that appeared to be the only peak of the entire program. Staff members did not distribute attention well between residents. Some residents received more attention than others. Many activities were cancelled throughout the day showing disorganization and lack of foresight amongst staff members.

Offering a beautiful view of Lake Calhoun from outside its windows, facility offers a beautiful sanctuary to residents with sensitive needs. The needs of each resident are put before each staff member's, and staff members listening attentively and compassionately to each resident's concerns. Each floor level offers options to residents with specific or similar needs. For instance, level one offers residents in the assisted living unit their own floor and the higher levels offer options to individuals with more independence or autonomy. Activities offered include seminars, holiday parties, and visits to local attractions including the zoo or the park near the building. Facility is on the higher end in terms of cost.
