Benedictine

I was happy to be there. It was wonderful. Everyone was wonderful. The rehab therapists were very accommodating. The nurses were very attentive. Everything was nice and clean. I knew exactly what was happening.

The people were so kind to my loved one. Because of her situation we had conferences every week to keep us informed. They were very kind and professional. The rehab therapists kept us informed of her progress. They gave us ideas with what would help her. The therapy was excellent. I liked the nurse on the weekends. The woman who wheeled around a cart who was delightful. She was there in the mornings Saturday and Sunday. I think she moved laundry. She was delightful. She gave me a hug and asked how I am doing. I think the facility was fairly clean. There was nothing laying around. The meals are not the best and not really good. The cups were so heavy for elderly people.

Staff compassionate and caring! They take very good care of my father, monitoring meds and weights. This is a wonderful facility with many activities. Staff very good!

This really was an amazing place. The staff are incredible to my mom. The manager [name removed] is always willing to talk if we need it. Mom loves to bake and has made so many friends. We're so glad she finally agreed to move here. She loves it.

I am very happy with the care that is given to my mom in this community. The staff are always helpful and caring to my mom's needs. We like knowing that the community is clean and she is happy with the menu of the meals. They have my mom active with the list of activities. We would recommend the care at this community for other families.

I like living in this nice community. The staff is outstanding and I like that they call and check on me each day. The community is very clean I like that they have good meals that I am receiving I like the activities and that they take you shopping once a week. I keep active with other residents I would recommend this community due to it helps me keep active. I would community for the good care and nice environment.

I like this community for my father's care. We like the staff who keep up informed on his progress. He is settling in and does not participate in the nice variety of activities. We like the meals and the variety. We would highly recommend this community for the great care and value for other families.

I like this place, but only 1 bathroom apartments available.

It was a comprehensive tour and meeting at a beautiful, immaculate facility. Meeting my husband's medication administration needs and other needs may be too much for assisted living. Also, the cost of so many hours of needs purchased separately was high for us. The information was complete and the people were very friendly. This place is a real gem in Anoka.

older building, but very nice and well kept. could meet all needs, would be about 3000 per month, service structure very flexible. people seemed very happy here. staff very friendly

This is a great community. We liked the care, but they need to keep up more on the cleaning of the hallways. They could use a little improvement in cleaning. They have gotten better when having staff available. The staff seems to be very nice and caring. The food appears to be good, but some small improvements They have activities, but they could use some improvements. There are able to walk the hallways. I recommend this community for a good value for care.

My husband recently spent 1 month in rehab at Nazareth. The staff was excellent, friendly, and went out of their way to make sure he was included in social activities. Never once did I see anyone who didn't look like they enjoyed being there. My husband raved about the food (to my chagrin) and made wonderful progress with the physical and occupational therapists on staff. I would highly recommend Nazareth to my family and friends. The facilities were clean, bright, and amidst several safe, family-oriented neighborhoods.

I was hoping the transition was going to be easier. We have had a few issues with her medication. The staff are willing to listen to you and I love the place. They keep the community clean and it is a lovely place. They do clean her room once a week. I do like the continuing care they offer. The food is awesome and they offer a good variety.

The staff at River Oaks are very personable and make us feel like we are at home. The food is excellent and they have a variety to choose from. They have a lot of activities, however my mother in law does not yet participate in any. This is a small community and I would recommend it.

When my husband was sick, Sister Mary and Sister Barbara came to visit him. It was a snowy day and we sat and visited. When they got ready to leave, Sister Mary went outside in the snow, lay down in my driveway and made an angel. I took pictures, I still have. I laughed myself silly. Here was sister Mary, the head sister and she's making a snow angel! They are just so fun, they are people, they are happy, they love what they do and they make others feel happy. They were fabulous with me and Ken. I have to give my husband credit, he chose it (VSB) and he wanted me to have this knowing that he wouldn't be here that long. I swear, it's the best thing he ever did for me.

Our Mother moved into Cerenity a little over a month ago and loves it! Though we had a few bumps in the road getting our Mother into her new home, we feel that she is in the perfect place now. She loves her apartment and it has just enough space! She is now eating on a regular basis (breakfast & dinner) and can leave her place to run around with her sisters if she wants. We finally feel like we have some relief, we don't worry as much about her safety and well being because she is getting into more of a consistent routine, which should help her overall well being thanks to the Cerenity Staff and services they offer.

Very inviting and felt like home. Very reasonable rates and we liked what is included. Mom is not a big eater, so the 2 meals/day which is included will be perfect for her. Rooms were big, clean & spacious. We are planning to bring Mom to have lunch there tomorrow, so we can see how she feels about it too. We like that Cerenity has just enough care needed for Mom at this time in her life. As her aging progresses she would be able to move to other areas in the facility. Katie Rideout was very thorough, pleasant & helpful. We enjoyed our tour & will be securing the apartment tomorrow.

I really liked this place, I know my mother would love it too. I just need to get her on board. The apartment was perfect sized.

I moved my husband here because it was 5 minutes away from out home and he was very comfortable there. Nothing is going to be as good as you think you can do if you had them at home but I knew I couldn't care for him at home. I thought the care at Nazareth was much better than where he was before. They seemed to want to help, it was not something they had to do. They had smiles on their faces, they weren't grumpy and when their shifts were over they would come by and say goodbye to him and were so positive. Almost all of the nurses called him by his first name, they were closer to him that way. I think the people here are probably screened a little bit better or they go through sensitivity training; it was so much more compassionate and I don't have any complaints.

We decided on River Oaks because the value for the money was much better than where she was at previously. The locaiton is also very nice and all the staff are super friendly. The staff do seem to really care. They do have a lot of activities offered for the residents although my mom does not always participate. If you get the meals delivered to the rooms it is an extra $5 charge. The facility did just get bought out by another company and they are planning on remodeling in the main lobby area. Overall we are very pleased with the experience and would recommend River Oaks to others looking.
