The Goodman Group

My wife needs assisted living help. i am independent. we have been at Regal Palms 4 weeks. difficult to move from a home and complete independence to this type of living. Note: this is no outdoor pool.

We really like it so far. The people have been very friendly, and the staff has been very helpful. The other residents have been helpful as well. We have a new chef and the food is just marvelous now. There are plenty of things going on. When we first came to look, we liked that it's bright and cheery and that there was lots of activity going on. The food is also another reason we chose them, it had gone downhill since we put in our deposit, but now they are working on it, and it's fantastic. We have a new director that seems to really pay attention to what people say.

When you walk into the building, it is nothing like any other place we had been for my Mom. It was clean, everyone we ran into was very friendly and outgoing, both workers and people living there. It really had a classy home feel. While we looked around, we met a lady in her upper 80s who had lived there over 10 years! Very impressive. We were told the Executive Director had been there since before the building opened in 2000, the Chef has been there 14 years and other staff had been there for 14 years. I feel that is important because my Mom will get the know the same people who will take care of her. They were re-coating the pool and hot tub but we did talk to one man who swims everyday. They have Licensed Nurses, not just aids, who take care of the people who live there. Both my wife and I thought that was important for my Mom...that a person with medical knowlege is better than just an aid or caregiver. I am brining my Mom back to see it, and have lunch next week.

a bit expensive...not sure mom will be able to afford this, but lovely property - excellent and helpful staff. No washer/dryer in unit, but nice closet space...small kitchen

My parents have only been residents for a week, but so far, all preliminary dealings (sales, leasing, nurse evaluation, etc.) have been so positive. Personnel have gone out of their way to be pleasant and accommodating....above and beyond what they needed to.

They keep everything up really nice there. It’s a great place. The food is very good and that the staff is totally excellent. They help you with anything you need and they have the doctors that come right to the place – which is a big plus. They will also take the residents anywhere within ten miles too – so like if you need to get prescriptions or anything.

They were really nice and very helpful. It was kind of big, like a country club or resort. There were lots of things to do, but it was over the top for him. It was really nice too. They were a really good price. The staff were all extremely helpful and knowledgeable. It just wasn't a good personality match.

Liked the setting - lots of grass and trees. Felt more like what my mom was used to and less of an institution. Just looked up the state survey site and there's no 'enforceable actions', which isn't true for other sites.

Big rooms, some with screened in porch. Facility is well decorated and bright. Staff is very friendly. Some nights there's live music after supper. Dad's 1st week went extremely well.

We were very impressed with Amethyst Gardens. There was a great vibe of friendliness and caring. Beautiful outdoor spaces and spacious indoor feel also. Very open and airy.

More enhanced assisted living Most of the patients have Parkinson’s or have had strokes. Tehre is also a secure ward. The activities are aimed at their population and they are good. My loved one likes the food and is very happy.

It’s independent living more than assisted living. The appearance is great and definately a five. As for the apartments, there is weekly cleaning service and that’s probably a four. The food is good one day and not so much another day. They have a new chef and he’s trying. The activities are totally a five. There are lots of them and they do a good job.

It’s both independent and assisted living. My loved one and I go there for church services on Sunday morning. It’s very clean and very nice. I would assume it’s as good as the activities in Royal and Cypress

I only toured this community. It was an overall five from what we could see when we toured. It was very nice. The reason we didn’t select this community for our loved one was because of the cost.

It’s a five! It’s a great place to go. They offer lots of activities. It’s a great community. Everyone seems to be happy and very friendly. We’ve had a chance to try the food a couple of times and it was excellent. It’s working out great for us!

Beautiful, expensive, happy residents, EW after two years of private pay.

The Commons is a very beautiful facility and is well maintained. Dinner served personally on white table linen and the servers are very willing to go above and beyond to fulfill residence requests. They offer many daily activities such as games, exercise, ice cream social, happy hour, music programs, etc. We liked that they offer a full range of services to be able to adjust to the growing needs of the resident. The cost seems to be line with other facilities, but is expensive when coming from living on your own.

I truly have nothing but good things to say about Amethyst Arbors. They were great! The staff were all wonderful! They were in constant contact with me, and called me everyday to let me know how my loved one was doing! Great experience!

The amethyst is a wonderful facility the grounds are clean and inviting my family member is very satisfied moving there amazing considering how big a change it is going to an assisted living setting

A Place for Mom took a lot of pressure off of our family. We were trying to do the research on our own while dealing with a sick parent at the same time. They set up appointments with 3 Senior Living Facilities with openings in our area. All meeting our needs, but, with different strengths & price points. We Chose the Commons on Marice in Eagan. We probably would have chosen it anyway, because, my niece works there & told up how wonderful it is, but, we still need to se others to make the comparison. And it is wonderful!
