Thorne Crest Senior Living Community, a CCRC in Albert Lea, MN
4.9

Our experience with Thorne Crest was very short. We set up my parents in independent living and shortly after we moved them in one parent started showing major signs of needing to be put in a memory care unit. Thorne Crest has a small memory care unit with a big waiting list. We needed to look for another open location in a memory care unit.

I wish we had moved my mom here years earlier. I see photos of her and she is dressed up like her old self and her hair is combed nicely. They have good activities, even if she is not actually participating she is sitting at the table interacting with the other residents. They have a Facebook page for families to be able to see their loved ones. The staff is friendly and pro active and seem to enjoy their jobs.

It has been a good experience at Traditions. The staff treats my Mom wonderfully. At first we had some communication hiccups, but I think we have all those straightened out.
