Recent reviews of Assisted Living in Waseca County, MN
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.

New Perspective Prior Lake
4.7

We chose New Perspective Prior Lake over others that we looked at because the facility was close by, she could be independent in her own apartment and could add services when needed. It was clean, food is good and staff is friendly. All of the staff have been very helpful. We haven't tried many activities yet and she does not really require much care either.

Birchwood Cottages - Owatonna

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.
