Our Experience

The staff at Okalee of Medina is good, but we are not happy with all of the hidden costs that were not explained at the beginning and they say how they have a shuttle that goes out every week, which is true, but it is a joke. It only holds a few people and is nearly impossible to get on.... Read more

Found the right spot

I am delighted that we found Okalee as a place for my mom. It is large enough to have the amenities she wanted but small enough to easily navigate. To a person the staff has been warm and helpful, and the space is beautiful. I’m grateful we found a safe, welcoming space for my mom and look forward to her making new friends and engaging in new activities.

Mom loves Okalee, but wishes they would improve frequency of transportation options

The activities at Okakee are great. Their support for transportation is weak, and my mom feels it was not what she signed up for. They no longer have a shuttle. No plans to get one. Only 2 round trip rides provided a month. Without the shuttle, the residents need more options. Their "cost" for a resident to use their car service outside of the monthly allotment is highway robbery. It is a real opportunity for them. I know they are filling up, but they are falling very short on this area. It is a great place and my mom is very happy there--but that is the one issue people need to know (and I wish they would stop ignoring it). [name removed] is awesome and their activities coordinator is fantastic.

In my opinion there are management concerns by putting business considerations above the residents (not mentioning the frequent train horns during the night), handling safety issues, hiring and letting go and of employees, making rules after the fact, and I question the treatment of one (now dead) resident in the assisted living program.

be weary of the building management, disappointed, do not recommend

They made some major mistakes and did not take responsibility. I would be weary of the building management. They really need to improve on their honesty. I would not recommend Okalee of Medina based off of our families experience there.

Highly Recommended

We toured Okalee of Medina during our search for an Assisted Living facility for our loved one. This facility was wonderful! The cleanliness and friendliness are great. The food and cost are great, also. I would highly recommend this facility to others.

My Tour Experience at Okalee of Medina

We only visited Okalee and my parents chose to live at Haven Homes in Maple Plain because they offered long term care. The standard one bedroom apartment was small and laid out strangely. The people were helpful as e tried to make decisions.

At this community there is certainly a big lack of communication between the staff and families.

Small, Close Knit Community

The staff has been good at communicating with the family. The community is small for memory care, and it is new. They only have 12 residents for memory care residents. I think this is perfect!
