White Pine Advanced Assisted Living and Memory Care of Fridley

I think the staff is fabulous and I think they are a very caring group! They are wonderful to all the residents – there is a broad variety of patients in there. It’s amazing to me that they can take care of such a wide variety. Every time I walk in there it’s homey and when driving up everything to it is very nice. I like that it’s all inclusive. I didn’t want to get into a place that nickeled and dimed things. I have seen a calendar with a lot of activities.

I wish I would have not counted on the outside appearance, because the care is below standard. The laundry is suppose to be done 1 or 2 times per week and I waited two weeks before complaining. They did the laundry and placed it in the middle of the floor without putting it away. This is a memory care unit and it very much upset my mother. They had a outbreak of flu so everyone was on quarantine, and this is 2 1/2 weeks later and the bathroom has not been cleaned ! They do walk mother to eat but not back to her room , which upsets her. I really believe they do not have training in dementia or Alzheimer's because routine is imperative, and there is none.

Overall we're very pleased with how things have gone at this community! It's a great looking place, everything is always very clean and well kept. The staff have all been very friendly and professional. My parents rave about how friendly and helpful the girls here have been for them! They've also got a good variety of activities in their memory care section. The biggest complaint they've had is that since the memory care unit is the last stop when it comes to meal delivery the food and coffee often arrive cold.

The staff at White Pine were very positive in way they cared for the old folks at white pine. they were cheerful and professional at the same time. My family member had a problem with being depressed. The folks that run White Pine helped her stay positive.

Pleasing open space. Staff is very friendly and caring. Responses to residents is always warm and cheerful. Mostly has a clean smell upon entry. Food is simple. Could use some shaped plates so that those who scoop their food onto the utinsels would have a border to push it against-- it otherwise ends up on the table as it falls off the fork. This would enable some to feed themselves where as they might otherwise have to be helped by others

I am very pleased with my choice of White Pine for my Mother!

Not so great. The staff was friendly, but thought the place was too dark and too old. I didn't like much about it.

There was a little confusion when I called ahead to confirm the tour as to who was going to give the tour. Instead of meeting with Danielle, Rachel gave us a tour. I felt like Rachel did know a fair amount about the facility but she was not great at giving the tour. I did like the activities and staff friendliness. They also do not provide a la carte services. You get everything for one price. The per month price is more than other places but if you consider all the services it's competitive. Availability is an issue and the disorganization was a turn-off but I have not ruled it out.

The price is all inclusive and the care is good. They interact with my wife very much. They have different activities every day. I've had nothing but a great experience with them so far. The food ahs been excellent.

This was a beautiful place but feel that because they do not deliver meals to the assited side , this will not work .
