Recent reviews of Independent Living in Columbus, MN
Bel Rae Senior Living in Mounds View, MN
4.7

We chose Bel Rae Senior Living because of the newness of the building, the friendly and helpful staff members, and the overall accommodations as well. He has a 1 bedroom apartment and it is a little on the smaller side if your have more furniture. The food is ok and they keep striving to improve it. Overall, I would recommend to others who are looking.

Boulder Ponds Senior Living in Lake Elmo, MN
5.0

My mom fractured her hip while living down in Az. With us being in Mn, we knew we had to move her back to Mn in order to help her more moving forward. She was planning on moving back, just not this soon. I looked at several places, and Boulder Ponds “checked all our boxes”. My mom moved in sight unseen. We were so nervous, because she loved her place in Az and all her friends. That move was 2 months ago. She has been so impressed with everything so far. She loves her apartment, she is meeting a lot of great friends, enjoying the activities and she really enjoys the staff!
