Trouvaille Memory Care Suites in Excelsior, MN
5.0 / 5.0

We've been very pleased with how things have gone with BeeHive Homes! It's a very nice community, and they've been very easy to work with through the whole process. They were very accommodating to our situation when we moved our loved one in, and we've been happy with the service and communication we've had since.

New Perspective Prior Lake
4.7 / 5.0

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.

Vista Prairie at Garnette Gardens in Redwood Falls, MN
5.0 / 5.0

My mom moved into Garnett Gardens in 2018. She was in assisted living. She loved the activity of people always being around. She visited with friends. Loved playing in the Nut Goodie Band. Entertainment, making lefse and other food. We moved her into the Memory Care unit awhile ago when she could no longer be in AL. It was a perfect fit. She feels safe and has friends. The new activity person for MC, [name removed], is awesome. She has activities everyday. They play games, make pies, cakes, lefse. There is bingo and music. The ladies get there nails touched up every week. She has made a difference for the residents and the workers. The workers, aids, CNA's, LPN's, RN's, maintenance, office people are all wonderful. They get to know the residents and their family members.
