Birchwood Cottages - Owatonna
5.0

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.

My mother has been living at Mankato Lodge for almost a year now. We have had nothing but great experiences with the staff and residents there. My mother absolutely loves living there. Knowing mom is safe and happy is all we could ever want.
