Encore

It's perfect for my mother. She's having a great time. Right now she isn't receiving and care. The meals are wonderful as well. The activites - there is a lot of stuff to choose from and to do and my mother just jumped right in. They have several outings and things a week. She can go grocery shopping with a group. They have wii bowling leagues, a knitting club, swimming and a lot of brian power type activities so that you're challenged to think more and exercise your brain. They were very helpful with the move and explaining how things work. It was a really good experience.

Very nice, calm like a home setting. Not overly bright though. Studio apartments open and comfy but not overly large. Friendly leasing agent who took the time to get to know things about my dad and his former hobbies/pasttimes/likes and dislikes. Other residents friendly and outgoing. I will be going back with dad for a visit. *of special note, Rebecca Nagey, the leasing agent, was kind enough to take a dinner over to my dad's house because she was going to be in the area. Very nice and unexpected.

We were seeking a homelike approach to memory care which was person centered and offered a lot of individualized care. From the moment you walk into the memory care community at Coventry of Mahtomedi, it feels like home. The 16 apartments per floor are arranged around a central kitchen/dining/activity/TV area that is well decorated, and spacious, with windows letting the outdoors in. The attendants were engaged with the community members and the atmosphere was cheerful. All the staff we met in the condensed (less than 10 days) intake process were professional, knowledgeable, nice and delivered great customer service. They went to great lengths to accommodate our busy schedules and the urgency of getting mom moved as soon as possible. Her new 1 bedroom apartment is smallish, but it is nicely laid out and more than meets her needs. We moved her in late in the day and throughout the process the Coventry staff were available and stayed at work late to ensure a smooth transition for her. When I went back the next morning to visit her, she said "I love it here!" She has only been there for 48 hours, but the return of her smile which had disappeared at her previous placement is evidence that this is a good fit for her. That is the best part of all.

Bellevue is a really good community when it comes to assisted living and independent living I have not seen any that are better. Their staff is friendly and the community is just fantastic. The food is fantastic. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for assisted living and independent living community.

spoke with Angela, executive director. CountrySide Manor has two facilities - East with 15 beds; $4600/mo private room; $4275/mo semi-private room plus Level 1 charge of $965/mo; Level 2 charge of $1325/mo . . . depending on assessment level of care. West has same level of care charge, but Room charge $5325/private; $4650/semi-private. Have immediate openings. Full service thru hospice care treatment. RN 6am-9pm; on call at night.

Bldg 1.5 yrs old. 1st and 3rd floors memory care, 1 1 BR (Dahlia $3,500)and studio (Juniper, $3245) avail. Kitchenette, looks like apt complex, take 2 years private pay then elderly waiver program (state/fed assisted programs). They only take certain number of financial assisted residents but would save a spot. Ave age of residents 82, but many late 60's-70's? Worth a tour! May be a bit far NE.

Number 1 Choice - Kelly is great and enthusastic. She talked to Mom and really listened to her. Focus on integration to population, showing common areas, laundry, fitness center with big windows (treadmills included) and salon. Smelled Good! Liked the layout of the apartments, brightness, lots of windows, protected patio for sitting outside, ability to walk. Like the safety and security - have to check in and out, if not at breakfast someone is knocking at the door. Very impressed with evening activities which are important to keep Mom busy and motivated. Had lunch at the facility and nice to have dietary needs met. Lots of activity, ability to take residents to church is a big plus. Like the indoor parking garage and ease of driving in and out of the facility and being able to take back roads in to town. Need to update the information sheet - no walking trails.

It was GREAT, dad and I both liked the size of the community, more intimate, director that showed us around was well informed, two bedroom two bath was great, friendly enough place, relatively affordable, NUMBER ONE SO FAR in our search.

Very impressive community. Friendly, very clean, homey atmosphere. The apts were large, kitchettes, bathrooms and storage. Food menu choices featuring seasonal fresh fruit, prepared by a chef daily. The dining room even smelled good. Lots of light with exercise activity starting in the main lobby when I arrived. Residents were of varying degrees of functionality, but it seemed to flow well. A mobile health cart for BP checks and other services. Impressive interaction with local schools and religious community. This is my first choice. I have received a recommendation for this community from a family friend whom has a relative living here. They rave about the care, inclusion of family and the environment.

An outstanding facility.Throughly impressed with size of hallways with rails on both sides if someone needs to use walker, hydration / drink stations, areas to stop and rest or socialize, very clean, professional staff, employess enjoy working there, etc

We liked very much.

helpful tour, possibility

Dad can spend the night!!! nice, apartment and studio, no outdoor space

Loved this place.

This has been a positive experience with the community for my loved one and family. I believe they are open and welcoming to the residents and family as well. They have a hair dresser, medical services, Physical and Occupational therapy on site for the residents to utilize. The community will bring the food to the resident's room if my loved one doesn't want to leave their room. They are willing to do my loved one's laundry as well. Anytime my loved one has an appointment my loved one is ready and nicely dressed.

We really like the people at Revere Court and we really like the facility. Unfortunately the staff to resident ratio is 9:1, so it is not enough care for my loved one and she has fallen quite a bit. We are going to have to find another place that is able to offer more one on one care for her. We really appreciate the place and the staff, we just wish it was possible for her to have more monitoring.

We chose this community because of two deciding factors - one they seem to be a very caring and personable community, they do not feel cooperative and its just a very down to earth place, and second because of the price, the value is very good. The cleanliness is not the issues, the community itself just feels a little tired.

We chose Randall Residence because they allowed smoking and the location of the facility. The room sizes are very good. He does not like the food, he said that the taste is not good at all but I have never had it. I would recommend to others looking.

We chose Encore at Maplewood because it is a very small facility. That is very nice for my friend because it they are like family. The social director here is great and she is more like their residents friend. The facility itself is on a beautiful lake so it is a pretty setting, her room actually looks out over the lake as does the dining room. It is perfect for someone who wants a small but not sophisticated level of activity.

Came to Revere Court because of the employees. Have stayed 5 years because of the employees. They care and do a great job. I am so glad my loved one is here. We looked at so many places.
