The rooms are just beautiful with lots of space.

They really gave me a lot of information for more independent living. Mostly people that are just normal. I talked to man in charge but never was able to talk to staff. I didn't like just talking to the person in charge. It is a brand new building. The rooms are just beautiful with lots of space. I would have liked to have seen more of the staff and the residents.

By comparison to experiences I have had at other places, Countryside Manor has been good. Mom complains a little bit about the food, but I am not sure if that is just her, as she has made that complaint elsewhere and her appetite is not what it used to be. They seem to be very responsive and mom is very pleased with them, so we are too.

The services are very good, with the exception of the service in the dining room. The food is good, but the service is lacking a small bit, due possibly to the staff needing to be better trained. Other than that one small critique, I am very well pleased.

Review of Coventry of Mahtomedi Alzheimer's / Memory Care in Mahtomedi, MN

My visit last week went well. The rooms were smaller than those at Cerenity & NO furnishings come with them. Also, there are only 16 rooms that aren't memory care, and so it would not be easy to get into. Common areas were very nice.

A nice place, going through a bit of transition

We're pleased with this community so far, it's a clean, nice looking place, and the staff are friendly. The food service is phenomenal! At the time of this review the care services leave a little to be desired, they are going through a transition to a new director of nursing. But they are definitely making the effort, and I am seeing improvement.

Although the place is not opulent the decor and feeling is much like a home and family ,not Like a hotel. The staff is attentive without being overly intrusive and very willing to adapt their ways to Mom's likes and dislikes. They really appears to enjoy working with this age of clients. The "care plan" is dynamic which is needed as her needs change. Meals are not fancy but nutritious.

We had looked around and chose Coventry because it's a new place and it's a very nice set up there. The people really bent over backwards to try and help us any way they could.

Large and High Care Level

Very nice, but more hospital-like situation. It might be better for my mom in the future, but it is a little too much for her right now. My preference is a smaller community, and Parkside Manor is a larger set up. They do provide a high level of care. I liked all the activities and they made sure that people would attend. My mom can't make her own decisions and they helped with that.
