We toured this location when we were looking into care options for our loved one. Overall this seemed like a nice place, it was clean, well kept, and the staff were friendly. It was a bit more expensive than similar options we saw in the area, however.

Nice place but not non-denominational enough. Rates too high as well.

I am very pleased with Foulk Manor North. My loved one is settling in and loves it.

They had great activities. It was a good experience. The parking was fine. They were a clean community. The staff was very friendly. It’s a good value for the money. I’d recommend the community because we had a good experience.

It was a fine community. My apartment was fine. Everything is clean. The food was not the greatest. They could have done with some better employees – one of whom would be the food manager. He wasn’t qualified to be a food manager.

My loved one doesn’t need any special care. It’s just independent living. Everyone is very friendly. The apartments are nice. I wish they offered an evening meal. They offer a breakfast and a full lunch. If you don’t finish your lunch, they offer a to go container. They have very nice outside areas. We chose it because it was pet friendly and because it was close to us.

They are very clean. The staff is very friendly. They are pretty fast to respond to concerns or requests. I think the residents in the memory care area are mostly kept there, I would like to see them brought to the entertainment in the main lobby, without them needing to have a private caregiver to take them. We liked the initial way that it looked, the cleanliness, and the decorations, it looked stately and well kept.

We toured this community when we were looking into care options for my loved one. This was a nice enough looking community. The staff we met were all friendly and it seemed well run. We didn't quite like the feel of this community, however. It didn't have an atmosphere we felt my loved one would be comfortable in, it felt too clinical.

Monticello West is not the new kid on the block, and that is in its favor. My impression is of comfort, gentility, and warmth. Having visited a bit with some of the residents, I find that most of them previously lived within a short distance from where my mother did, and that "small town feel" is intact. Not every resident wants to have a conversation with each new person they see walking the halls , but most everyone is polite and genuinely friendly. The staff is friendly, kind, and helpful, and make me, as a family member, feel quite welcome. I have enjoyed the presence of dogs, both resident and visiting, and that also is a big plus for me and for the community (in my opinion).

Energetic residents, highest on list so far.

We toured this community when we were looking into care options for a loved one. This was a nice looking place, and it was definitely somewhere we would have considered. The staff we met on the tour were friendly and professional, and the facility itself seemed clean. However it wasn't at the top of our list, and wasn't the community we ended up selecting.

Mom, Doug, and Dee got a quick look 03/16/14.

My loved ones were at this community for a time, before a change in care needs necessitated a move. This is a very nice community for independent living, or for those who only need a small amount of assistance. It's a beautiful place, and the staff are friendly and helpful. However, once my parents started needing more help we had to start contracting with an outside service the facility uses for those with higher care needs, which ended up being very expensive. We eventually decided to move them somewhere more focused on assisted living, and closer to family.

Visited 3/4. Good potential. Duplex option. Costs at top of range, however.

We're leaning towards this one for respite care. Would be nice if they had Wifi, but that's OK.

This is a nice community overall, it is a beautiful place and the staff are all very friendly. They do a good job of keeping it up, and it is always clean. The only major issue we had was right when my parents moved in, I feel like the staff could have been a bit more sensitive to my parents moods and done a better job of easing them in to their new situation. They were trying to be friendly and integrate them into the community, but after having lived in a private residence for so many years my parents were overwhelmed by all the people coming to the door to welcome them and try to get them to participate in activities. I know they did it with the best of intentions, but it was a little much my parents right off of the bat.

I'm very happy with them. The food is a three. I would like to have the dress code changed for meals, the men have to wear suit jackets for the evening meal. I chose them for their friendliness, and the feeling of comfort and relaxation. I liked the size and layout of the apartment, and the security systems that are in place. The diversity of age groups is also nice, they seem to have a wider range of ages than others and more men here too.

It just wasn't set up for my mom - no memory care there. We had to get almost 24 hour care in addition to the assisted living, which was out of hand cost wise. I realized that Dad wanted to live a little closer to me, so we decided to move. It was very nice, nothing negative to say, just wasn't set up for my mom. The folks were very nice.

Presidential Place appears to be the best fit for my mom. Nurse and support staff seems attentive to needs. There are clean and spacious rooms. There is no walking area inside secure area, but side walk around building just outside the security gate where residences are allowed to walk in groups or with the activity director. The residence seems to be from multiple cultures which work well. We still have not committed as we will be looking at a few others not on the current list as well as in home care.

It is a beautiful location, right there there by the Mayo Clinic. A lot of people would pay just for that convenience. It's beautiful, but a little overpriced because the units are pretty small. My dad didn't like that. It is all in a 7 story tower, like a tower or something that you would see in the middle of a city. No surrounding grounds per se, and you have to ride elevators to get to each floor.
