Lifespark Senior Living

I think it is great and beautiful

Great curb appeal Always a clean environment Cheerful, helpful staff Competent care givers

I toured here when looking for a place for my parents. The facility is very new and the location was pretty ideal. They didn’t have the size unit that my parents were looking for though, so we wound up choosing a different facility. I think the largest rooms they have are only one bedroom. The facility looked pretty clean overall. The person that took us on a tour seemed knowledgeable and able to answer all of our questions.

Visited yesterday. Excellent activities. New facility. For profit. Does not accept state waiver.

My mom is here currently and everything is going really well. The community itself is right by my house and I actually watched it being built, so it made it an easy choice. It’s very nice and it’s more like a lodge than any type of nursing home. She seems to be doing really well considering it was a tough transition at first. The staff has been really good. The only problem right now is there is a big staff change going on, so I’m hoping they can keep up with everything. The staff in the dining area has had a really good report. You walk into the dining room and they always have a smile on their faces, they know all of the residents’ names, and they just seem happy to be there. The food is really nice too. If you don’t want something that they’re serving, they’ll happily make you something else and they have 2 separate menus that you can choose options from – one is a regular menu and the other is filled with alternate options. Dinner is served from 5 to 6:30, so there’s no rush for you to get there and if you don’t want dessert then they’ll pack it up for you for later. They have tons of activities like movies, entertainers will come in, there’s a craft room, an exercise room, and bingo. There’s pretty much new things going on all the time and the activities director is very nice. There are 4 steps for extra care, depending on the level that your loved one is. My mom is in step 3 and that includes help with medicine, help with bathing, and they help her get to and from the dining area. They also gave her a necklace that she can wear that has a button she can press if she needs help. I love it here and my mom loves it here and I would recommend them to others.

Every time I come into the building I am greeted with a smile. I go around many other buildings as I Volunteer and it always looks nice, smells good and staff is very friendly. The resident’s happy!

I had pleasant tour of this community. My tour guide was a kind gentleman. He was friendly, and informative. The community looked very nice from what I was shown. My concern was the kitchen in the room he showed me. The flooring of the kitchen was paper like. That scared me a bit, and I didn't wanna be responsible if anything happen to the floors. It was a nice experience, but I didn't feel it was the community for me.

The Galbe was brand new and looked way too upscale. The chairs in the dining room were designer, and it seemed like overkill. The decorations were nice. It was mostly Assisted Living some memory care.

Overall I think Gable Pines is a very nice place. The staff is friendly and professional, and they genuinely seem to care about the people that they look after. Really the only issue we've had is that getting in touch with specific members of the nursing staff can be a long process. That being said, the care staff in general are very responsive to requests. I would definitely recommend them!

My father was in this community during his transition period. He did very well during his stay at this community. I knew he was safe, and being provided with great care. I was very pleased with all they did for my family. This is a very nice community with caring people.

This is a beautiful place to live with extremely caring staff. We especially appreciate [Removed], the assistant who helps my Grandma each day, and [Removed], who waits on her each night in the dining room. Their sincere care for her has helped to put us at ease knowing she is in good hands there and that they are really looking out for her best interest. The food there is wonderful and we really appreciate that we can join her for lunch or dinner when we want and just have to pay for our own meals. The nursing staff is quite thorough and their attention to detail has been appreciated. There have been a few surprises in regards to fees and care costs that were not disclosed at our first meeting, that we found out about after deciding to move her into there. We have ended up paying much more than we had thought we were going to, but we know that she is in good hands.

Clean, friendly, I would live here!!! The entire staff was very accommodating and the community is absolutely beautiful

Wonderful place, too expensive for us, Mom back to not moving at this time, [Removed] was very understanding, helpful, Gable Pines has very nice size one bdrm with den, can all washer/dryer, use necklace alerts, pullcords in bathrm only, liked the size of the den, bathrm, closets, and storage room, many nice community rms, rooftop patio, theater.

Building is clean and comfortable. Meals are ok. People are friendly and helpful.

Mom is doing well living at this community. The staff are pretty good. There is an issue with the food not being very good, however they are working to improve it. This is a brand new community. They offer a lot of activities and I would recommend this community.

Great small facility - but after my visit I went to Brainerd and met with my father - he has opted to try home health care services first. He also strongly demands that he stay in Brainerd long term I really will keep little falls information in my file as it can always remain in my options if necessary.

We looked here for options. They didn't offer enough hours of nursing care for our needs. We also liked a place that was in a better location for us, so we went with that. This just wasn't the best fit for us.

The Landmark of Fridley is the night staff was not very good and we had a lot of bumps in the road at first. Most of them were because of mom though. Things have evened out now. It's been a long road but all in all I am happy with my experience here.

The people at Legacy of St Anthony are wonderful. They treat my mother with kindness and respect. It is the nicest facility I have ever seen. There were a few things that did not go as planned with the move and then the double deposit when moved from one room to another was not told about. We were told that my mom could take a bus to church but then was not able to because someone has to be with her when she gets off the bus which was not explained to us until she wanted to go but these are things that we can work around but you need to be up front about everything

Everyone is friendly and nice and helpful. It is a great group of people but my mother in law fell and I didn't get a call right away which could have been better. I know they're busy but they could have been more concerned. I feel like there could be more activities. My father in law is bored. I feel like the activities are catered more for women and there could be more outings.
