Lifespark Senior Living

I would tell others looking into Elk Ridge to label everything. Things tend to walk off with memory care. With that being said, leave valuable items with family. Beyond that my experience has ben very good. The room sizes are very good, but I think that more single rooms should be offered and at the same price as the shared rooms. I gave them a 3 due to missing things and lack of phone calls when my dad has to go to the ER.

Hamilton House Senior Living is a beautiful facility and the public spaces are very clean. However, the housekeeping in the individual resident units is not great. It is supposed be done weekly, but it's done maybe once every three weeks in our experience. The food is great. The activities could be more varied. More music activities would be nice. The staffing is probably like all places - not enough. Some of the caregivers are fantastic and others are just okay. We had some delay in care during the first couple of weeks. We were frustrated that while they said they would investigate, no mention of trying to do better in the future. Definitely no apology. I don't get communication from the staff . Perhaps no news is good news? The Nursing Director was very responsive the first two weeks, but after that I need to search her out for questions/answers.

Harrison Bay Senior Living is advertised as smoking permitted, however, the back door the elderly need to go out is not electronically hooked up to an automatic door opener. It is a heavy metal fire door. The elderly cannot open the door nor manage to navigate in and out of the building with a walker. In fact other than the front door, there is no automatic doors for any of the elders to easily go outside to enjoy the back patio, as well as the smoking area. Return calls from the Assistant Director of Health Services [name removed], does NOT return calls timely if at all. I’ve been waiting for four (4) days (from today), for an answer to one question I had and have left two messages requesting a call back... Crickets Harrison Bay Senior Living is hugely understaffed for kitchen duties. Often times residence wait up to an hour to get waited on in the dining room.

Facility was very nice but felt she was more focused on Assisted Living rather than memory care. Also was going to follow up with me on a few things I had asked about but I never heard anything back on those.

Elk Ridge Alzheimer's Special Care Center was a good place for my loved one, but there were definitely some deficiencies. My loved one truly needed more care than they could provide. I would recommend this facility to friends and family, depending on level of care needs.

Friendly staff nice clean building and lots of activities.

The Legacy of St. Anthony is essentially a shell. It provides good meals and comfortable shelter, but most other services are provided by outside organizations. The aides who do the daily work are capable. As far as sympathy and condolences at the end of our family member's life, those were provided solely by hospice, not by Legacy, and we found that absence painful.

The staff were all very friendly and it is a clean facility with good food. We felt there was not much privacy, people would walk into my loved ones room unannounced. There was no call buttons which we felt was unusual. It seemed to be all about the business and less about the residents.

The care services were really good before COVID, however now it is a little hard to get information from them sometimes because they are having to follow the restrictions. Right now the meals are being delivered to the residences rooms.

I am content here. Like my apartment and the workers are great. Food could always be better but it is hard to satisfy everyone. I bare no comparison so my opinion is they are all alike, it is up to you to be satisfied.

We went on a tour of this community. The staff was nice and helpful. They answered all of my questions. The rooms were nice and spacious. They just don't offer a lot of activities. It just not a good fit for me.

Looked nice, but not as good as others regarding size (big) with LONG halls to manage for impaired walking for spouse. Required moving to another apartment if moving up to assisted living -- also for spouse.

The Legacy of St. Anthony is a newer facility and very nice. Ashley was excellent at describing the environment and answering our questions. We appreciate that the kitchen had an apartment sized oven and refrigerator....feels more like an apartment. Overall The Legacy of St.Anthony is an impressive Assisted Living facility. I'm only giving it a 'fair' rating since we have only had a first tour.

Minnehaha Senior Living could improve so they make communication a little easier. The communication between the staff and the residents family is not that great. I usually have to call to get any information. It would be nice to establish regular communication with them. There also seems to be a language barrier but I am not sure how to get passed that. My dad really struggles with it.

The staff is friendly. The public areas are kept a little better than the private areas. Sometimes response time can take a little bit, and the staff isn't as social with the residents as I would like. They seem to do okay with providing activities, and opportunities for the residents to socialize. Considering they are new, they seem to be doing a good job. The client loves the food.

Our family visited the landmark and it was a very nice community with nice staff, and clean grounds we found the community to be a bit high out of our price range. I would recommend anyone to visit as they might fit some of the care needs to the families unfortunatly not ours.

Presently have my mom living here. Still getting their programming organized. Not enough cognitive stimulation for memory care residents. Caregivers are always running- they need more staff. I think the layout of the building is part of the problem. It was designed to provide the residents privacy but it makes it difficult to efficently give care.

Very disappointed in how it is run. Poor care and little activity.

We had to move my folks out of there because they couldn't care for them! They do not keep enough staff! And the dining room food went downhill fast and constant staff change there as well!

Legacy was bought out by Valora Senior Living. The director who we liked has left and prices are going up. Service is getting worse and today we were almost late for an appointment because staff did not have her ready as promised. There has been a lot of turnover in health aides since the buyout.
