My dad just loves Meadowood Shores! Meadowood is the independent living side of the campus. He didn't want to move from his house but he realized he needed a change, just too lonesome after mom passed a couple years ago. We took a visit and he loved it. Staff and residents are wonderful! The apartments a large and clean, and the closet space is AMAZING. Everyone is so warm and friendly, upbeat and enjoyable. The social life for him is the best part, Playing cards, visiting with coffee, going places. No worries for us kids as they have taken care of everything and make moving in and living there a breeze. He is kicking himself for not doing this sooner!

My mom was here for a bout two weeks, but had to leave to go to full time nursing. She was going crazy with all of the really good food and got her diabetes into a mess. Esplanade is a beautiful place though, and they treated her well there. The community was very clean and the staff was always so nice. My mom just wasn't independent enough to live here. She was a serious fall risk and had to use a wheelchair, which was more than the community could safely handle.

I was impressed with the size of the apartments - especially the kitchen. The outside was attractive. I appreciated that it was close to a park. There was a little snafu when we began the tour. Our guide didn’t realize we were scheduled at 2:30. But she recovered and gave a full and detailed showcase of the facility and services. Answering all of our questions and address our concerns.

Staff is cheerful and friendly. While a nurse is on staff during the week, no doctor comes in for even annual checkups. Medication follow ups are very slow unless family steps in to facilitate. The head nurse has changed since [name removed] came there. Food is getting good reviews. Activities are plentiful and enjoyable. Weekends are pretty quiet. As all but a bare minimum of staff go home for holidays, those days can feel pretty empty for residents not leaving for the day. Since it is a smaller facility, it has a homey feel to it, and it makes it easier for the residents to get acquainted with. It is reasonably priced, attractive with regular updates. Units have a variety of layouts. We chose one that is bright and interesting. No place is perfect, but I think we made a good choice.

building well maintained but older modern amenities like in unit laundry and ev car charging not available. somewhat clinical feel long i decorated corridor s meal plan seewed very reasonable

I was not sure it was a facility for me at this point. I am still fully able to take care of myself and my pet. Drive my car for errands and dining out. If in the future I am not able, I will consider your facility. At this point I am not ready to smile and die. I have a class reunion coming up later in the month in SD and I have just had a nephew from WA STATE visit for a few days. Basically my life continues well until the above are no longer possible.

Nice apartments and community areas. There is a therapy pool here, which is nice. The back green area is nice, but small. However, if you move into independent living, you would need to move to another room when you need assisted living.

Very quick to respond to requests if something needs attention. Other residents go out of their way to be helpful. Very close to groceries and pharmacy. Seems like everyone there is happy. They could maybe have a few more options for activities. They don't have a lot of space for some things. So overall they do good with what they have.

Admin staff is helpful, and easy to work with when solutions need to be found. Maintenance calls are billed, and expensive, and haphazard in quality (like hanging pictures) so find an outside vendor to put up pics or drapery rods. 1st - dinner hours are 4:30 to 5:30, which is too early. Mom doesn't like to go at 5, because she says by then staff is inattentive and trying to wrap things up. Ford itself is a matter of personal preference- but mom doesn't have an adventurous palate -- doesn't like ethnic food ( or spicy food). Some nights are buffet only, all themed food, which is, more times than not, ethnic or spicy, with no alternative offered. Level of activities and variety of activities is great, and good gym facilities. There's a nice pool butb waterv temp could be higher for older people to enjoy.

My loved one is very pleased with the care provided by the facility. It has made living 1500 miles away from here a lot less stressful. Happy to recommend Esplanade Gardens to care for an aging parent.

. Food service is slow but the food is good. Everything else is excellent. Located near many good resources. Our two-bedroom apt feels open and spacious. Traffic nearby can be noisy. Nice clean laundry room and many activities available. Nice entertainment activities. I hear waiting list is 6 months. I highly recommend this place. One other caveat is that the Hennepin medical Center and Pharmacy is attached to the building and resident/patients have a key to enter without going outdoors. There is also an exercise facility with staff in this place.

Vision impaired residents will struggle unless they pay for constant help. The front desk staff can be wonderful or rude, depending on who you get. Accounts payable is a mess. When a resident falls, the protocol is nonexistent, especially during meal time because they are busy escorting people down. Daily checks are completely hands off and are simply in place to make sure you are still breathing. They won't even bring you a sweater or pick your hearing aid up off the floor for you when asked.

So far on a hole it’s not bad. It’s actually very very nice very comfortable very clean. I can’t say that they were totally truthful with everything. They told us to begin with and then again it was such a whirlwind experience. I’m not gonna totally blame them. it’s still a little early to tell, but so far I think I like it.

I would recommend them, but assisted living gets very expensive very quickly. The apartments were nice, they had good activities and it was close to family

Always tour facilities. Not all fit all. For me, this was the best possible choice. I understand everyone has different needs. I am happy with choosing Esplanade Gardens. I toured many many facilities.

My mother in law really enjoys the activities. We would recommend this community to other families based on the experience we have had so far.

My parents are taking full advantage of the best features of Village Shores, the staff and activities. This is a community that actually STAFFS its advertised services. It effectively encourages its residents to exercise, get out, and get together.

What we like the most about the community is mainly the staff. The maintenance man could be a little more patient I think but everyone else is great. We would recommend this community to other families based on the experience we have had so far.

Village Shores feels like a friendly community with residents watching out for each other. Staff are also friendly but has a large turnover. There have been some issues with management level turnover for the past several months but hopefully that will settle down soon. The dining room even switched management and there have been some problems with short staff, no food and long wait times. Overall my dad loves this place! I just think that pricing for any good care facility is rather high. If my siblings weren't helping with the cost, my dad could not afford so nice a place. Very sad.

The main reason I chose Summit Place Senior Campus was because of the pool that they have. As far as the food goes, the meat that they serve is dry, the rice has nothing on it, and a lot of times the food is cold when it is served.
