The Opal Senior Living

Felt like home when I walked in the door. Most of the residents involved in a lively activity in the main room. The central open kitchen offering a delightful aroma of an upcoming lunch (a nearby side bar with a decadent chocolate dessert. Clean and fresh hallways and common areas. Staff friendly and welcoming and with only 20 residents a good ratio of staff. The presentation was clear and concise and focused on our needs before talking of price. Children playing at a nearby daycare was a welcome sound as well. Loved it.

we liked this facility. great and caring staff. good set-up. clean and tidy. we were impressed by flexible feeding schedules. very nice.

We were looking for a place for our uncle, who was a World War II veteran. From the time we walked through the front door of Belvedere Commons, our uncle loved it, and so did we. The facility is lovely, the staff was caring and very professional, and the accommodations were great. They treated our uncle like a "HERO" and we would highly recommend this facility to anyone who is looking for a first class facility for their loved one.

Just looked at this community and they had all that we were looking for. My mom just needed to downsize and the minute we walked in, she felt like it was home. The fresh food baking, friendly staff (that have worked there 9, 10 years) and warm feeling. It was small so mom didn't feel overwhelmed. Love seeing her happy again at Sterling House of Inver Grove Heights.

Good referral

Beautiful facility and grounds.

They were very friendly and accommodating. I had two days to get my dad placed and we were able to get him in right away, and it just worked out perfect. I especially would like to give a shout of praise out to Dina who was extremely helpful.

Dina we can not thank you enough for all of your help getting our Father moved in so quickly. He is in great hands and is really enjoying being there.I would totally recommend to anyone needing an Assisted living residence to check you out. I'm so glad we did.Thanks again.

My experience with Sterling House of Middleton has been great. The facility has a very homey feel. The people there are so warm and caring. My mom absolutely loves it there. She loves the food as well. The food is always made fresh everytime. Staff is very helpful and accommodating. Very sweet people. I would definitely recommend Sterling House to others.

I just wanted to say how friendly all of the staff are at Sterling House when I toured. We are looking at placement for our mom and feel that we have found her new home.

When you enter Sterling House of Spring Hill you will find large, open and well lit spaces. The staff has been an answer to prayer. They gently encouraged and succeeded in getting my parents to participate in extra activities and mom and dad love it! I can now spend more time with and enjoying my parents. We know that mom and dad are well cared for at Sterling House.

My Mother lived here for three years !!! She was always very happy here!! The staff was excellent and always there to help! She loved the food and the fact that it was so small and quaint!!!

So far, I am very satisfied with Sterling House. It provides a safe, clean and friendly place for my husband. I hope he will soon become involved in the activities that are provided. He says he will. It takes his a while to "warm up" to new surroundings.

We certainly enjoyed our visit, but there are some questions as to whether or not they could take care of Dick. They will be looking into that. The price is higher than I expected, but maybe all of them are higher this year. They may not want Dick to use his power chair there - at least not with the power on - for fear of bumping things. We interviewed with Patty and Heidi. They are great people to represent Sterling House because they are both very likable.

They don’t have skilled nursing. I’m told the activities are good. This community has a comfortable home environment with a very friendly and caring staff. Well worth checking out. The food is excellent. The parking might be a little limited.

I can't find much to complain about at Clare Bridge. The day we checked my mom in, each of the staff members, plus the director, came into the room to introduce themselves to mom. The staff keeps them busy and engaged all day, so they don't spend a lot of time alone in their rooms. It's very, very small, only about 20 residents; just a perfect size for lots of attention from the staff. And speaking of the staff, they are lovely, caring, friendly and helpful. Robert, the director, already made his fortune in another line of work. He is at Clare Bridge to make a difference in the lives of Alzheimer's patients. Oh, and did I mention that the food is absolutely outstanding? There's also a day care next door so the residents can be outside and watch the kids. Mom is SO happy here--she actually thanked my sister and I for bringing her there. I'm sure everyone will have a different experience, but ours so far (early May 2014) has been fantastic. Two huge thumbs up!!!

The service our loved one has been getting is excellent. We’ve had the food and it’s very good. There is enough parking so that it’s not a problem. There aren’t any real problems with the laundry service. It’s a friendly and clean community.

It’s a very good place. My mother-in-law likes the food. It looks good and smells good. The community is clean and the staff is friendly. I don’t know a lot about the activities, but my mother-in-law hasn’t said anything negative.

Christi very helpful. Deerwood is 100% ALF. Family established and operated. She no doubt reflects the policy of the owners that residents are #1. Truly sincere in her interest in the community, people, and employees. Facilities and services are much the same. Medical: nurse on duty 24/7. Chambrel uses LRPN,

Well I must Say, Thank you "A Place for Mom.com" they helped so much in getting the process started & helping me find the perfect new home for Mother. Richard Thomas is GREAT! I was a bit afraid of how my Dear Mother would react to moving from her own home to Sterling House. Well I am so very happy, as is my Mother & the entire family. She is having a blast! She loves her new home. She loves the staff as do I. Laura in Ft Myers & Carol in Lehigh Acres are the BEST!! I could go on & on about everything & everyone else but you see my ratings, 5 Star+... Mom has only been there a few weeks now, but I am so pleased with my choice. THANK YOU STERLING HOUSE STAFF :-)
