62 Memory Care Communities in Hennepin County, Minnesota

We looked at Sunrise of Minnetonka, but we were less impressed with it. The location was difficult to get to and the parking area was not so big. The girl we met there only works part time in their sales office. I didn't think she knew her stuff, or she was just not a good speaker. The dining room was OK. It was on the smaller side, and the tables were cramped together.

My father-in law moved into Sunrise of Minnetonka. The care is OK. The room could be cleaner, but I think he is comfortable there, and that's the important thing. The staff is very nice, but he doesn't like the food. I haven't tasted it. He is in hospice care, and he watches a lot of sports on TV. There's a place right outside his room where the family can go play cards, and that's nice.

My mother ended up getting dehydrated at Sunrise of Minnetonka. They didn't take care of her very well. The staff was not very helpful at all. Even during the move-in time, nobody helped us whatsoever. When we got there, they did a really short assessment, and it was not very good at all. We liked her room. They had arts and flower arrangements. The place was good, but we felt limited because they would not give out any codes to the elevator. When we were trying to move in, we had to find somebody all the time to push a code into the elevator, so it was very inconvenient for us.

Meridian Manor was really nice and they're really good. If something was wrong they would take care of it and they fix it; they just went above and beyond. The atmosphere was good, and the location is easy to get to. Plus, they have nice parking and everything. My sister was just there temporarily, and they supplied her with dishes, towels, and made sure she had furniture. We didn't have to bring anything in, and they did everything for her. The staff members were really good. I met the service guy when my sister's thermostat wasn't working one day, but he came back after he left that night to fix it. She said that the people who helped her were really good as well. The place itself was really nice, and it was always clean and orderly.

The director of Sunrise of Minnetonka gave us the tour. They were very welcoming and friendly. Everything is good there. If I had to go into one of these places, I would consider going there. What we really liked about this community was that we got to talk to some of the residents who were very friendly and one was a Korean War veteran, which was the same as my mother's husband. There were a lot of things going on, so they can relate, talk, and socialize. It was a really good place. What I like about them compared to the other community we visited was that they can take you as you are now. When you get dementia or whatever, they put you in the memory care but allow your spouse to come with you to live in the same room.
