'Great... if you can afford it
From what I have seen and experienced personally, I would give Windermere a 5 on items 1 - 7. However, it's difficult to give a high mark for item 8 simply because the cost is beyond what people of modest means could possibly afford.

A great place to live.
Independent living residents have access to 3 meals a day. There is no "meal plan" and they pay only for the meals they eat. The apartments are spacious and inviting, with plenty of storage.

Very Good
I thought this was the best fit for my dad . It was modern , clean and the people were very friendly.He really enjoys the food and loves that there is a chapel right there for his Catholic mass. He likes not having to go out for doctors appointments all his medical needs are taken care of right there.

Overall great place
We really like it. It's expensive but probably not different from other places like this. The location is very nice. Quiet residential area but close to HyVee grocery store. People rave about the food. I think it's average but reasonably priced. Nice to have a restaurant. Really friendly. Our apartment has lots of windows so very light. Also, they have a beautiful chapel. There are lots of nuns here and it's mostly Catholic but they have a nondenominational service on Wed morning. We aren't Catholic so appreciate that.

Could get better
There should be a check list before you sign up. We were misinformed many times. We do like it but it was a let down on facts before. So many checks and balances and misinformation. I think I could do better

Benedictine Windermere Way review
I would give all a 5 except for the cleanliness only of her dwelling. Our loved one wishes for cleaning more than once a month. Everything that keeps our loved one entertained is available - puzzles, cards, dining, style shows, etc.

Our Experience
My loved one was previously a resident at Benedictine Windermere Way and the experience was okay overall. My loved one had so much more going on at this facility than she did at her previous facility, which is why we moved her back here when we got the chance to.

excellent staff, nice place to live, great atmosphere
The staff is very friendly and willing to help. We have a one bedroom corner unit and it's very light and bright. Big windows and a balcony. 1 1/2 bath. We haven't used many amenities yet but they do offer lots of activities, big variety. Very nice chapel. Especially cater to Catholics. Do have 1 nondenominational service each week

My review
They really need to do a better job of assessing the person coming in. Every week the care need went up and in the third week they said he needed to be in memory care. Also when the care went up he was not getting the care we were paying for. Those are my thoughts

our families experience, friendly and caring staff and residents, would recommend
The tenants are friendly and happy people. They engage with new people and the various spaces are set up great for the events they hold. My father-in-law passed in early December, but the staff was very caring leading up to him having to go into the hospital, and we were able to connect with the housing Director and nursing Director often to discuss his needs and variation of care.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know Minnesota’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about Minnesota’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

A Place for Mom has scored Benedictine Windermere Way 9.2 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.   We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.   Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
