Best Kept Secret
Our aunt chose this assisted living community for herself 2 years ago, after her Alzheimer’s diagnosis. It has been an amazing home for her. Her apartment is beautiful, the staff is amazing and have become like family to her, her days are busy with fun activities and adventures, and she has made wonderful friends. It’s also a small enough community that no one falls through the cracks-everyone receives top-notch care. Oh! Bonus-the food is excellent!

Our Time with A Place For Mom and The Shores of Lake Phalen
A Place for mom gave us many options to look at. We as a family of 5 siblings wanted out parents to be close by so we can all visit. The Shores of lake Phalen was not in the area us kids wanted to look, but when we went and toured The Shores of Lake Phalen we were stunned. It is a little bit further of a drive but for the price!!! We make the lager drive. All-inclusive Pricing has made it so easy for us to manage our parents finances. Thank you

Love Love
I moved my mother here in October 2023 from a similar community. I have nothing but great things to say about this community. The gentleman that helped us from the beginning was most accommodating, from being patient cause mom was nervous to move(it took us over a year to make the decision and get the move done, to the day we moved in. I am new to the metro and didn’t have much help with the physical move, he took time and came in on his day off to give us a hand moving furniture. The food was well above what mom was getting at her former community. Activities every day, outings on the bus. The maintenance director even came in to help us, hook up her television and introduce himself. I could not be more happy about moms time at this community.

I like that they check on the residents often, it's all inclusive, and have chauffeured shopping trips. They could improve on medicine dispensary.

I didn't realize the clock started after I paid the $[removed] non-refundable deposit.
They sent me a bill for over $[removed] & my mother hadn't moved in yet. They did make some changes & got it down to just over $[removed]. It was due to the clock starting. They seem really slow on taking orders & serving meals. They seem to be true with checking on her twice a day & twice at night. There seem to be plenty of medical people checking on her.

Great staff, beautiful place
I went with my friend to visit her mother, whom has severe Alzheimer, and was in AWE of this place. Certainly a step up from the one I visited my grandmother in in Cali.([language removed] out there for $$$$). There are activities and a very nice gathering room in her wing. The staff was busy but still very friendly with all the residents. It amazes me how friendly the workers are when they have so many to take care of, I'd be pulling my hair out.

We made a good choice finding needed living facilities for our two sisters.
The Shores of Lake Phalen appear to be above average in providing assisted living facilities. It has had its problems with change of ownership and directors in the past two years but seems to be making improvements with the present management team. As with any health care facility there is the problem of keeping good employees on staff with frequent turnover of caregivers. We admitted two sisters in April 2015, one to Memory Care Unit and the other to an assisted living apartment. At that time we were not very impressed with the caregivers in memory care except for one or two who seemed to try to relate to the patients needs and to initiate interactions rather than be task orientated. Our sister there passed away the following Dec. I understand they are now giving special training to the caregivers in Memory Care with emphasis on interaction and communication and they are providing the residents with more activities. Our sister in assisted living is very satisfied with the facility and involved in many activities provided, games, special events and trips to Walmart, Dollar Store and grocery stores provided by the activity department. She has made many friends while there. There is a problem with transportation to Doctor appointments. It would be great if a shuttle car could be available in the future for this purpose even if there was a fee charged.

An Excellent Choice for Our Mom
From the first visit the staff has been amazing. This was a difficult time for all of us, but the staff helped us at every turn. From touring the facility, to answering questions, getting my mom settled in her room and helping us decide what services were best for her, adding more when needed and keeping us informed about any changes with her. We are always to get any questions answered quickly. The facility is warm and welcoming, the food is excellent and there are lots of activities.

Very proactive and helpful during a stressful time.
The Shores Of Lake Phalen really helped us in a critical time. My mother was supposed to move into another community and hours before they cancelled on us. We frantically looked for options and The Shores had an evaluation set up later that afternoon. I really appreciated how prompt they were in our time of need.I would say the staff, cleanliness and activities are all a 5 here. The food is a 4 because my mother is not enthralled about it. Overall, I would recommend The Shores.

This community looked clean when I visited. When I walked in it did feel a little dreary. The people I met were nice and they were flexible when I needed to take the tour. They did not have the room we needed when we were looking.

This was a nice community with nice staff members. They had a nice menu of meals that would have been served. The community was nice, but not what we were looking for. Families should tour this community for a decision on family needs for care and value.

My cousin is doing fine and she seems to be content. It was a good place to find. She has been enjoying most of the meals that are made. She also has been going down to some activities ans enjoys them. They were very accommodating and helpful at the beginning and they seem to take good care of her. She has not complained about the staff or residents.

Just Moved Mom In.
I chose this community because it is a newer development. I have a good feeling with Mom living at this community because the staff are attentive and easy to talk with. There are activities available but my mom has not yet to try one. My mom's room is always clean and I have no issues with the rest of the community being clean. My mom likes the food and she get alternatives if she does not want the meal served. I would recommend this community

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:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and 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 you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Minnesota regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections 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 community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Minnesota regulations for Assisted Living.
