Dad is happy hee

I'm so glad we chose this community for dad. He is settling right in. The ratio of staff to the residents are phenomenally GOOD!! The caregivers are so calm and friendly with my dad they take extra time to get him engaged in the activities. Like model car racing and actually flower arranging he enjoyed that. The food is great and plentiful so he not looking for more throughout the day. Its kept clean inside and well maintained on the grounds. I would recommend this community.

Very poor sanitary care

My mom lived in the Ponds area of the Waters at Mayowood of Rochester. She did like her neighbors and enjoyed the activities. However, their sanitary care was very poor. Over the course of a month, they continuously used Depends and a thick pad at the same time. Early in the month, the nurse agreed this was unsanitary and responded to email that all of staff would be receiving training and then would need to sign off on sanitary care. Yet, they continued to use both after several requests to remove the pads from her room. The urine smell was awful; for my mom's room and her neighbor's room. I have no idea how a worker could go into the room and not smell it. When she was confused, their first request was to increase the care plan for an additional $[removed] per month. While in fact, she had a UTI. I encourage anyone considering moving your parents to the speciality care area of the Waters to take a tour and ask to see a room. Also ask to see and understand their sanitary policy.

Don’t bother

Don’t bother even thinking about moving here. The management only care about making a buck. The building was built cheaply. If something breaks down, maintenance won’t be contacted until the next business day (at the earliest). Any repairs that need to be completed will only be done by their staff from the twin cities, no matter how urgent the repair is. Every other senior living complex we’ve asked would have a local repair company come out within four hours. The maintenance staff at The Waters is rude and will blame the residents for mechanical problems that are the result of cheap equipment. Find a better senior living complex, because The Waters on Mayowood will not value you or your loved ones.

I toured The Waters on Mayowood and thought it was beautiful. It really seemed like a nice place, but it was also the most expensive of the communities I looked at. I opted for a community that was a little more practical for me.

This community looked nice when I visited. They seemed to offer a lot of activities. The staff in the memory care seemed nice. This community does offer transfer assistance. This community was just a little more expensive than what we were looking for.

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.
