My older sister lived at Cottagewood Senior Communities in Rochester, Minnesota, from January, 2017…read moreto April, 2019. I can wholeheartedly re-commend Cottagewood Senior Communities to families searching for living arrangements for a family member - in my experience Cottagewood was very understanding, helpful, and compassionate at a time when I needed all the assistance I could obtain, being senior myself and overwhelmed with responsibilities of a kind I had never had to deal with before. The cottages are graded as to the degree of assistance required. The senior nursing staff nurses were understanding and helpful, even though at times the seniors living there were not easy to care for. The administrative staff have walked me through times when I wasn't sure what to do next. The daily hands-on nursing staff were wonderful people, compassionate and kind. The visiting medical personnel took good care of medical problems as they arose. A huge 'thank you' to all of them! Solveiga A. Kim

My mom lived in BLC for her last two months. The staff was wonderful with her and were communicated…read morewith us when they noticed something that may need our attention. They were also able to get my mom to do activities, which the other two places she lived were not able to do, which made us feel like she was part of community. They also asked us questions to get to know mom better, at meals they would sit with the residents and talk about their families or interests, it was very nice to feel like they were trying to get to know mom. Every time we asked mom if she liked it there, her response was always, "I really like it here" Toward the end for my mom, my sisters and I spent a lot of time in her room. The staff was amazing to us, brought us snacks, water, coffee, etc. They also would stop by her room and check on her and us to make sure there wasn't anything we needed. At the same time they gave us our privacy during a very difficult time. When my mom passed, I was pleased with how many people came in and told us something about how mom touched their lives. I am so happy that we chose BLC for my mom!

My father has been at Benedictine on two separate occasions and for two very different reasons. The…read morefirst time it was due to having a knee replacement done. He thrived there and therapy was wonderful. The aides were so nice to him and great to us as a family when we had question. That was 2 1/2 years ago, since that time my father has had not one but two strokes and spent 5 months a Benedictine trying to get back to whatever is to be his new normal. We were very unsure if he would even walk again. My father is now in an assisted living facility and doing very well. No he is not what he used to be but thanks to therapy and the help of the nursing staff and aides at Benedictine his is able to walk and do many more things than we ever thought possible. They are amazing people that do amazing things for the residents that live there. They have a tough job but always found time to cheer him up and on. Without them I am sure he would not be were he is. Thank you all at Benedictine for making his life better, and know this if he ever has to make a nursing home his permanent place to live he would want it to be at Benedictine.

The residents were very nice, welcoming for the couple of meals that I was there for. The building is beyond nice for what I would have expected for an assisted living place, and I worked at one for a couple of years. When dad moved in, the building guy was there to mount the tv and inspect the apartment to ensure it was up to our expectations.
