Before considering Heathers I'd encourage you to look at other properties instead…read more We intended to ease mom into assisted living at Heathers Manor by starting with an apt. at Heathers Estates, but we have lost our confidence that this is the best place for mom. To be fair, it may be that Heathers simply follows policies from parent company, Transforming Age. They arent exactly paragons of customer service either. All calls go to voice mail and I have never received a response to email inquiries. When submitting questions to Lang Nelson when considering their properties, I received an answer within a day. We are now moving to a Lang Nelson property, which also has more advanced care options when that time comes. Ironically, they used to own Heathers and it was hard to get an opening. Now, even in a tight housing market, they have more than 20 unrented apts. It's a downward spiral; less rental income means a tighter budget. A tighter budget means skimping on amenities and deferring maintenence, which will likely cause even more people to leave. Everyone here talks about how much it's gone downhill since TA bought it. Still, we had made good friends there, and when a 2 br opened up in December, we requested a transfer. We saw the apt twice, it didnt need major renovations and we assumed a February move in date. After no response or follow up we asked the director. Her response: On Monday, February 14, 2022, 03:29:54 PM CST, Kristel Lastine @heathersmanor.orgwrote: Are you aware of what the process is for apartment transfer? There is nowhere that states if a resident wants to transfer we must approve. So it is up to our discretion in the first place. My response: I was just going by the lease agreement. It basically says it's at tenant request and the fee is $1000. Other tenants confirmed that experience. Why was that process not followed? On Thursday, February 17, 2022, 01:33:02 PM CST, Kristel Lastine @heathersmanor.org wrote: I am aware of the lease wording. Yes, this was updated and changed per corporate for various reasons. The things we liked best about Heathers was the courtyard access and their indoor pool and spa. But the spa has only one working jet and is perpetually out of order. It's currently been out of order for over a month, and they may comsider it too costly to repair or replace. The pool is usually not properly heated and it's now closed evenings and weekends, the most popular times. There's a waiting list to get a garage. Some of them were destroyed by a fire and weren't rebuilt. Some of them flood during heavy rains or snow melts. They also transferred the director to another property without replacing her; stretching the Manor director to manage both properties. The Manor gets most of her time and attention. She schedules one monthly meeting to address Estate tenants' concerns but mire than once rescheduled because she had more important things to do. Concerns or questions directed to her from Estates residents are treated as an annoying intrusion rather than an opportunity to provide any customer service. My questions and concerns have either been ignored or rudely dismissed. We didn't consider Lang Nelson the first time, assuming that a church owned non-profit would provide the most compassionate care, but we found that a for-profit business who knows that full occupancy maximizes their revenue and focuses on retaining their tenants provides a much better experience. Update: after following Heathers move out instructions, including cleaning the closet door tracks with cloth covered knife or screwdriver, we arrived to early move in at Cedarwood to professional cleaning crew preparing our new apt. We were concerned about move out deadline of noon on 31st. Mind you, with 20 vacant apartments, On Thursday, February 24, 2022, 09:03:02 AM CST, Kristel Lastine On Thursday, February 24, 2022, 09:03:02 AM CST, Kristel Lastine @heathersmanor.orgwrote: Hi Deb - Per the lease if you extend to April 2 this would technically leave you responsible to pay through the whole month. Cedarwood said come early, no problem That pretty much embodies their different approaches to service. Ironically, if the director didn't dismiss our request to move to a two bedroom apt, we wouldnt have discovered the Lang Nelson experience. It's the single best thing we got from our Heather's experience.

They lie and tear families apart. The most horrific experience I have ever had! They should be shut down for the horrible, terrible things they did and the lies they made up. Thank God everyone realized and saw what they were doing and my mom is safe and out of there and I see her every single day. They purposely kept me from my mom. They are cruel, heartless, and I wonder how they sleep at night. There are a few nice staff, but most are 2-faced and lie. My mom is no longer being held hostage in their homes. I could give you graphic details and pictures but it's not worth it. They are not worth my time. Thank God everyone saw through the lies and got my mom out safely. Their doctor is worthless and doesn't have a clue how to do his job. Seriously, keep your loved one far away from this company. In the house my mom was in one resident died, then another one died shortly after, then my mom rushed to the ER. I started to fear something fishy was going on. The RN has zero personality and gives you zero confidence in her abilities. I could go on and on but I have said enough. Beware: If you report them to MDH or MAARC, the President will keep you from your family member. I am thankful for Ulissa, Ace, Ann, and Brooklyn. I certainly hope the 4 of you move on to a more reputable company and realize the terrible company you work for. It's a cult-like facility and actually scary. It's an absolute shit show. So glad my mom escaped their cult-like prison safely. They actually told me that Red Robin would be her home permanently. Then they pulled a stunt saying it would be shut down and moved her to the more expensive house to steal her money. The other house never shut down and the other 2 residents my mom lived with still live there. They wanted my mom's money. Thank you to the Guardian and the Ombudsman. You saw their true colors. My mom is free and safe and I get to love on her non-stop. The staff at her new facility are amazing and so understanding and loving. Night and Day Difference! Stay away please!

Instead of being…read moretreated for it, they let her suffer (and I do mean SUFFER) in agony, and when she was soiled, they wouldn't clean her up for hours. We asked for her to be bathed so her skin wouldn't be so irritated, but they only bathe residents once a week, no matter what. They placed her soiled clothing in garbage bags for family to take home to wash, and the stench in her room from the bagged up, infectious, laundry was over whelming. When we brought our concerns to the powers that be, we were told, in a nutshell, that if we didn't approve of how they did things, we could pack up our mom and leave. This wasn't a one-time event... the entire month she was there she was ignored, forced to eat (which made her vomit), the daily PT was was to receive was sporadic at best. This was our first experience with transitional housing (rehab) and did not know what to expect, but we sure expected better than what we got! We will NEVER use this place again!!! And.... two days after being released from this "care" facility, our mom was back in the hospital because the C-Diff was that bad. Their lack of care made our mother very, very sick. Zero out of five stars. Not recommended. Wish they could be closed down.... Or fined.

Over these 7 years I have enjoyed a variety of seniors that have enriched my life as well as I have enriched their lives. The office staff of Home Instead Senior Care Minneapolis and Western Suburbs is very receptive to the employees and families needs and matches the skill level of the CAREGiver with the loved one. The families that I work with are very happy with the service we provide and how I have cared for their mother and/or father. The care that I take with their parent(s) allows them to be the daughter or son to their parents and they do not have to worry about the care giving aspect. I have seen a relief from them after I have come into their lives; it is like a weight has been lifted from their lives. Many of the family members have said to me that I am an angel sent to them and they are very appreciative of all I do for their mother and/or father. As an employee of Home Instead Senior Care Minneapolis and Western Suburb, I feel valued and respected for what I provide to the families who request our service. The Home Instead Senior Care Minneapolis and Western Suburb offers a variety of classes for the CAREGivers, which ensures we are trained before we are sent to the home or facility of the person's loved one. There is a trained nurse on staff and when a need arises we can contact her and get immediate medical help. This gives the family a sense of security that when they accept me into their lives as the CAREGiver, they know that there is a solid staff of professionals involved with the care of their loved one(s). The families and seniors are assured that I will treat their loved one/them with the same loving care I would treat my grandmother, my mother or how I would want to be treated.
