Benedictine

I couldn't speak higher of the facility and staff at Benedictine in La Crosse. I felt I was truly cared for and my needs were always met. There were several staff members who went above and beyond for my care.

We have been extremely satisfied with the entire experience. What sticks out the most would be the staff. They are friendly, kind to all of the residents and my sister really likes them! I would definitely recommend Benedictine Living Community Regina to others.

It has been an extremely positive experience. [name removed] at VSB did a fantastic job of coordinating all aspects of the move from the room updates, required forms/shots and moving day. My Dad feels very welcomed at his new home. The other tenants are very friendly and went out of their way to help my dad feel welcomed. I could go on but suffice it to say there was no negative aspect of my dad moving to VSB.The fact that it has dependent living and memory care units is a huge plus. If my dad ever needs more help he does not have to leave VSB. Also, the bar open every day from 4 to 6 is a great way to mingle with the other tenants.

The staff at Benedictine Windermere Way is friendly and helpful to the patient and their family members. And the environment is quiet, clean, and comfortable.

The food is fantastic and everyone is so nice and welcoming at this facility. The staff is very flexible and helpful. We're very happy at Benedictine Living Community St Joseph. My loved one loves the food!

What we really like about this community is that they all treated us so very well. Everyone extended themselves in every way to help my mother-in-law. They were so very flexible in riding to our needs.

Compassionate, helpful & caring staff who treat residents as family, friendly residents, fun activities. My dad enjoyed his stay at his spacious apartment, delicious meals, exercise class, Bingo, parties/celebrations, summer pontoon rides…

The building and apartments are beautiful, the food is excellent, and the staff is terrific. We have been very impressed. Cost seems the same as other Independent Living. but the apartments and ambiance is so much better.

[name removed] did a virtual tour for us because we do not live in MN, she was happy to answer our questions and she introduced us to the head of nursing who asked questions about my sister, after learning about her and how independent she has been all her life he recommended independent living versus constant care and they would aid her as needed. They were so concerned for her independence. Benedictine is a beautiful and clean facility. The entire staff have been so warm and welcoming. My sister needed a lot of assistance at first and they were prompt, gentle and kind. She has fallen and aids were there promptly to help. The food is very good and if something is not to a residence liking they offer alternatives. The kitchen staff is wonderful. They have projects and activities for the residents and they allow residents to suggest projects. I did my research and Benedictine is without a doubt the best value out there.

This is a great community. It is wonderful place to have your loved one go to. The staff are so good with my loved one. I absolutely love Benedictine Living Community. The staff were able to assist my loved one in getting acclimated to the community and their new living arrangements. The head nurse was able to be a sounding board for the family when we needed it, and gave great suggestions to us as well. The meals are great! The staff are willing to accommodate requests made by the resident. There are movies, bingo, cards, and more for the residents to participate in for activities. The community is willing to work with the family and our loved one on things my loved one needs medically.

We dislike the one front desk staff during the day. I just found most everyone to be friendly, it's a smaller environment which was nice. I had lunch there in the dining room and the staff were excellent.

We chose Benedictine Living Community because it was the closest to us and she was able to age in place and stay in memory care. It is a nice and clean environment. Another reason we chose this facility was because if/when your loved one runs out of money, they do accept elderly waiver here. I would definitely recommend them to others looking.

[name removed] was very kind to my mother. Highly recommend it.

This is a smaller community, but they are very friendly. Generally the staff are very nice and provide good care. I wish there were more staff working, like at a lot of companies today. The staff communication with the family have been very good, and they are receptive to the family's questions and concerns. Medication management, bathing, hygiene, and more are some of the care the community is able to provide. The room, utilities, changing of linens, housekeeping, and laundry are included in the monthly rate. They have menu that residents can order off of , and the food is very good. The community has a public restaurant that city members will come and eat at as well.

The staff have been super friendly and helpful, which was a pleasant surprise. It's a little community, so that has its advantages. It's personal and all that. However, that can have its disadvantages as well. For instance, if the person who does the maintenance is sick that day, it doesn't get done until the next day. But it's been a good experience overall. My loved one actually really likes the food. And she likes it there in general. It has been really good for.

River Oaks was awesome, we loved it! All of the staff including the chef came out and introduced themselves. The meals are amazing and everyone raves about the food. The only reason we did not choose this facility was because the studio was a little smaller and did not get as much natural light. But other than that it is a great choice and I would recommend to check them out.

We chose River Oaks because my brother is a Korean war vet and they had a lot of vets here, it seemed to be a smaller facility, and the people that we met with were very friendly and helpful. The staff members really seem to care about their residents and they seem to be very on top of things. It has been a good experience so far and I know that everyone here is trying their best in these hard times. I would recommend to others looking.

Some of the staff use English as a second language and it can be hard to understand them. The community was very homey and very nice. You felt at home in this community. Communication was good between the staff and the family. I would recommend this community to others.

My father and sister have both been to Nazareth. I cannot thank them enough for their compassion and care. [name removed] in admissions went over and above in helping us deal with the financial end and [name removed] the social worker went over and above in her care and attention to empathetic detail.

My mother has been living at the facility for a year now, and she loves it. She is in the smallest apartment available, but it is more than adequate for her. It has a large living room, bedroom with walk-in closet, full kitchen with range/oven, full size fridge, dishwasher and microwave, and a bathroom. There is also a stackable washer/dryer. The staff is very attentive. The nurse noticed that that she was not taking her medications at the right time, and informed me right away. They also alert me when she need additional medication. The staff is very polite and they communicate well. The activities are setup like a cruise ship; there are lots of things to do with others if you like social events, but you can stay in your room if you'd like. In addition to weekly trips to the grocery / drug stores, there are also special events like concerts at North Central College, a movie on site every Sunday in the Great room, and Wii Bowling tournaments. In December, the residents took a bus into downtown Chicago for lunch in the Walnut Room at Macy's and a Christmas concert right after. The food is varied and tastes good. Residents can choose from a Deli/Cafe, Bar/Lounge, or formal sit-down restaurant foe their meal choices, and meals are included in the monthly fee. The campus is great for walking, especially once the weather warms up. There are walking paths with benches, so it's easy to get some exercise or find an isolated spot to read a book. There are gazebos outside the restaurant so dining al fresco is an option. All in all, it's a good fit for mom. She has plenty of opportunities for interaction and she is enjoying her time there.
