SilverCrest Properties, LLC

I was not sure it was a facility for me at this point. I am still fully able to take care of myself and my pet. Drive my car for errands and dining out. If in the future I am not able, I will consider your facility. At this point I am not ready to smile and die. I have a class reunion coming up later in the month in SD and I have just had a nephew from WA STATE visit for a few days. Basically my life continues well until the above are no longer possible.

Nice apartments and community areas. There is a therapy pool here, which is nice. The back green area is nice, but small. However, if you move into independent living, you would need to move to another room when you need assisted living.

Very quick to respond to requests if something needs attention. Other residents go out of their way to be helpful. Very close to groceries and pharmacy. Seems like everyone there is happy. They could maybe have a few more options for activities. They don't have a lot of space for some things. So overall they do good with what they have.

Admin staff is helpful, and easy to work with when solutions need to be found. Maintenance calls are billed, and expensive, and haphazard in quality (like hanging pictures) so find an outside vendor to put up pics or drapery rods. 1st - dinner hours are 4:30 to 5:30, which is too early. Mom doesn't like to go at 5, because she says by then staff is inattentive and trying to wrap things up. Ford itself is a matter of personal preference- but mom doesn't have an adventurous palate -- doesn't like ethnic food ( or spicy food). Some nights are buffet only, all themed food, which is, more times than not, ethnic or spicy, with no alternative offered. Level of activities and variety of activities is great, and good gym facilities. There's a nice pool butb waterv temp could be higher for older people to enjoy.

My loved one is very pleased with the care provided by the facility. It has made living 1500 miles away from here a lot less stressful. Happy to recommend Esplanade Gardens to care for an aging parent.

. Food service is slow but the food is good. Everything else is excellent. Located near many good resources. Our two-bedroom apt feels open and spacious. Traffic nearby can be noisy. Nice clean laundry room and many activities available. Nice entertainment activities. I hear waiting list is 6 months. I highly recommend this place. One other caveat is that the Hennepin medical Center and Pharmacy is attached to the building and resident/patients have a key to enter without going outdoors. There is also an exercise facility with staff in this place.

Vision impaired residents will struggle unless they pay for constant help. The front desk staff can be wonderful or rude, depending on who you get. Accounts payable is a mess. When a resident falls, the protocol is nonexistent, especially during meal time because they are busy escorting people down. Daily checks are completely hands off and are simply in place to make sure you are still breathing. They won't even bring you a sweater or pick your hearing aid up off the floor for you when asked.

So far on a hole it’s not bad. It’s actually very very nice very comfortable very clean. I can’t say that they were totally truthful with everything. They told us to begin with and then again it was such a whirlwind experience. I’m not gonna totally blame them. it’s still a little early to tell, but so far I think I like it.

I would recommend them, but assisted living gets very expensive very quickly. The apartments were nice, they had good activities and it was close to family

Always tour facilities. Not all fit all. For me, this was the best possible choice. I understand everyone has different needs. I am happy with choosing Esplanade Gardens. I toured many many facilities.

My mother in law really enjoys the activities. We would recommend this community to other families based on the experience we have had so far.

My parents are taking full advantage of the best features of Village Shores, the staff and activities. This is a community that actually STAFFS its advertised services. It effectively encourages its residents to exercise, get out, and get together.

What we like the most about the community is mainly the staff. The maintenance man could be a little more patient I think but everyone else is great. We would recommend this community to other families based on the experience we have had so far.

Village Shores feels like a friendly community with residents watching out for each other. Staff are also friendly but has a large turnover. There have been some issues with management level turnover for the past several months but hopefully that will settle down soon. The dining room even switched management and there have been some problems with short staff, no food and long wait times. Overall my dad loves this place! I just think that pricing for any good care facility is rather high. If my siblings weren't helping with the cost, my dad could not afford so nice a place. Very sad.

The main reason I chose Summit Place Senior Campus was because of the pool that they have. As far as the food goes, the meat that they serve is dry, the rice has nothing on it, and a lot of times the food is cold when it is served.

Environment, staff and food are all great! Onboarding was bumpy, and like any place, lots of kinks to work out in the first few months. Chose the facility for its location, price and availability of the room.

I am currently a resident at Village Shores and most everything has been very good for me here. My family, who helped me move in ,said that everyone they met was very welcoming. The staff is especially good. The administration is great. The exercise opportunities and social activities are excellent. I would definitely recommend Village Shores to others.

Village Shores has a broad selection of activities for residents of all stripes and the food is very good. Unfortunately, if your senior needs a lot of care, Village Shores is not for you. The Assisted Living services are limited and expensive. There is no buddy system or friend for hire on staff to sit with lonely, failing seniors. My mother is mostly blind, and there were no accommodations for that. The medical team is extremely limited in helping people who require care. If your senior falls in the lobby, no one is allowed to touch that person except a member of the medical team, and they may be otherwise engaged. The person on the floor has to wait. The assisted living daily check-in is just that and nothing more. They cannot chat with your senior, or bring something from one room to another without charging a fee. The accounting dept did not charge the correct monthly payment once during the five months our mother lived there. VS is great for healthy seniors.

Friendly and helpful staff, beautiful facility, and plenty of activities. I would recommend Silver Creek on Main to others.

They charge for nursing care as it is used so this saves you money if you don't use it but it gets expensive quickly if you do. They aren't flexible on their meal plan. It is 3 meals a day or ala cart. They charge the same if you only order a half meal, but they do let you take any leftovers. It is free if you bring your own container, there is a fee if they give you a container. The staff was very nice and friendly. The facility was clean and didn't smell. It was small with less than 100 residents max. They do activities that include both assisted living and memory care residents.
