They truly care about the residents

They truly care and they respond to the residents promptly. The medical staff is great as well. The Benedictine in Anoka, where my sister resides, has recently been redecorating to keep the surroundings pleasant for the residents. My sister is very happy living there.

Experience so far

The staff is not consistent with care from person to person... great concept for care suites but no options for meals. It's all or nothing for price when my loved one eats very little food. We have worked a lot with them and getting needs addressed.

Benedictine was a soft place for us to land.

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.

Our Families Experience

[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.

Highly Recommended

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.

Would highly recommend

We decided on River Oaks because the value for the money was much better than where she was at previously. The locaiton is also very nice and all the staff are super friendly. The staff do seem to really care. They do have a lot of activities offered for the residents although my mom does not always participate. If you get the meals delivered to the rooms it is an extra $5 charge. The facility did just get bought out by another company and they are planning on remodeling in the main lobby area. Overall we are very pleased with the experience and would recommend River Oaks to others looking.

The staff that work with the residents on a day to day basis are very good. There are a lot of hidden costs that you do not know about up front. It is turning out to be a lot more expensive than we thought it would be after moving in. Everything is an add on, so there is not a clear fee scale.

Great Assisted Living Community at River Oaks

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.

Tour of River Oaks

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.

I am so glad I picked River Oaks

The reason River Oaks got a overall score of 4 is because of the billing department. Things are not very transparent, and the charges are confusing so that has been tough dealing with. However the communication smells and looks clean. Our dad really things the people there are being very nice and treating him well.

I would recommend

We chose River Oaks of Anoka because they have a really nice view out of their big windows in the 2 bedroom apartment that was available when we needed it. The 2 bedroom they have is very nice and spacious. I think it is a very positive environment and I would recommend them to others looking.

Good experience

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.

its like coming home

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.

Great Place

They are very friendly and caring. They care about the residents. My husband has had a stroke and I am his main caregiver. They have gone out of their way to see that I as a caregiver for my husband get time to do the things that I need to do as well as fun things by arranging for him to activities while I was gone. It makes me feel comfortable and welcome. The food is great and they listen to suggestions. The staff is great. Even the new Executive Director helped me unload my husbands wheelchair and transfer my husband out of the car.

Mom was very pleased with River Oaks of Anoka. We put down a deposit and started the paperwork after we toured. The apartment is lovely with many windows for a lot of natural light to shine in. We are looking forward to have mom move in as soon as we can. The staff is fantastic and the food is home made every day. Thank you [Name removed] for all your help in finding River Oaks for us!

Looking very forward to visiting tomorrow or very soon.Especially optimistic that a handicap room is available with the "heavy lift" and assist we need. Also, they provide transportation to appointments, etc. that will be extremely helpful. If all goes as hoped...

A great community for care .

I am very happy with the care that is given to my mom in this community. The staff are always helpful and caring to my mom's needs. We like knowing that the community is clean and she is happy with the menu of the meals. They have my mom active with the list of activities. We would recommend the care at this community for other families.
