Look Elsewhere

After the newness wore off, my mother has complained of significant internet issues, bad food in the dining facility, limited activities, mismanaged staff, and we've encountered rudeness with the front desk woman ([name removed] or [name removed]) on more than on occasion. She doesn't greet visitors, is on her phone at times, and doesn't even smile. As the first impression of the building that needs work! Additionally, the director needs to take a higher altitude view of the building and the residents happiness to make improvements or we will have to consider other places for our mom to live.

Review for Elk River Senior Living

I have a nice apt. Thinking all places like this have some things that don't work so well but other than the expense, the turn over of aides, in MC, Assisted Living, I find this a pretty good place. I would give it a 7 out of 10. The 3 nurses are rigid in MC and Assisted. Didn't always work well with this family after the newness wore off.

My family and loved one have had a good experience with Elk River Senior Living. We would encourage you to ask lots of questions about private pay, what all is included in the monthly fee, what type of meal plans are offered, and what type of activities are offered. The biggest recommendation is to ask any and all of your questions to make sure this is the right community for your loved one.

Very Welcoming Community

The first thing I noticed on the day we moved her in was that people already knew her name. They make a point of telling their employees when new people are coming, and they make them feel very welcome, which I really appreciated. It made my loved one feel so much more comfortable. Overall we've been very happy with everything, including the care. Right now she has minimal care needs, but they've done really well. And they are very responsive to requests.

Mom is very happy

My mom is very happy here at Elk River. We got her right in here - everything happened very fast and the staff were super accommodating and helpful throughout that whole process. I would highly recommend the facility to others looking. I can't even get her to come stay with me because she is so content.

Some Challenges, But They're Doing Their Best

There are issues in running memory care. They're very short-staffed, and things that are in the contract are not done without you requesting them. The RNs are more approachable now than when we first moved in. And they do what they can. There's only three of them, and this place is huge. The aides are wonderful and do their best. But again, they're short-staffed. We have a wonderful activities director, and she does a good job getting my husband out of his room. And once he gets out there, he has fun. There are some issues with his hearing that I have had to go over and over again with them, but they seem to be understanding better now. They do have cable TV through Spectrum, but it's an odd set-up which is difficult for older people to navigate. Memory care is not always the cleanest. But we enjoy the community, overall, and the apartments are nice.

Fits My Needs

I love it here. The people are friendly and easy to get acquainted with. It's nice to be around people my own age going through the same things I am. And I love my apartment. It fits me and my needs perfectly at this stage in my life.

Tour experience

Our tour experience with Elk River was wonderful and the staff were just amazing through the whole thing. It ended up not being the right fit for us, but it all just depends on what you are looking for for your loved ones and the distances that you are willing to travel to visit them.

I'm an unhappy camper

At one point the hallways hadn't been cleaned in over 4 months. The hallways needed painting for over 9 months. The painting never seems to get finished. There's a deck on 2nd floor that has needed repair for over 2 years. There is a screen porch that hasn't had a door in over 2 years. There are only 2 pieces of exercise equipment in fitness room, one had needed repair for over a year. There are no tread mills or other equipment. There are other issues too.

Great Experience

Due to the pandemic outbreak at the community the food is being sent to the residents rooms currently. The community has great activities available for the residents. The activities director tries to implement new activities from the residents. The staff are available to speak to family if we have questions or concerns.
