White Pine Assisted Living and Memory care: Excellent!

White Pine Assisted Living had the requirements needed for my husband who has Alzheimer's: end of life care/hospice; and secure memory care. The first time I walked into White Pine, it smelled like Christmas! Everything was clean everywhere I went. My husband moved into his room and immediately liked the activities, the food, and the caregivers. He has more needs now with his Alzheimer's - his extra needs are being met by the caregivers at White Pine at no extra cost! One fee covers all his needs, his meals and activities. White Pine is well arranged with comfortable furniture, porches, patio, and lots of windows. White Pine is a smaller facility with a total of 44 residents. The house manager is available and friendly to help out with questions. White Pine is just what I was looking for.

Average

Good. Servers are good. Grounds well kept. Clean. I want to like majority of food. It is horrible and I would not say that earlier because I didn't want to ruin someone's employment. it is really truly below average.

Worst place

Worst place to send a family member. Staff truly doesn’t care about the residents. Food is absolutely horrible and plain, no flavor at all my grandmother hates it. Will definitely be looking for a new place for here where staff is attentive and actually cares about the residents, not just waiting on them to pass.

All aboutMoney

Not a good place! Don't send your loved one to white pine anywhere! Management is horrible at communicating and do anything to make a buck! It's all money driven and not at all resident centered. The clinical staff (nurses and aides) are caring but completely over worked, under paid and management gives them very little support! They aren't about the person, just out to make money!

Care and options

We toured this community for care. We did not like the layout of the community. The other residents were not active and we wanted a community where the staff was involved with the residents more than what we saw on the tour. The staff were nice and were able to answer the questions we had. I would suggest that families tour this community for the care of a family member for care

Comfortable bedroom!!

My cousin has been in this community for a short time now and she mostly enjoys relaxing in her apartment and coloring. We had a few issues with the staff at first with there not being enough caregivers through the night time. She also has not been to thrilled with the meals they serve, they defiantly could use some improvements. She keeps to herself a lot and i just wish the staff would encourage her more to get involved in activities.

Too small....

White Pine Senior Living was nice but the building was too small for my mother. We felt she would do better in a larger community. I would recommend them to families for care on a smaller scale.

Good Place

The tours were very good and everything and so was meeting everyone there at White Pine. I just wish that they would introduce themselves when they answer the phone whenever I call the place after hours.

they are great!

We have had a very positive experience with White Pine Senior Living and highly recommend them. They do really well at everything, all the way from administrative to the care. Their communication with the family is very good. They proactively keep us informed. They do a great job with their activities. Everything about it is great. They manage the place quite well.

They are very helpful, and the activities are nice .

This is still kind of new. So far she doesn't have any complaints. They are very helpful, and the activities are nice and they keep them busy. So far everything is good, it's just a difficult transition to make.

Small, clean, friendly

I was looking for a place to move my mother where she could get more help than any of the assisted living places I had found were will to provide, but something short of a full skilled nursing facility. White Pines Senior Living was the answer. They're willing to give my mother help with bathing, dressing, getting to and from meals, laundry, housekeeping, ...,nearly everything at a flat rate (no ala carte adding of charges for each needed service). The staff has been friendly and attentive. At this point, I'm very happy with this choice.

I am very impressed with them.

I am very impressed with them. We have eaten there once, I thought the food was very good. I haven't heard any complaints about anything. It was just such a nice warm place when we walked in, that is why we chose them, everyone is just so friendly. They also had availability, when we needed it.

Very caring and kind staff

Although my loved one was unfortunately here for only a short time, they really made a positive impression on us. They were always right there to help us in a tough situation. The director, Melinda, was wonderful to work with, and really went out of her way to do what she could for us.

The Staff is very friendly, and very, very receptive.

The Staff is very friendly, and very, very receptive. The activities that they provide, seem to be pretty well attended. They have an activities coordinator that is just out of this world and everyone of the staff are very good about dealing with the residents. The staff is very good about attending to her needs and very receptive of questions. They have been very good about calming down her anxiety levels. I have never seen anybody mistreat a resident, and they have a wide variety of resident care levels. Everything is included in the monthly price, you don't have to worry month to month about the price fluctuating. It is the only place that we found that is like that. They are very good about letting me know if she is going to run out of something so I can replace it. The nursing staff is very good. The only thing is that the White Pines in White Bear uses Bluestone Physicians out of stillwater, they are very good about communicating with us, but if she has tests run, we would like to see them posted instead of having to bother the nursing staff to pull the book to see the results. The only other thing is that they only bathe once a week unless we request more. She has never complained about the food, they do offer a pretty good variety and they eat their bigger meal at noon and then something small at dinner time. White Pine does an awesome job of managing the facility and providing activities. They do show a lot of concern and care about their residents. My first impression was that when I walked in it was very welcoming, along with the house manager being welcoming, and she answered our questions, and took us on a tour. A lot of the residents, even though it's their space, they keep their doors open, and the rooms are very warm and welcoming. It is a small community, there are only 40 something residents, so it's manageable.

It was time

We have been pleased with the staff and helpfulness of White Pine Senior Living, White Bear Lake. It's never easy making the decision to move a parent. However, the concern and involvement of the staff have made the move easier. The first night I left mom, was the worst. Everyone was so helpful for mom and her needs, as well as, reassuring that if we needed to talk to anyone about mom or our concerns, they would be available 24/7 to check on her or talk to us. It made leaving a little easier, as I knew mom was in good hands. My mom enjoys all the daily activities and seems to be doing better. On a recent trip out of town, it was reassuring to call the staff, when I wasn't able to contact mom in her room. They assured me that she was fine and was involved in one of the daily activities. Just knowing that you can contact someone who has seen and talked to your family member recently gives tremendous peace of mind.

We did tour this facility, but felt that it was too dark with all of the dark wood. Also, the apartment was very small and we didn't get the feeling of hominess and joy that we felt at Keystone of Roseville.
