The 10 Best Memory Care Facilities in Dakota County, MN for 2025

I toured Ecumen Seasons at Maplewood. It has a continuum of care, in other words, if I can manage it in independent living, I can and if I need more help, I can add more services. So, it's not either or. It's more flexible in terms of what services I...

We chose Southern Oaks Place for our parents because it's a smaller community, which makes it easier for my dad to walk to dinners or to get meals. The other ones were huge. He has a little bit of a problem walking, so this is more intimate. It's ver...

I toured Gable Pines. They can't take my wife because she is non-ambulatory. It's a fine place and the staff was very helpful. I didn't look at a room because we didn't get that far when they found out what kind of care my wife would need, but that's...

We toured Sunrise of Roseville. There were 45 or 50 people there for assisted living, and everybody was happy. The apartments were very nice, including the one on the ground floor and the back overlooking some parkland and stuff. It has a very nice t...

Abiitan Mill City is my favorite. If I wanted to stay in Minneapolis, I would move there. It is located near the river. The streets are lined with trees. There are lots of good restaurants within walking distance. The Guthrie Theater is within walkin...

Rooms vary from studio to 2 bedrooms. They are nice. There are some newly renovated rooms too. The staff at Roitenberg are wonderful. There are a variety of activities and outings. The aides are very warm and caring. There are nurses available....

My parents moved into Brookdale North Oaks about a month ago. The staff is great. They're good with the patients, the residents. They understand how to deal with people with memory issues. And, the food is a big deal. When I vetted a senior living, I...

My friend has moved into Brookdale Eden Prairie. The thing I liked about it was that even though it was on a holiday when we first walked in there, we were able to view this. It was also a very short-staffed day, but the staff members (except the per...

I toured Brookdale West St. Paul. I liked the fact that the staff were very friendly and very helpful in explaining the details about the facility. It was a great place, but it's not affordable, and that's my stumbling block. Overall, it was nice. Th...

We toured Brookdale Edina. The person sitting at the front desk had been there 15 years, which we thought was a positive thing. There were other people that made indications that the staff there had longevity, which meant it was a positive place to w...

Ecumen Centennial House had a nice atmosphere. There was a nice sense of calmness, and the residents seemed well at ease at their places. The staff said hi to them even though she was on a tour with me. It was a neat experience. Every resident was ad...

We really liked The Alton. It's a small community and it's really simple. The area where you get together is kind of in the middle so I liked that. You don't have to walk from one end to the other just to get to a community area. You can get out and ...

My mother lived in the memory care unit at Sunrise of Minnetonka from 2016 until she passed away in 2023. The staff gave her absolutely wonderful care that entire time. My mother had dementia, but also another diagnosis that made placement difficul...

I went to Ecumen Seasons at Apple Valley. The place had a very welcoming atmosphere from the time I walked in and every time I contacted them and went back subsequently. Since my mom lives in Florida, I had to take pictures to bring down to her and s...
