We toured Thorne Crest Senior Living Community. Everyone was very friendly and helpful, and it was just a beautiful place. The staff was very nice and took the time to answer questions. They have a fitness room, a pool, and a little library.

The first time I walked into ThornCrest I was amazed ! It was exceptionally clean and beautiful. While visiting my aunt I observed how respectful the staff was and how genuine they were in their care. Her apartment is very nice with updated features My aunt enjoys living at ThornCrest and partakes in all the many activities they offer. Albert Lea is lucky to have such a great Senior Living Community!

Thorne Crest was fine, and the rooms were fine. They do have activities. I do think the facility is secure enough.

Thornecrest Retirement Community provides assisted living and also semi independent living facilities. I think that the overall appearance of the building is neat and the assisted living area was clean. The food is good with choices varying daily. I thought that the apartments were above average in comparison to others in town for retired people/ elderly. I would recommend this care facility to anyone inquiring.
