Lilac Homes Enhanced Assisted Living Memory Care

Mom is currently at Lilac Homes Enhanced Assisted Living Memory Care. It's a homey environment with caring and attentive staff. Their food is fine. They have a patio and community areas, but it's a smaller facility. For the activities, there's usually bingo and things like that going on, but maybe a little more variety would be good. Mom's getting a little sick of bingo. The small atmosphere was appealing to us, and the owners take a real active role in the residents.

The feeling of family is strong here; they are literally taking in their residents as family and welcoming their patient’s extended family as their own as well. When you come into the main room and see the familiar faces that are content because they are in their safe place it brings a sense of them being at home

The rooms were a nice size and very comfortable. Could bring in their personal items as needed or wanted. Lighting was good and always kept clean . Nice large bathroom as well. Staff went above and beyond for the patient as well as family members. If we were there over a meal time we were always offered food. What I ate was always good. My sister thought food was good.

My name is Jim Ellingson. About five years ago I was contacted by the Social Security office of Fargo North Dakota. A Social Security officer asked if I would become a payee representative for Social Security. I agreed. The person I support lived on his own in his home for a few years. One day he experienced a serious fall, he was hospitalized and then spend 2 months in a rehabilitation facility. It became time for us to find another facility that offered memory care. So, I called friends whose loved-ones are or had been in memory care. After four such calls, one of the persons I contacted was so positive about his mother’s care and guidance at Lilac Homes of Dilworth, Minnesota. We went there to interview and felt this facility was a great match for this person I was assisting. Here are a few reasons; I observed the appearance of the facility was clean, the residents appeared well taken care of, the staff was kind and caring to the residents. We were provided a very specific booklet outlining the cares and frequency of cares that would be provided weekly. Examples for this person’s needs include care for his sore knees, help with toileting, personal care, help with ambulation, reminders related to his memory needs and very importantly the encouragement he receives daily to participate in the many varied activities offered to him. I have observed the care that he is receiving is not only caring but is in a safe environment. Each of these examples are essential to his daily personal well-being. Recently we were invited along with other friends and relatives to partake in a spaghetti dinner with all residents. It was a joyful experience to get to know other residents and their friends and relatives. I thank my neighbor frequently for his strong recommendation of Lilac Homes. Sincerely, James Ellingson

My mother with dementia was there for over 2 years. The staff and Gina were wonderful with her. They have all sorts of activities and church every Sunday. I believe it was a Godsend for our family. If you are looking for a truly caring facility, Lilac is the place.

My father was at Lilac Homes for 1 year and 1 day. 1 was there 99% of his time every single day. Food was amazing, staff was amazing and very attentive to every single need of his. I've referred several people to their facility. Couldn't have taken care of him alone. They were soooo kind.
