Mankato Lodge Senior Living was an excellent place. They're very homey and very helpful in all aspects. The residents loved it there. The staff is very helpful and very pleasant. The food looked pretty good, too. With regards to amenities, everything they offered was good. I would say whatever they have should work for any elderly unless they're into water aerobics or stuff like that because they don't have that. They also have a courtyard and potted plants where they can grow vegetables. They have a gazebo. They have a lot of outdoor seating. They have rec rooms and exercise rooms. They have pretty much everything that should keep the seniors active and try to continue their health.

This is a review of the administration and the nurse. The other staff who actually work with residents are wonderful. However, soon after admission (and after they receive your money), the head administrator and head nurse treat residents disrespectfully. They will not listen to residents, family, or other professionals who work with the residents. They treat residents like children and will make biased assumptions about medical conditions. Apparently they have a crystal ball because they seem to think they know more than actual neurologists. Their rudeness makes residents afraid to ask for help. It is questionable that they follow MN state laws. Assessments are completed without listening to other professional staff and according to the whims of the nurse, therefore residents get charged for more than they need or are kicked out if that's what the administration wants. It's unfortunate because the food is good and the aides are very kind and helpful. If you are independent and don't have anything else to spend your money on, this is the place for you.

I toured Mankato Lodge Senior Living. The rooms were nice. The person that helped us was great. The dining area was open and spacious. One meal was provided with your rent. The place was really clean, well-kept, and very nice. I like it.

I did a tour of Mankato Lodge Senior Living yesterday. It looked very pleasant, neat, quiet, and clean. I didn't see any drawbacks with it anywhere. I met the activity director and also the lady that is in charge of the food. I found them both to be very pleasant and personable. All three people that I met were helpful, courteous, and polite. I found this facility to be very nice. They just remodeled not too long ago.

We toured Mankato Lodge Senior Living for ourselves. We liked the grounds there, it was nice and open. It was located up on the hilltop area. They're close to the main shopping area, so it's convenient. The 2-bedroom apartment we looked at was pretty large. They provided the meals for everybody, and we saw their dining room. It wasn't quite as opulent compared to other places, but it was nice. There seemed to be a lot of activities. A lot of the residents looked pretty involved in the activities. There were lots of people doing things when we walked around. The kitchen inside the apartment was functional. They had a microwave and a refrigerator. They had a garden outside, and they had nice raised beds for the residents' own gardening. The staff was really helpful. She had a dog with her who seems to be like the most popular guy in the whole facility.

I was very impressed with Mankato Lodge Senior Living. The room sizes were pretty good. There were multiple of them, and there were a couple that I thought would be adequate for what we were looking for. You could pick how many meals you'd like to attend a day. The lady made it very clear that even on weekends, there's always some sort of administrator on duty, which I thought was a good thing as well as nursing service if they needed it. It was just a little bit older than some of the places I looked at, but that's not necessarily a game-changer. They have all kinds of social activities and exercise-type activities. They were actually about to start a storytime event when we were there. The staff seemed great and I was impressed at the fact that a lot of the employees were there for a good length of time and that says something about the company that runs the place. It's good to have happy employees because then that carries over to the residents.

Mankato Lodge Senior Living is a very strong community. I went there about lunchtime and they were all going out to eat there. The room was full. The vast majority of them go and have a meal there and it seemed that people wanted to be with each other. The apartments were nice and bigger. They have a little kitchenette with a refrigerator, sink, countertop, and a few cabinets. There's a living area and a coat closet. The bathrooms are very large and very nice. They have a walk-in closet and there's lots of room in it with six-foot lengths of hanging area on one side and then on the other side. They have sitting areas that looked inviting with very pleasant decor, a salon, and a library that is well-stocked and well-kept. The grounds outside are manicured and look pretty with lots of grassy areas, shaded areas, and nice outside seating. They're currently working to move their fitness room into a larger and more open area so more people could come in and they could move around more easily. They have a lot of activities. If you are interested in staying involved and busy all day, you get a calendar of events. It's very packed. The only thing was the doors are open during business hours, so if there was a person with memory issues who was known to wander, I'm not sure that place would be a good fit for them.

We went to tour Mankato Lodge Senior Living. They showed us several apartments that can be used either for independent living or assisted living. They don't have wings that are just for one service or the other. A person could start out independently and then if they needed more assistance, they would be able to stay in the same apartment. We saw 1-bedroom apartments there. The woman who showed us around, Naomi, was very helpful and very knowledgeable. It seemed like a nice community. I thought it was a little bit confusing the way it was set up. Maneuvering the building seemed a little bit confusing. There's usually a meal plan where they had a pay so much a month and get three meals a day, and my mom would not utilize that. So we like the fact that at the Mankato Senior Lodge, she could get a meal plan of like one meal a day, two meals a day, or three meals a day. And that made it more economical for her. They showed us the menu and it seemed like a lot of good variety. They have a lot of activities, we saw some exercise, and they offer church services. One really nice thing is that they would take them on a bus one day a month to the grocery store, which would be helpful because my mother doesn't drive. And that was the only facility that mentioned something of that nature, that she could participate in that if she wanted. There was a patio in the back. I met the marketing person, she was very knowledgeable. She wanted to make a sale but that's their job. She tried to present different ways that we could work it out, so she was very helpful that way. She was kinda pushy but I know she was eager to get us to agree to go there. Some of the apartments in the other community were more attractive, and the other layout was more appealing to me.

I like Mankato Lodge Senior Living. The reason I like it is that they had raised garden plots and I love that. It was more of a cozy home setting. They have stoves and refrigerators in the apartments. They have a nice big courtyard where they have picnics and stuff in the summer. And if you have a bunch of family members that want to get together, you can go sit out there. The lady that took me on the tour was super nice. She knew all the residents' names. It was so cozy there. She showed me the menu that they were having yesterday for lunch. Then she sent me home with a menu that was going to be for this whole week and another thing where she had all the activities that were going on for the week so that I have an idea of what kind of activities they have and what kind of meal plans they have.

I went to see Mankato Lodge Senior Living. I believe I visited both assisted living and independent living. The staff toured the whole place with me and I was very impressed. They seemed very concerned about my mom, asking her lots of questions about what she would like for care, what kind of activities she would like, introduced her to the chef, and introduced her to some of the residents. I was all very well pleased with it. I thought they would be very good. The only room they had available was a studio-type apartment and my mom wanted something a little larger. They introduced me to the activity director. I was interested in some of the activities for exercise, and an exercise group for my mom to do a little bit of that. They also showed a very nice room on the second floor that had a little library and a place where you could do puzzles. I think there was a group of ladies that were there, and I believe they were playing cards or playing a game and they seemed to be enjoying themselves. One lady had a pet there, the pet was a very good little dog that kind of greeted everybody. All the residents there seemed pleased with all the things going on. I checked the menu and it looked very good. The residents were waiting in line for dinner and they said they were looking forward to that. They also said they serve them more than what they needed and they laughed about that.

Mankato Lodge Senior Living was a nice facility. The lady was very friendly and very helpful. Their rooms were a little smaller, but they were nice. They had meals, schedule of events, and activities for people to do. Some of the activities were for strength, agility, and balance training stuff (which was good).

We will choose it. It was very good, very friendly, and very home-like. They had cards, bingo, a reading club, and took trips to go out to eat and see plays.
