The Wilder Foundation is is a nonprofit community organization that helps children, families and…read moreolder adults in the greater Saint Paul and East Metro area through direct service programs, research, leadership development and community building. I have not used any of their services but instead have been the beneficiary of attending several conferences hosted by the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits in this beautiful building. All meetings I've attended here have been held in their auditorium which has a large drop down projection screen with floor to ceiling windows in one half of the room that looks out onto a lovely courtyard. The room is well mic'd for sound and the most recent setup of the room was classroom for 64, with plenty of open space for more room for tables and chairs. They have a covered garage for parking which is a nice bonus.

Wilder offers a variety of family therapeutic services that are tremendously helpful. We've…read moregenerally found their staff to be quite compassionate and caring. The only negative I have with them is how they handle their invoicing. They are the only therapy provider that we've ever dealt with (and we've used many over the years) that does not provide date of service detail, nor an indication of whether they've billed insurance and if so how much the insurance covered on their invoice. The problem with this is that if you have an HSA, as we do, then you are actually supposed to keep that detail on hand in case you are audited. What this means is I have to go back and ask them for the detail every time they bill us. Other Dr.s offices give these details automatically. Wilder has at times.

Got clean and sober, graduated the program, and served at the food center. My actions after graduation in no way reflect on the House of Charitys program. I just wasn't ready. I had another one in me, as they say. So, I started using again and it wasn't three or four months later I was back in jail. Long story short, this go round I spent 5 years in federal prison. On the inside I deeply considered my follies, my age, and the fact that I was ready to get clean and stay that way. Ten years ago I had a relapse for a short time, nevertheless it was a relapse and now I'm ten years sober (again)! Through the grace of God, and good clean and sober friends, I'm on the right path. House of Charity was a good experience for me, and at that time in my life, I'm grateful for what they provided.

They have been seen AND HEARD by caring, knowledgeable, professional people who are taking the time to educate and help them deal with extremely personal sexualty issues. I do not know all the technical terms but I CAN tell you that after a 17 year battle with many other less sensitive healthcare professionals my child is now becoming happier, more confident, and a mentally healthier individual. My child's patner is also seen here because she has an extreme reaction to needles. Family Tree is the only resource (after 7 other facilities) to supply the accommodation necessary for her anxiety control so a blood draw could be accomplished. The clinic has gone beyond any normal standard of care. Lastly, when visiting, I appreciate the calm attitudes, the unique waiting room, and the educational materials available. It is a SAFE PLACE for all.

I was a chef there a few months ago and the idea of serving people and families in need was a honor…read morefor me but the management in the kitchen is not qualified to serve these types of clients/residents, and why I say this is because I have seen the quality of food that the so called managers were willing to feed the residents. They don't care about the residents in the building and they don't have skill or respect that they should have working for people that are at a disadvantage. That place new need and fresh ideas and management because the system they have is bias and shows favoritism to those who suck up to them and caters to their egos. Bias, racism and favoritism has no place in a organization like this. Oh yeah the "kitchen managers" don't know how to cook food properly and doesn't use gloves when preparing ready to eat meals!

I have heard of this place from a friend. I looked it up and called them right away. They told me the only thing I could do is serve meal for now, I said sure. I noticed the time frame they got were mostly booked by big corporation workers, like Target. Since most of the lunch and dinner were booked the only option was breakfast. Of course since I am an early bird, I signed up. I arrived pretty e-a-r-l-y. I had to get a cup of coffee so I could be ready to work. I arrived and there was a police officer sitting by the security.Yes, they check your ID to make sure you are legit and not to bring any thing harmful to the building. If you are a visitor or volunteer person, you filled in your name and reasons for the visit. I headed downstairs where the cafeteria located. The staff was very nice to me. They explained to me what I needed to do. I served oatmeal, coffee and juice. I had to wear an apron and a hair net which makes sense. I stayed a little longer to help out cleaning the tables and floor. I was there for a little over two hours. After that I went straight to work. I had a great time talking to people coming in for food. Most of them were family in need. I really appreciate a service like this helping the community in need. I hope everyone get a chance to do something like this. Who knows you might see me there...:) (Parking lot is small)

VEAP provides an incredibly necessary community service. I go to VEAP once a month to get food and…read morethey provide "an abundance of groceries" absolutely free. Fish fillets, ground beef, fruits, vegetables, grains, bread, canned foods, frozen foods, sauces, pastries, butter, even sometimes toilet paper, paper towels and napkins. I'm not sure how they've managed to grow to become such an inspirational and clearly imperative service to the community but having been here in Minnesota for more than 20 years may explain it in part. It also requires dedicated and responsible volunteers that work with a smile for everyone that comes through the door. I'd give VEAP 10 Stars or more if I could. We get between 15 and 30 full, well balanced meals for 2 people every month! As an aside, I don't believe any of VEAP's policies could be considered overreach and if you use VEAP and are amazed at what you get for free and feel that VEAP makes you feel deserving and proud, take the time to leave a review!

The nursing staff and aids are phenomenal! They always treat my parents with respect and positivity. The Physical and Occupational therapists are on site. They have done an awesome job helping my mom rehab from a broken leg. They are also helping my dad build back strength he's lost from cancer treatments.

The staff are…read morepassive-aggressive and unprofessional, attempt to manipulate residents and visiting family members, and were woefully unqualified to manage the progressive needs of someone with memory loss. Not only were they neglectful, but they inflicted physical and lasting harm to one of my loved ones. These experiences are from 2018-2019, and I hope in the year since this facility has overhauled their practices to meet the bare minimum of care for their residents. I still harbor enormous resentment and anger towards the "caregivers" and hope current residents are in better hands. This facility was a blight on the last years of my loved one's lives. Don't trust your family members to be safe, respected, or cared for at Epiphany.
