My Mother was at Amira for 4 years in the memory care unit. It was bad, and then it got worse…read more Every single time I went to visit, she was wet. Every single time! We even bought flow-through pads to use in addition to the depends, in case she was a "gusher". There were times she was wearing the depends and two flow through pads and was still soaking. FYI, that means she was sitting in 8 cups (1/2 gallon) of urine. I am just a dumb landscaper, but perhaps that explains the multiple UTI's that she had every year. She also had multiple falls (a result of dizziness from the UTI's) and a broken hip and later a broken femur. The best thing Almira ever did for us was kick Mom out, because it forced us to find another place for Mom. She spent the last 4 months at Breck Homes in Bloomington, where they made her feel useful and had so many outings that it was hard to visit her. Pretty is as pretty does, and Amira doesn't! If you are looking at memory care, visit here at meal time. Do these people look like they are enjoying themselves? Does the food look appetizing? Can they even hear each other, if they wanted to talk? Is there room to comfortably move around the tables with a wheelchair or walker? Yes, the fireplace is pretty. Is the room functional? Comfortable? Does the staff chit-chat with the residents, or do they just boss them around? Ask the employees you run into how long they have worked there, and ask if anyone has been there since the opening which is less than 6 years ago. There is only 1 who has been there the whole time, and she is the only one who knows how to get things done. Hint: it is Linda at the front desk. Raona

This place is the worst company I have ever had the misfortune of knowing. My grandma was treated…read morehorribly here. From the beginning it's been a headache! We would come visit her and she would smell like urine, she would have a dirty depends on for hours. She was barely washed with either a cloth or actual shower. She had 2 falls that didn't make sense, so we bought granny camera's, which were frequently turned off by staff until we told them it was illegal. Some of the staff did the bare minimum to get her ready for the day. She had 2 more falls which the staff was no where to be seen. She layed for 2 hours on the floor until they found her. Just when you think things couldn't get worse, it did. I sent flowers and a teddy bear to her one day and the teddy bear is no where to be found. My grandma contracted the Covid-19 virus here. She has since passed away. Unfortunately her death was not peaceful in any way. This company is absolutely horrible. The management is cowardly and quite literally pathetic. This company should be shut down. Our parents, grandparents, sisters, brothers and all other family deserve so much better. Please think twice before sending your loved ones here. I guarantee you, you will regret it, I do EVERYDAY. I wish she was still alive but at least she is no longer in pain .

An Apartment Review of SilverCreek on Main in Maple Grove MN ::…read more The furnaces in the 1 bedroom units are electric whereas the other units have a gas furnace. You are responsible for the electricity used for the furnace. I had Excel Energy come out to my unit and make the necessary corrections to my bill as electric furnaces (during the winter months) is discounted. This was never disclosed to us prior to the lease signing - we were told that All the utilities were included in the monthly rent - NOT True. The Property Manager (Amy) had refused the Excel employee access to the property - so I had him remove his badge and had him enter as my guest. When she found this out - she called Excel "Demanding" my account information - Excel refused as this would be a violation of The "Privacy Act" and a Crime - she was verbally aggressive and thank goodness that Excel recorded their conversation with her. Unbelievable !!! In January I did not receive a "Certificate Of Rent Paid". SCOM was claiming tax exemption) I investigated this with the city and county only to discover that no deed had ever been filed. It was still in the city of MG's name. This was addressed by 3 MN government offices including the Attorney General's Office as SCOM "Refused" to correct the "Intentional Inaccuracy" of my CRP. MG requires ALL rental communities to do background checks - SCOM was aware of this requirement and yet did not do so. This is a community that consists of "Senior Bullies" I personally experienced/endured senior bullying myself. The Intentional - Alienating, Ostracism and Isolating of individuals. Gossiping & Rumors. Bigotry. Discriminatory behaviors and actions toward individuals is displayed by staff (not all) and residents as well. I personally was "Intentionally" skipped over for a garage stahl by the leasing agent numerous times. I Most definitely would "NOT - NOT" advise my Worst of acquaintances to reside here‼ Corporate & Staff (FACTUAL) DID use "Intimidation Tactics" toward Seniors to silence those of us who voiced our concerns with threats of "eviction or termination of our lease agreement/s". SCOM termed it :: "Interferring With The Management Of The Property". I have saved All documentation as support of my statements made here. SCOM Management did NOT like the Fact that I possessed much knowledge about MN Tenant's Rights (Home Line Attorneys) - that because they were 2 months behind in work orders (Fact) - that I/We could go down to the Hennepin County Courthouse - file a complaint and then the County would hold our Rent Checks in an escrow account until the work orders had been completed. In addition :: dog feces have been left in the halls & sidewalks for walkers, wheelchairs, and scooters to role through - A Maple Grove "Health Code Violation"‼To address Christine's comment on YELP about a "Mutually Agreed Upon Resolution" :: NO Such Agreement Exists - I Never signed a Non-Disclosure Agreement‼ Corruption‼

My mother has been at Emerald Crest Mtka for over two years, and we are very happy with it…read more We love the layout! There are 12 bedrooms circling a large living room and dining room. I like that they have bedrooms, not apartments, which encourages residents to leave their bedroom and come out to where all the action is. And there are activities available seven days a week. Emerald Crest has three houses, each with different levels of dementia, which works really well. I wanted mom to be with other Seniors who have similar mental and physical capabilities as she does, so that she could make friends. It has worked out really well, and she has made friends. I remember walking her to a table for lunch one of the first days she was there. Her whole face lit up when she saw who she would be sitting with. She didn't know their names, but she knew that she liked them. Mom has gotten excellent nursing/health care at Emerald Crest. When mom moved in, she had infected diabetic ulcers on her feet and legs that we thought would kill her. She has gotten such good care at Emerald Crest that when these diabetic ulcers do occur, they are quickly treated before they can get worse. I feel that they are no longer a threat to her life. The staff at Emerald Crest has always quickly responded to our questions and concerns. Because I am confident about the quality of care my mother is getting, I don't worry about what is happening when I'm not there. I'm able to go on vacation, and even travel out of the country, knowing that my mother is being well cared for. I highly recommend the Minnetonka Emerald Crest.

My grandfather has been a resident at Emerald Crest of Minnetonka for 6 months now and I could not…read morebe more disappointed with the help and care of the nursing professionals. Sometimes left sleeping in bed till 3:00pm with his breathing mask off, not properly groomed and dressed for the day ahead, forgotten medication, no breakfast or lunch because of my grandfather's refusal to sit at the kitchen table and awake anywhere from 8:30pm-10:00pm when the agreed upon bedtime is 8:00pm, are all reasons why myself and numerous family members are now with my grandfather from the time he wakes up everyday to the time he goes to bed. Without our supervision, my grandfather would be left in bed and left unfed. I understand the professionals are not able to force a resident to eat. However, my grandfather needs to eat or he will wither away and die. A solution? Welcome him to the table and sit with him until he is done. Don't have the time to sit with him while he eats? Take the time I see you sitting on the couch not even engaged with the other residents, standing around talking to the other nurses and/or on your cell phone and put your time and energy toward the residents and make the $8,000/month we are paying you worth it. I and each one of my family members have gotten him to eat his entire meal by patiently sitting with him, scooping food onto his fork, handing him the fork where he then takes it himself to eat. It's one thing if he refuses to take one more bite. What is not acceptable is the lack of effort made by the nursing professionals to even get him to the table! Simply asking him will not do. He needs to be told it is time to come to the kitchen table for a meal. He needs to have food in front of him in order for him to eat it. It is not enough to ask him if he's in the mood for food. Again, he doesn't eat and he withers away and dies. Assisted living homes have a very bad reputation all across the world. Emerald Crest of Minnetonka is not doing a thing to change that. I expect great care for my grandfather. He and every other resident here deserve it. Be better, Emerald Creat of Minnetonka.
