My mother and father have lived here for many years. The care has significantly declined as they…read morehave required more assistance over the years. If you just need a roof over your loved one's head, this place will do. But if your loved one requires any level of care, look elsewhere. The management and nurses don't train the staff on how to safely transition residents from a wheelchair to their recliner or bed. I have witnessed countless instances where my father's safety and comfort were compromised during a transfer. The aids do the bare minimum. They will bring my father food and occasionally change his brief but as I've witnessed, their interactions with him are brief and unfriendly. Yelling "move your foot" to a man with no no sensation in his limbs and limited motor control over his legs is ridiculous and hurtful. They employed one aid who was caring, compassionate, and engaged with my father. But she left the facility and now he is left with the aids who are just going through the bare motions to keep their jobs. I am attaching a picture of my father's toothbrush. It is absolutely disgusting and dirty. I found it this weekend and couldn't believe my eyes. I brought it to the aids' attention and they blew me off saying, brushing teeth isn't part of their job and that it was the Night Shift who do that. Deflecting blame and providing insufficient care is the name of the game there. Do NOT place your family there.

My grandma lived here in the memory care unit for several months after being discharged from the…read morehospital. While of course there are some wonderful, hard-working people here that I appreciate so much, for the most part, my grandma was neglected and did not receive the care or treatment she deserves, especially considering the fact that we paid over $6000 per month for her to live there. I understand being short-staffed and overworked, I am a social worker... However, the way I saw some of the workers treat my grandma was unacceptable. Additionally, they did not provide many of the services that we were paying for them to provide. My grandma was lucky if she got her clothes changed once a week, they rarely did activities with the residents, and they told her "they could not help her" when she asked them to help her dial the phone to make a phone call or turn the TV on, etc. They would say things like "you better eat your meal now because you will not get anything later," and overall were just mean.

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 .

I told her to hold on and that I would run into what I assumed was where she was living which was St Therese in Brooklyn Park. I told the two ladies at the front that one of their residents had falling and had a gash on her head. There was no sense of urgency and the fat one just sat there and the other one came to the door and just stood in the doorway. I went and got the lady that had fallen who by now was walking up the sidewalk. I don't even work there and I was more compassionate than the two ladies at the front desk who did absolutely nothing. I'm hoping this residents family is reading this. Get your family member out of there because they don't care. OAN: I did use to work at this place and it was horrible! I quit due to some things I witnessed and was not comfortable with.
