Gladys and Pat's Story

Before choosing Emerald Crest, I was struggling. I have lupus, and doctors have advised me that stress will cause flare-ups. Working part-time, dealing with my own health issues and trying to take care of my mom meant I had a lot of stress in my life. That was especially true because my mom’s needs were increasing faster than I could keep up with them.

I realized that my mother needed memory care in a secure, safe setting and chose Emerald Crest because the small, homey environment is exactly what we needed. The programming and resident-to-caregiver ratio helps ensure a safe, comfortable environment.

My mom feels safe and comfortable. She is much calmer than she was before she moved here, relaxed and content. I’m feeling better, too. I am confident that she has a better quality of life.

Dementia robs one of so many things. It is comforting to know my mom is getting the best possible care in a warm and loving environment. Everyone at Emerald Crest shows how much they care about their residents.

I have recommended Emerald Crest to a number of people, and one person has recently moved in. I can’t say enough about what a great community we found. Staff is so competent, thorough and not only cares for the resident, but the family as well.

After my mother was at another group home I was suddenly forced to find a new home for her. Emerald Crest was highly recommended, so I contacted them and was able to come tour the Minnetonka location the next day. After spending 5 minutes there, I knew I had found mom's new home. 

She has now been there for over 6 months and I couldn't be happier with the care that she receives. The staff are all so welcoming. I visit my mom almost every day and she's always happy. The staff shows how much they genuinely care about all the residents. Pastor Arlen holds a weekly church service which is greatly appreciated. He also shows how much he cares about everyone there. 

My mom has recently transitioned to hospice care and the staff made the transition seamless. I know that mom is getting the best care possible at Emerald Crest.
