Treated my mother well.
My mom was one of the longest living patients here. She recently passed away after 8 long years. She was well loved by the staff and well treated.
The staff was always friendly and caring as far as I could attest to. It's a difficult job with many degrees of memory loss among the individuals.
Thanks for taking such good care of my mother.

Emerald Crest Mtka
My mother has been at Emerald Crest Mtka for over two years, and we are very happy with it.
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.

The staff is unprofessional. They show no caring for my family after my husband died. He had been a resident for 16 months and passed away there. Not a single person had the common courtesy to call and express their concern. All I heard was to come and clear out his room so they could paint and clean it for the next person. No activities when I visited and rude aids., except for a few good ones. [Name removed] was not a good representative. I would never ever recommend to anyone to put their loved ones at Emerald Crest Minnetonka. Very upset with the staff. I advocated for my husband because he couldn't do it for himself.

Emerald Crest Exceeded Expectations
The home-like environment is definitely what my mom needs. She feels comfortable and safe at Emerald Crest.
All staff members have done an awesome job of caring for my mom and improving the quality of life that dementia can steal away from patients.
The programming is far superior to that of any other facilities we checked into.
Emerald Crest not only cares for their residents; they provide valuable support for the families as well.

This was not one of my favorites, as it was small - 12 residents in each house and the people seemed more advanced, plus it would be about $10,000.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I agree that our settings are smaller than large institutional environments. This is the result of a deliberate choice to create a homey, intimate setting that is easy to navigate for those who need memory care. In fact, our founders asked memory care experts from around the country to help them devise an environment to enable residents with cognitive issues to feel as independent as possible.
Our program was created to celebrate the unique needs of residents as they navigate transitions and we accomplish this with three distinct levels of care. The Vine Program serves those who are just beginning to experience changes in memory and cognition. The Spring Program serves those who need a bit more assistance; and the Marigold Program helps those with more advanced needs. I believe you may have visited a house where people's needs are more advanced.
The average cost at Emerald Crest is between $5800 and $6000 a month, and is nowhere near $10,000. Should you have any more questions, please feel free to contact me directly at [removed].

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.
Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
