I toured Brookdale Edina. It was a very good facility. It was very all-inclusive. The layouts were spacious, and there was plenty of natural light. They had a dining room with a full kitchen. They had an atrium that the public could use. They had a lot of programs there. They had a pool, a movie theater, speakers that come in, a salon, and transportation. The staff who gave me the tour, Victoria, was very good. The apartments were very spacious. The one I saw was 650 square feet, with a huge bathroom, a huge kitchen, and a good-sized living and dining room. The bedroom was adequate. They also offered, housekeeping.

I liked everything about Brookdale Edina. The people I know who know people there had no complaints. The apartment was lovely. I liked the fact that it is connected to an indoor park that has 400 plants and trees, so my brother can enjoy the winter. I liked the dining room situation. I liked the fact that if by 10:00 in the morning he hasn't hit the little button, someone will come check on him. I feel it's a very safe place. The amenities that go with renting an independent apartment are fabulous. At this point, I have nothing to say negative about what I saw. I was comfortable with it right away. It has a lot to do with the woman who talked with us, and the first time my husband and I went and answered questions on text. We went down there on Monday morning for my brother to see it, and he was very hesitant to move from a little country town up here, but by last night he had thought it over a lot and he has agreed. The staff we met was very nice. A lady who lives there said, "Oh, you'll just love it here." This was on her own spontaneity. I think the facilities they have with the exercising, the films, and the activities were just wonderful. Whether my brother takes part in all of them, the fact that he could, and maybe in time he will, that is very good. It's just so all-inclusive in everything we would need. We saw arts and crafts, the exercise room, which had very good equipment, where they show movies, the dining room, and we saw the menu. We've seen this all two times. We had an apple pie and it was good. The facility was very clean.

I visited Brookdale Edin, it was a really good tour. They were friendly, informative, and it was a very positive place. I enjoyed the spaces and the apartments were nice. They have a lot of activities, a lot of opportunities, and access to stuff that I felt was great. That it was connected to Edinborough Park, was also really nice. In terms of amenities, they had everything and it was kind of state of the art.

We liked Atria at the Arboretum, but it was just more of a high rise type of layout, was a little compact, and not as flat and as open as we liked, but other than that, I think the services, the staff, the facilities, its environment, and the location was a 5 rating. The rooms were very, very nice, very updated, very clean, beautiful, and very pleasant. They have a good schedule of organized activities, outings, and interesting programs or agendas. It was a Friday when we were there and I believe we saw a happy hour and it looked like they had fun. They were all happy, cheerful, and it was a happy crowd. Even though it was not our preference, it was still top-notch.

Brookdale Edina was lovely. We're pleased with it. They have the nicest rooms I've seen so far. I liked the size and the openness of it. The staff were very good and very thorough too. The staff member toured the whole building for us. She was wonderful, very respectful and knew her job well. There's an indoor park right next door, which was nice. The dining area was beautiful. We had no food, but they invited us to come back and have a meal with them. The facility was excellent. They really impressed me with their building. They have a bistro, groups that would come in, exercise area, swimming pool, and a fitness center that you could use for free.

We took a tour at Brookdale Edina and it was good. They showed us their facilities, and it appealed to us. The important thing for us is the location. We like that it was not too far from where we live right now and what we are accustomed to. The staff were very helpful. We saw a sample of what the dinner meal would be.

Brookdale Edina was fine. We had a 1-bedroom 1-bathroom, and we had two meals a day. The food was alright. The problem being there was that they raised our rent. Also, the amenities that we were offered were not available. It was not their fault, but it wasn't our fault either. I don't think they should have raised our rent. Food was as good as it could be in a place like that.

We went to Brookdale Edina. It's wonderful, the apartment was very nice, and the staff was very cordial, and very nice. They were wonderful people to work with. We checked the dining area, we were offered a meal to take home, but we declined. We were told about the amenities, but we did not observe any.

We checked out Brookdale Edina, and the first thing they told us was, they're basically private, did not accept government assistance, and you would have to pay from your own funds. It has 18 floors of residence, which is rather tall, and they were on the more expensive side. They had different varieties of apartments you can choose from, like studios, one-bedrooms, and some were very nice, upscale-rooms, while others were standard, regular scale-rooms. The staff seemed very nice, and we had a good tour, but we didn't like that the building was attached to an indoor city-park; we thought it was risky for elderly people who did not have a good memory, and they could easily get lost. Doctors come, so you do not need to leave the facility to go to a doctor.

I visited Brookdale and thought it was a lovely environment. It's close to many amenities, things to do, and shopping. It felt like very nice, upscale living. The staff was friendly, open to questions, and treated me very well. The food was amazing. They're connected to a community center, so you can go swimming. It was more for active people.

Edinborough (Edina Park Plaza) looked like a complete facility from independent living, and then they were adding on a memory care unit later. I liked its location. I looked at the independent living units, and they looked very nice. I liked the arrangements that they had there. I was trying to compare it with what my current facility already had, and it was pretty similar. The attraction to me was that they were building a memory care unit with it, which my mother would need in the future. I met with Donna -- she was the sales associate or whatever her position was -- she was very accommodating. I liked the layout of the rooms. They were pretty new. They were renovating them. They looked spacious and very comfortable. What was attractive to me was that the community's park and recreation department headed in-door recreation facility was in the same complex, and I liked that because family members with young children could come over and visit them, and they could go over to the park and be able to play. There was something for the little ones to do while they were visiting great grandparents. The location was close to a hospital. It was probably about a mile from the hospital. I would recommend it, and if my parents were interested in the place, I would say I would recommend it to them.

The rooms were nice. I like that they have a lot of activities. It's connected to the city park, and so there's a lot going on down there. They were having a Christmas show. The staff was real nice, helpful, and knowledgeable. It was good. They were renovating a lot of parts of it. I just thought that the halls were a little close; it's real tight in there. That's the only thing. It's more like a hotel. It's a tall building. The dining area looked nice and clean.

What I liked about Edina Park Plaza was that there were so many activities associated with the building, lots of activities for kids. I haven’t seen anything else like it before. The staff seemed fine. It looks like they might have had some turnover with the staff, and I’m thinking that things are just getting busy. It seemed a little bit old, but I know that they’re going through some changes, so it may be a good thing. I want to go someplace that caters to the young and the old, and when I’ve looked at other places, they just don’t measure up to Edina Park Plaza.

Our impression of this facility was that it was more like a hotel than a Senior home. Narrow halls and small rooms. Pretty expensive, also. Assisted care was provided on an "as needed" from Home delivery.

Edina Park was definitely old but it was clean and well kept. Most people there seemed to be about 80. I never even looked at the rooms or anything. I just said I don't think this is the right place. I had a meal in their dining room and it was fine. The staff was extremely accommodating.

My aunt and I visited the Edina Park Place and we liked the facility. They have all the services that we needed. The only concern we have is the price and that's just because my aunt is not used to paying rent, but I think that's priceless comparable to other facility. The people we had interaction with working there were very friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. We also had lunch there and the food was good. One thing though that she really didn't like was the fact that it overlooked a busy interstate and it was noisy.

Myself and my family all agree this facility to be one of the best around. Every time that I go to visit my grandmother there is a great experience. The facilities are very modern and in better shape then most normal apartments and always in a very clean state. The security is also quite good and does not allow for any stragglers to just walk in from off of the street. There are elevators that are large and speedy enough to make sure there are no traffic jams as was witnessed when we used them to help move my grandmother in. Her apartment is very nice with newer appliances and a great view. She is always talking up the meals that they make as just wonderful and loves that she no longer has to cook every meal herself, but she is allowed to make her own food as well. The staff is very professional and courteous and some how has managed not to upset my grandmother at all, and that is very hard to do. There are plenty of other residents around that she has made friends with and is always bragging about the grandchildren and great-grandchildren too as they are to her. Also there are always new events being set up for everyone to do such as movie night, dancing, and board game night. Over all this facility is much better then any other facility that I have been to and would recommend it to anyone.
