Rose Arbor and Wildflower Lodge

I am looking for a new living space for my brother who is 93 years old, lives in St. Michael,MN , and within the past month lost his wife. Rose Arbor is only about five blocks from where I live. He won't be driving any more, so my distance to him is very important. He is able to live independent at this time. I believe he would enjoy being in the company of others as he has no trouble conversing with others.

Response from the community

Thank you for considering Rose Arbor for your brother during this important time. We are sorry to hear about the recent loss of his wife and understand that finding the right community is an important decision. It sounds like your brother is currently enjoying an independent lifestyle and values social connection, which are qualities many residents appreciate in our community. We also understand how important it is for family to remain close by, and we're glad our location may offer that convenience for you. If you have any questions about our community, services, or living options, we would be happy to help.

Nursing is somewhat lax. Room sizes are great ( spacious and nice). Amenities and dining are fine. No space for families to have a gathering. And, hallways and open spaces are a bit tight for wheelchairs 2 way traffic.

This was overwhelming to my mom. The facility was great, it was just such a new experience for her. Too many people coming at her at once. She has lived alone for the past 18 years, which is why it was a bit overwhelming. The facility is not really set up well for dogs. No real walking paths or easy ways to get outside. A cat would be easier. Nice facility otherwise.

Thank you for taking the time to tour our community and share your honest feedback. We completely understand how emotional and overwhelming this type of transition can feel, especially for someone who has lived independently for many years. Moving into a senior living community is a major life change, and it is very common for the experience to feel like a lot all at once. We appreciate your comments regarding the pace of the tour and interactions. We are always working to create a welcoming and comfortable experience, and your feedback helps us continue improving how we introduce families to our community. We also appreciate your thoughts regarding pets and outdoor accessibility for dogs. Pets are important family members, and we understand how meaningful those daily routines can be. Thank you again for visiting us and for your kind comments about our community overall. We truly wish you and your mom all the best as you continue exploring the option that feels most comfortable for her.

Residents seem pretty happy. Health Care Response time for residents is around 10 minutes or less. Residents seem very happy about the care they get and the speed with which their calls are answered. Residents seem to love the food. Ice Cream is a big deal here. Residents feel safe and trust their Medical professionals-many on site. All acknowledging us with a smile or friendly Hello. Our tour guide was prepared for us and had a written info packet ready for us. Parking was ample.
