★★★★★
PositiveImpressive structure, roomy, many functional activity rooms - library, theater conference, area for puzzles or games. lacks in crafts and arts-limited activities and outside trips for wheelchair users. Cocktail hour and open door policy on alcohol-inconsistent with alcohol rehab, rather it supports and encourages use.
★★★★★
PositiveThe staff was very helpful and respectful to me and the residents saw. It is well kept and has a good veriety of units that can be very helpful as my wife needs increase. They were my second choice only because of location of the one selected.
★★★★★
CriticalReview for The Shores of Lake Phalen
They are short of staff, 1 person to help a wing of 16 people, sometimes they have to assist another wing too. Meals are set a time and very limited. Can't get a soda or anything if not wanted during their set times. If you have dietary problems your out of luck no exceptions on meals. Craft times are good and [name removed] is great. Single apartment is nice but not wheelchair friendly. Meds are a problem sometimes can be days to get refill on needed timing.

PositiveThe Shores of Lake Phalen
As you can tell we were very happy with the Shores. The hands on staff in memory were amazingly kind, patient, attentive to my brother's distinctive needs, respectful and responsive to our questions and suggestions.
★★★★★
PositiveThe Shores of Lake Phalen
Facility: lovely, well maintained and clean. Great service. Excellent aides, kind and helpful; admin and activity leader engaged and helpful - good people all around. It is expensive. I worry about the company change, we'll just have to see how it shakes out- fingers crossed. Some nice outdoor spaces on grounds. proximity to the lake, but not easily accessible to those with mobility problems unless wheeled by someone
