The experience enrolling Mom into Thorne Crest was very positive and rewarding. It took longer than expected, but her apartment was completely renovated and the delay was due to the construction process. We thought we could customize the apartment more according to Mom's individual tastes (i.e., carpet and countertop colors), but there were pretty strict guidelines we needed to follow, to keep Mom's apartment within the Thorne Crest standard. Still, the outcome of her completed apartment exceeded our expectations and Mom w... read more

Great communication between staff. Questions or issues have been dealt with timely. So far, it sees my parents are being well taken care of. One confusing thing though is an independent 2nd person in the assisted living apartment should have the same breakfast as the assisted living spouse. 

Business response:

Hi, Diane. Thanks much for your feedback and positive comments. I'm sorry for the confusion regarding breakfast options when a spouse is considered independent in an assisted living apartment. We are able to provide the same hot breakfast, as is available for the assisted living resident, we would just add a nominal fee. Please contact Catherine at 507.369.6929 if you would like to make any changes to the meal plans or if you have any concerns or questions. We are always happy to help. Thank you again for your comments.

A gem in Albert Lea, Minnesota. The professionals at Thorne Crest have been nothing but responsive and caring for my mom and dad. This is especially refreshing in a time where it is difficult to reach a real person versus a recording. 

Business response:

Hi Pam. Thanks for taking the time to share your positive experience regarding our responsiveness and the quality care your parents are receiving. We are thankful for the opportunity to serve your family.

I am a paramedic who has answered several calls at Thorncrest. I wanted to recognise a staff member Who appears to go above and beyond every time I answer a call in the memory care unit. Any time I have answered a fall or medical emergency your staff member Pearla is always there aiding, calming and treating the resident in need with the utmost care. She is always present, caring, and helpful in assisting with the residence. I have responded to several calls with Pearla and I have yet to see her treat her residence with anyt... read more
