Prompt, friendly, go above and beyond to accommodate my brother’s admission to TCU. I am pleased with the staff - aides, nurses, and cleaners. Meals are prepared with a dietary plan.

My mom lives at Cerenity. Always short staffed. Staff never stay. Always problems with billing . No one returns phone calls. Filed complaint with vulnerable adults.

RN’s are fantastic! Many of the aides a very good but some need more training. All of my nurses were very professional and always exceed my expectations. Alexis, Andrew, Ibermah, Dawn, Melissa, Anabel, I’m missing the name of one of the best RN are the I’m sorry but I can’t remember. She worked days. The food was good. PT worked hard but a couple of treatments that I was supposed to have never took place. PA Julie Ligday was excellent and was always ready to listen and not in a hurry. I would recommend TCU at Cerenity.

She is Lutheran and moat of everything was catholic. On weekends, the facility needs more experienced nursing assistants. She likes to watch nighttime news, but nursing assistant told her she is going to bed at 8:30 (even though she asked to stay up till 10). This happened 3 times. Doctor is difficult to understand, as she has an accent. My mom didn't complain about it, of course, since the doc didn't show up much. This is my complaint. Food was great!!! My mom loved it!!! She always asked to eat in the dining room, but they only took her there half the time. I needed to show up to take her there the other half of the time, otherwise she would continue to sit in her room, just like the rest of the day. Nurses were absolutely wonderful. They were concerned with her getting better with beds and other care. PT and OT were absolutely wonderful too. Overall, the placee is the best place I think she could have ever gone to for care. Thank you!!!

It was horrible, the worst experience of my and my mother’s life. Really disgusting. My mother was treated so badly there it broke my heart. I thankfully was able to move her to a different facility, but it was a terrible experience. One day they wheeled her into the dining room for breakfast and left her sitting there all day until I came to visit and found her. Her room always averaged about 90 degrees. Most days they never even got her out of bed or dressed. They ignored her doctor’s written orders for PT. I don’t even know if that is legal. Most all their staff is agency. It’s different people working there everyday and no one knows what is going on. When I went to take her out of there she didn’t even have her boot on her broken ankle. I never saw a nurse, or a social worker, I didn’t sign any discharge papers, I just took her and left. I can’t believe they can stay open operating like that. Once the staff knew I was moving her to a different facility they stopped getting her out of bed, they never got her dressed, never put her in the wheelchair and wouldn’t provide her any therapy. A really vindictive staff that offered me no help at all when I expressed my concerns. The nurse manager told me her hands are tied because their director won’t give them any help and she can only hire agency staff and there was nothing she could do about the lack of and extremely low quality of care. Please, please don’t put anyone you love here - it’s so bad. Check into Good Samaritan or Ebenezer facilities. Cerenity really set my mom back in her recovery by not giving her therapy. I have filed a complaint against them with the State of MN. I hope it will go somewhere.
