Recommend a facility that values basic professionalism. Shouldn’t require a packet to be filled out, if you can’t simply follow-up with an applicant. Suggest re evaluating.

My 85 year old mom just moved in, and absolutely loves it! The nurses and staff have gone above & beyond to make this transition a smooth one. Highly recommend The BeeHive off Elk River.♥️

Dear owner, this post is in reference to how your staff treats the local food service people. To my knowledge this would not be considered as inappropriate. Regardless, my 1 star review will not be changed.

This facility is incredible. The entire staff is the most caring and compassionate I have ever seen. This is the third facility my mother has been in. The others don't even come close. It is like home. The residents don't have to go to bed at a certain time or get up at a certain time. The staff sit and eat their own meals with the residents even if the resident needs to be fed. My mother has been there for almost 8 months and she is in her final days. Many of the staff even came in on their days off to say good bye to my mom. It is a small facility so you have that homey feeling. Several of us have spent the night with my mother. They brought us mattresses, pillows and blankets. They offered us food around the clock. We were not charged extra for the meals or soda either. Almost all meals are homemade. My dad gets there every morning after breakfast is over but yet they make him his own special breakfast every day. There is little turnover of staff. I've seen staff work double shifts still smiling and going above and beyond for my mother and other resident,s. The cost is comparable to other homes in the area. If you are looking at a home for your loved one, you won't find a better one. I wish we had found this home the first time but they are fairly new and haven't been open that long. I was able to leave and travel back to my home in Florida because I knew my mother was in such good hands. 5 stars plus for this staff and facility.
