My husband and I toured this facility. We met with Tabitha. Nice small facility with caring staff. Reviews of state evaluations and citations were very good for the region. The facility was clean and well maintained. À la carte pricing for services. The apartments were nice. The kitchen could be update but it was clean, maintained , and functional. The gathering spaces and services were good. Elevator was well maintained and had great inspection reports. Staff greeted residents by name. Residents were cheerful and friendly. There was a nurse on duty. A very nice place.

I cannot give enough praise to the staff at St. Luke's. My mother received loving care all the way through her journey there from assisted living through to Moonlight and then on to hospice care where she passed peacefully under their loving care. I feel so very grateful that St. Luke's allowed my mom to remain in her community in Blue Earth for the remainder of her time in this world.

My Mother is there and frankly I do not care for where she is at. She should beable to walk more and more activities because she knows what is going on. If was not for Kurt my Mom would be worse. The aids are kinder then nurses. There one nurse my mom really likes. I just do not think it is big enough. They should have better walking space. I know my family would not put me in there. My Mom was put in to early and has caused a lot of family problems. The little room we see Mom in the floor is so dirty our shoes stuck to floor. You can see it. There rooms are in bad shape and need painting and new furniture. Tv barely works. Kurt and the gazebo is nice and big eating area and tv area. My Mom needs better bathing habits. She stinks from BO and needs to put on deodorant and body spray that we have furnished. Atmosphere is quiet and boring.
