Gracewood Advanced Assisted Living and Memory Care of Lino Lakes

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

So far, everything at Gracewood has been good. I feel the staff should really identify themselves each time they come in to my husband just because when you are a new resident, it is hard to remember names, and I think that is very important. Name tags are very difficult to read, so even though the names are there, I think it would be more appropriate that when they come into the room they would interact a little with him.

Care is good, Food Not So Much

I love the idea that this is a mixed care facility, my husband is limited memory care, this situation allows him to interact with patients who do have cognitive abilities. He is frustrated with restrictions there, for his care. But the all over care seems adequate as far as his care goes. My big complaint is the food and how unappealing it is. Mealtime is sometimes the only thing to look forward to. There seems to be NO consideration between clients who eat very little, or need soft diets, and ones who still have…
