White Pine Advanced Assisted Living and Memory Care of Fridley

Activities were great!

My father was at White Pines Senior Care for 6 months. The facilities were clean and the activities were great!! On the weekend however, from Friday at 4PM until Monday at 7AM, the facility was staffed by certified nursing assistants. I was surprised that there was no LPN or RN scheduled staff on the weekends. They did have on-call nursing however.

Go elsewhere

My father was there briefly, a couple of years ago. I don't know about the assisted living part, but the memory care section was sadly lacking. Overall building looked rundown, fish tank in memory care virtually empty and filthy part of the time. No decent books, a few crummy puzzles, nothing to stimulate people there. Part of the staff were good, part were not - they had their favorites residents. Not much time spent with the residents in between meals and a few sparse activities. Not impressed, was expecting more…

Care wasn't good at all

My wife used to live at this facility and unfortunately, I had to move her out. I felt like the care she was getting for what I was paying, wasn’t good at all. I knew other people who lived here as well and they didn’t like it. When my wife was moving out, she had lost some brand new purses as well as shoes. When I spoke with the facility, they said they would find them. I have yet to hear of anything. I would not recommend this facility to other families.

I know my sister is safe at this community

This is a secure small community. The caregivers are attentive. They interact well with the residents and their families. They are aware of what is going on. The food is good and they offer a good variety of choices. They offer activities aimed at stimulating the residents mind. They have two levels of Dementia. They will accept medicaid. Everybody knows everybody and they work well together.

I really liked this property, it was actually one of my favorites out of all the different communities we had looked at for my loved one. The staff where on time to our appointment and did a great job maintaining a clean beautiful property. My cousin just did not want to be on the first floor and that was the only thing they had open at the time.

Overall happy!

The staff is taking good care of my father and he is doing well since the move. One of our frustrations is that they do not go get him for activities. I know if they ask, my father will refuse but they could tell him that they are taking him or just take him down to join. Also, there have been a couple of times that his bathroom has been out of toilet paper. Other than that, we are happy with the care and we like that there is a set fee, that's what drew us in.
