“In the four years my folks have been here, management has been very responsive and bent over backwards to help us. I've eaten there several times, and the food is always very good, with a great selection and good service. There's a very wide variety of activities. My mom's place is always nice and clean, maintenance gets there quickly, and they've always had a ride when they need it. The nurses always keep me updated, and I always feel informed. I'm very appreciative of the good care. I have already recommended it and will continue.”

“I would give them all tens. Management is very good, accessible and professional. The dining team makes charcuterie boards for me so I can host parties here, they're very helpful, and the food is very good. The activities are fun and enjoyable, housekeeping is consistent, and maintenance is dependable. When my husband and I need a ride, they're always very good about taking care of it. I would recommend it for sure.”
“I just like it here. The food is good with a good variety, and I enjoy the activities. Housekeeping is consistent, and they pick up my laundry and do it. The building is in good condition, and the transportation schedule works for me. I'm happy just where I'm at, and I would recommend it any time.”
“I love to cook, but I haven't wanted to because the cooks do such a good job, and the servers are wonderful. The director even clears tables. There's so much going on: I cheer at baseball games, belong to the garden club, and help call bingo. Housekeeping leaves a note every time, and a work order was fixed within hours. The caregivers learn everyone's names and joke with my husband. We've never had to lock our door, and I've recommended it a lot.”
“It's just a great place to live. Management is very friendly, quick, and responsive. The food is wonderful with good variety, and the servers are friendly. The activities are fun, with lots of laughter, and they ask what we'd like to do. Housekeeping is really clean and efficient, and maintenance comes right away and patiently explains things. The drivers go out of their way to get us there on time. I do recommend it, and relatives have told others it's better than where they live.”
“The manager is very, very friendly and doing a very good job. The diversity of what they offer in dining is marvelous, and the service is very good. There are so many activities, from games and exercise to a marvelous swimming pool. My housekeeper is marvelous; she picks things up and dusts under them. Maintenance fixed my closet door right away, and the common areas are very well maintained. The transportation is very, very good. I'm very satisfied with the services and think I'm getting my money's worth.”
“I think everything is going fine. My mom does very well with the activities, and they do what they can. When something goes wrong, maintenance takes care of it right away, and her neighborhood has all been redone. The nurses are very good and take good care of her. We need somebody to take good care of our parents when we can't, and she's been taken very good care of.”
“I'm very comfortable with my mom being here and pleased with everything. The first time I called, they called me back within an hour, and they have been above and beyond. The activity staff do projects with each resident at their own level, and they even let me join in. Housekeeping and laundry are really good. The nurses are very good about calling me whenever anything happens. My mom has never wanted to leave with me, and I 100% feel she's comfortable here. I've already recommended it.”
“Everything is very good for my father, and he likes it. From what I see, it's one of the best independent living communities around. He loves the food and says it's positive most of the time. He enjoys the activities, like the movies and theater. Whenever he asks maintenance to do something, they do it. The care staff is really good; they get back to me if I have questions and let me know if there's a concern.”
“I cannot say enough about my comfort here, and it has too many conveniences for anything to take me away. Any questions I have are always attended to. Dining works very hard to meet everyone's needs. I prefer music, and we have talent within the house and some lovely events. My housekeeper is very considerate, and I highly recommend the repair service. I've already recommended it to friends, and I would highly recommend it for the convenience to your family.”
“The management team is incredibly responsive and respectful, making me feel valued. The dining options are excellent, with a variety of tasty meals! The activities are engaging, and the housekeeping does a solid job. Overall, the community feels safe and well-maintained. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a welcoming environment.”

There are so many activities to participate in, from drumming classes to a garden club, keeping everyone engaged and active. Overall, it's a fantastic place to call home!”
“The management team is absolutely top-notch; they're professional and genuinely care about the residents. The dining experience is also fantastic, with a variety of healthy food options. There's always something fun happening—if you're bored, it's your own fault! The maintenance crew is quick to respond, and my apartment feels safe and comfortable. I very much highly recommend this community!”

“I live at this community and I am satisfied with what is happening here. This is a good place to be if you need the help because the food is good, the service in the dining room is fair, and I am satisfied with the activities that they offer. The staff also keep my house clean, they take care of issues that I report right away and they take good care of us residents. Overall, this community is pretty good. I have lived here for 10 years and don't have complaints about anything so I would say that is good.”
“My mother lives in this community and we appreciate the whole feeling of it, the way they value the residents, and everybody says hi. It's just a great place to be! There are so many activities and options. My mom is more on the shy side and has a little memory issue so she doesn't venture out much, but I love that there are so many options from church things, to bingo and a big vendor fair. You can be as busy as you want to be!”
“It is the most enjoyable place I've ever been, I really enjoy being here. I love the dining, we have a good maintenance, and they are always there to help you whenever you need help. I really enjoy it, it is wonderful.”
“My family and even my mom herself are very relieved that my mom is living at this community. The care she is getting is excellent, they are very prompt on answering any questions we have within an hour or two. The activities here is one of the reasons we chose this community; they have found a way to make them individuallized while still making them group activities.”
“Of all the places that we checked we felt that this community gave us the best deal for the money. The management and staff have been so helpful and so full of information and they are always willing to help you with a smile. The food is good. It is a well balanced meal. The service is excellent and the variety on the menu is excellent as well. The building looks good and it smells good and it is a nice place and the maintenance staff has been very helpful. I highly recommend this community. I call it a resort for retired seniors.”
“I have nothing but great interactions with all of the staff at this community and I have been very pleased with my mom's care. I am really impressed with how they work together to maintain the best for the person that is living there. They seem to be very available and they really work with us about any of the little things and to me that is very valuable. The activities staff take my mom out of the home on drives and different things like that and they know that she likes to dance so they keep her dancing. When I come there everything looks pretty neat and tidy and the maintenance staff were very good about coming and installing things that we needed installed. They went above and beyond. We needed some pictures hung and I left them there and the maintenance guy hung them for her. I would definitely recommend this community to others.”

What these terms mean
Health surveys check care and services against the basic care licensing rules (NDAC 33-03-24.1). Life Safety Code surveys check fire safety and the building (NDAC 33-03-24.2).
North Dakota law (NDCC 23-09.3-04) has the department use “a two-tiered system of identifying areas of noncompliance with the health portions of the survey”; statements name these Tier I and Tier II citations. The rules (NDAC 33-03-24.1-05) say the department posts “the deficiency statement and accepted plan of correction, following verification of correction.”
The search lists statements of deficiencies, posted after the state verifies correction, so the newest surveys may not appear yet. Statements are scanned; headings listed here were read from the scans by machine and the statement itself is the record.
