Overall recommend

Meals started out great but when chef changed they weren't as good. For activities, a little more variety in musicians coming in would have been nice. Religious Sunday service was just televised. Price started out great but quickly escalated. This a based on 1 1/2 yrs ago and everything could be different now.

Birchwood Cottage - Mankato

About the facility

Birchwood Cottages is a family owned and operated memory care community surrounded by lively greenery. Nestled in North Mankato, Minnesota, the community is near a variety of enjoyable businesses from a zoo to a shopping mall. With the scenic views of a beautiful waterfall, the third oldest state park in Minnesota can be found with an array of wildlife and large boulders. Feel at ease knowing the nearest hospital, an affiliate of Mayo Clinic Health System, is within 5 miles of the community.

Beyond registered nurse supervision, round-the-clock care is provided by trained on-site caregivers. The building ensures seniors safety through motion sensors, surveillance, and controlled access. Each of the two neighborhoods include care for 16 residents with homey private and semi-private bedrooms. Relax in the Jacuzzi tub, then enjoy a warm towel from the heated towel racks and floors.

From pet visits to sensory stimulation, activities are created according to each senior’s likes, dislikes, strengths, and skills. Seniors with a green thumb can continue their hobbies in the raised garden beds where vegetables and flowers grow each summer. Circle around the walking paths surrounded by landscaped greenery in the fenced-in courtyard. Seniors can dine in and socialize at the open-concept kitchens....

Peace of mind

Things are going great. The staff are attentive and respecting my moms needs. They have so many activities going on - they have her out doing things that she would have never done before. It is expensive but for what she is getting and in comparison to other places it is great. The director [name removed] - I have the utmost respect for her. She is hands on and attentive to the residents, she even takes my mom out for walks. I would absolutely recommend Birchwood Cottage, we feel fortunate to have gotten her in here.

Care for the residents like family

Our experience has been a five plus and the care services are beyond a five plus. During the pandemic the activities were limited but they really did the best that they could. We like that the staff are very committed, the are more like family then a facility. You can just tell they really care about the residents, we do not have to worry about her being there. On Facebook they have pictures showing the residents participating in all the different activities.
