The Wellington

All the staff seem super nice there and seem to care about the residents. The reason for 4 stars, is the horrible food I encountered in the cafeteria. Powdered eggs for breakfast?! C'mon! Can't spring for real ones? Frozen potatoes and plain grits?! Nasty! I can't believe so many people are saying the food there is good. I just really want my 98 year old client to enjoy eating her food and not just trying to force it down to survive. Before you bring your loved one here, I would try the food first. Maybe it isn't something you or your love ones care about as much as I do.

Feb 9th, 2023

The residence wasted and clean. The atrium is big and open to space upward for several stories of the building. The food tasted was hot andvery good, but too salty to continue with because of my heart disease. The character of the place is wonderful and includes a library. Areas where one could try out the arts (writing, poetry, painting and the like and encouraged to participate. The activities director creativity and reaching out to join was amazing. The staff are friendly and willing to help when necessary. Apartments are standard except for very old appliances in the individual's kitchen. Minneapolis dislikes are few. 1.) The age of the apartment has plumbing which is old and not fixed in weeks although maintenance help initiation was prompt. 2.) The staff are overworked and insufficient to come quickly if there is an immediate serious medical problem or need occurs and did not respond to my calls by aides and nurses of which I several and response was delayed. 3.) As expected, there were deaths around me frequently but I was not able to handle it as I was younger person and the expense for my budget was higher than at other places I viewed. Although the above was true, I would solidly recommend this place to live.

Since my mother-in-law moved in she has constantly shared that she appreciates the caring staff. She looks forward to seeing the care staff each day. When I am visiting and see the care staff come in, she knows them, smiles, and they talk with each other as one does a friend and neighbor. Professional, friendly, and personal are ways I would describe the breadth of staff we have encountered sine she moved in. What a warm and welcome place to call home.

My mother just moved into The Wellington in April 2021. The friendly and dynamic staff made her feel welcome from the first day. The number and variety of activities they organise is truly remarkable. The building is located in a quiet neighborhood and is very convenient to get to by bus from the airport. I recommend it very highly!
