Quotes

After my mother was at another group home I was suddenly forced to find a new home for her. Emerald Crest was highly recommended, so I contacted them and was able to come tour the Minnetonka location the next day. After spending 5 minutes there, I knew I had found mom's new home. 

She has now been there for over 6 months and I couldn't be happier with the care that she receives. The staff are all so welcoming. I visit my mom almost every day and she's always happy. The staff shows how much they genuinely care about all the residents. Pastor Arlen holds a weekly church service which is greatly appreciated. He also shows how much he cares about everyone there. 

My mom has recently transitioned to hospice care and the staff made the transition seamless. I know that mom is getting the best care possible at Emerald Crest.
