Quotes

My mother had Parkinson's disease and lived at Emerald Crest Shakopee during the last few years of her life. She was given so much love, respect and caring by the staff, especially as her disabilities increased and as she required much more care. Our family found Emerald Crest to be a warm and homey environment, and we loved the courtyard available to the residents, and so did my mother. We developed relationships with the staff, residents and even some of the residents' family members. It was truly a warm and caring community. I’d recommend Emerald Crest to others looking for a caring community for their loved ones.

— Tracy, daughter of resident
