    Warm attentive care, minor issues

    I moved my mother here and we're very glad - the home is spotless, warm and home-like, staff are professional, patient and genuinely caring, meals and activities are excellent, and she's happy and grateful. My only real concerns were missed callbacks, occasional unresponsiveness and a sometimes defensive owner, and the monthly cost is high; despite that, the close-knit, attentive care made this the right place and I'd serve as a reference.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the reviews is strongly positive, with multiple reviewers emphasizing a warm, home-like environment and high-quality, attentive care. The facility is repeatedly described as caring and loving, with staff who are professional, patient, and friendly. Several reviewers highlight the presence of an owner who is an RN and approachable/compassionate, and they note detailed, individualized care plans and highly qualified caregivers. Words and phrases such as "above-and-beyond," "exceptional care," and "my mother is happy and grateful" reflect a pattern of family satisfaction and willingness to provide references.

    Facilities and daily life are also frequently praised. Reviewers describe the house as clean, organized, pleasant-smelling, and beautiful. The setting is intimate and close-knit, which many families view as a benefit for individualized attention and a home-like feeling. Multiple comments point to a robust schedule of group activities, celebrations of events and holidays, and the availability of FaceTime visits during COVID—indications that both social and emotional needs are being considered. Dining receives positive mentions ("excellent food"), and staff are credited with creating positive memories for residents and families.

    Communication and management present a more mixed picture. Numerous reviewers compliment the facility's communication and the owner's accessibility, but there is at least one strongly negative review citing unresponsiveness, failed callbacks, and a rude or defensive response from the owner. This contrast suggests some variability in family experiences with communication and customer service. It would be prudent for prospective families to ask specific questions about communication protocols, on-call procedures, and escalation pathways during a tour or intake conversation.

    Cost and isolated negative incidents should be considered. One reviewer specifically mentions a high monthly cost and expresses a strongly negative overall impression; another review references a verbal abuse incident involving a family member (the brother). These points appear to be exceptions rather than the norm across the dataset, but they are significant enough to warrant attention. Prospective families should clarify all fees and ask how the home handles difficult family dynamics and disciplinary or disruptive incidents.

    In summary, the dominant themes are overwhelmingly positive: a small, well-kept, home-like environment with experienced and compassionate staff, individualized care planning, engaging activities, good food, and COVID-era accommodations such as FaceTime. However, there is at least one report of poor responsiveness and problematic owner behavior, plus cost concerns and an isolated family conflict, so due diligence is advised. Recommended next steps for families considering this home include touring the facility to confirm cleanliness and atmosphere, meeting the owner/RN and primary caregivers, reviewing sample care plans and daily activity schedules, asking about communication and complaint-resolution processes, and obtaining a clear written breakdown of monthly costs and included services.

    About Goldies Group home LLC

    Goldies Group home LLC sits in a residential neighborhood in Bloomington, MN, and works as a small, licensed assisted living facility with just 5 beds, which means residents get a quieter and more personal place to live compared to larger places, and the staff focus on daily care in a family-style setting so everyone feels at home without the crowds, while also keeping a level of privacy since each adult has private rooms alongside shared spaces for meals and activities. The group home offers help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, managing medicine, and serving well-prepared meals that residents can enjoy together in a clean, organized house that holds to the safety and comfort standards you'd expect from any adult care home, paying attention to details that make a difference for folks who need ongoing support.

    This home shows special attention to seniors dealing with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia with memory care services, so there's 24-hour supervision, programs aimed at helping memory, activities meant to keep folks mentally active, and security to give peace of mind to families. The care team pays attention to each resident's dignity and pride, offering skilled nursing, wound care, rehabilitation, and help for those who need it all hours, since the home stays open for care day and night.

    Goldies Group home LLC's small size helps everyone get to know each other, since activities often happen in groups to keep up social connections, and residents can join in on community events, games, or simple get-togethers in warm, friendly areas set up for comfort. They also offer respite care for seniors who only need short-term help so primary caregivers can take a break, and there's some flexibility if someone likes more independence with support available as needed, while all care is adapted to where each adult's needs fall on the spectrum from light help to fuller support.

    Meals are made fresh, and staff say they're abundant so no one goes hungry, and they keep routines so everyone feels secure, with simple menus and attentive help throughout the day. Goldies Group home LLC focuses on making life easier for aging adults, offsetting the stress on families, with the right care in a personal, cheerful, and safe setting so residents can feel as comfortable as possible in a home environment where everyone matters.
