    Compassionate attentive care, highly recommended

    I'm very satisfied with Benedictine Living Community Regina - the staff are consistently kind, attentive, and reassuring, and my sister receives compassionate, personalized care. The facility is clean and updated with private-room options, great meals, active programming (daily events, music, Mass), on-site services and mobility accommodations, and responsive administration that keeps families informed. I have peace of mind and would highly recommend them.

    Summary of reviews

    Overall sentiment across the provided reviews for Benedictine Living Community Regina is very positive, with repeated and emphatic praise for the staff and the quality of care. Multiple reviewers emphasize that staff are friendly, kind, and dedicated; specific examples include staff who sit with residents to reassure them during emotional moments, and caregivers who help families through tough times. Words and phrases such as "marvelous care," "absolutely the best," "extremely satisfied," and "would highly recommend" appear as consistent themes, indicating strong family confidence in the facility's caregiving and resident treatment.

    Care quality and staff: The dominant theme is the high caliber of staff — compassionate, supportive, and attentive. Reviewers note that staff not only meet clinical or daily-care needs but also provide emotional support, taking time to sit with residents during "weepy times" and reassure them. Several comments point to staff being particularly good with a specific resident ("staff are really good with her") and to the facility's role in helping families through difficult periods. This pattern suggests both clinical competence and a person-centered approach to emotional well-being.

    Facilities and dining: The facility is described as very neat and well maintained. Reviewers highlight visible investment in the physical plant, mentioning a "brand new kitchen and dining room in progress," which signals recent upgrades and a commitment to improving communal spaces. The construction/renovation is noted as an in-progress item — a potential short-term disruption — but is framed positively overall as an improvement. Resources for obtaining a private room are also mentioned, indicating some level of flexibility or accommodation for residents’ preferences.

    Activities and social environment: Reviews mention "lots of activities for residents" and frequent family visits. The combination of active programming and family involvement is presented as beneficial for residents' social and emotional health. Multiple accounts emphasize that families visit often and that this involvement helps residents, reinforcing a social environment that supports wellbeing. There is also an implication that staff facilitate or support these family connections through their caring approach.

    Management and responsiveness: While reviewers do not provide detailed commentary about administrative policies or management beyond staff interactions, the overall tone implies responsive, effective leadership insofar as it yields consistent, high-quality frontline care and recent capital improvements (kitchen/dining). The lack of complaints about management in the sampled reviews suggests satisfaction, though it also limits insight into operational areas that were not explicitly discussed.

    Notable patterns and concerns: The reviews are overwhelmingly positive; specific concerns are minimal. The two modest issues evident are (1) emotional moments among residents that require attentive reassurance — which reviewers present as something staff handle well rather than a failing — and (2) the dining/kitchen renovation being "in progress," which may cause temporary disruption but is viewed as a long-term improvement. There is also limited negative feedback overall, which makes it difficult to identify recurring operational weaknesses from this dataset alone.

    Conclusion: In summary, the reviews paint Benedictine Living Community Regina as a compassionate, well-maintained senior living community with strong, person-centered staff, active programming, supportive family involvement, and ongoing investment in facilities. The few concerns mentioned are minor and are either actively managed by staff (emotional support) or reflect temporary improvements in progress (dining/kitchen renovation). Families and residents in these summaries express high satisfaction and strong willingness to recommend the community.

    About Benedictine Living Community Regina

    Benedictine Living Community Regina sits in Hastings, MN, right next to the Allina Health-Regina Hospital, so you get direct access to medical care if you need it, and the campus has a mix of trees, outdoor gardens, and quiet paths where you can walk or just sit and listen to the birds. This faith-based, non-profit community, part of the Benedictine organization, has served seniors since 1953, and the staff keeps Catholic values at the center of things, focusing on respect, dignity, and compassion, which a lot of residents seem to appreciate, especially with spiritual care and on-site worship services available. There's a 61-bed skilled nursing care center for folks who need ongoing care or have complex health needs, plus 131 assisted living units and two separate memory care communities for people living with dementia or Alzheimer's, and they even allow pets, like dogs, cats, birds, or fish, if you have approval, so you can maybe bring a little part of home with you. Licensed professionals such as RNs, LPNs, Certified Nurse Aides, and Certified Medication Aides offer care around the clock, handling services like diabetes management, wound care, post-surgical recovery, IV therapy, pain management, skilled respiratory care, and even tube feedings, making it possible for a wide range of health needs to be met right on site, whether it's long-term illness or you're recovering after surgery.

    The community provides hospice, palliative, rehabilitation, and respite care, plus home care and adult day services, which gives you different choices if your needs change. In assisted living, people get help with things like dressing, bathing, grooming, taking medicine, getting around, and preparing meals, and staff set up personal care plans to fit each person's needs. Independent living is available for folks who want a little help but still like their freedom, and there's a full continuum of care, so you don't have to worry too much about moving if you need more help later. Memory care programs support older adults with memory loss, offering security and special activities, including early and end stage care, while the staff leads gentle programs that help with cognition.

    Benedictine Living Community Regina has renovated assisted living apartments-private studios and one- or two-bedroom Heritage apartments, with options like Heritage A at 451 square feet and Heritage I at 493 square feet, plus single studios if you're looking for something cozier, each with private rooms and safety features like a 24-hour call system. You find spacious apartments, outdoor decks and patios, and colorful gardens on the property, and the staff keeps things clean and comfortable with laundry and weekly housekeeping. The dining room serves three meals a day, and guests or visitors are welcome to join you for meals and activities, since there are always groups, clubs, and life enrichment programs going on, like music therapy, arts and crafts, or community gardening. You can enjoy common spaces-dining rooms, exercise rooms, and living areas for socializing-plus beautiful, lush healing gardens where you can relax outside, while transportation is available if you don't want to drive your own car or need a ride to appointments.

    The environment around Benedictine Living Community Regina feels quiet, set in a suburban residential area, which many people say gives it a small-town vibe, but the community still stays active with various social and recreational activities to keep people engaged and help with wellness. Residents' families can come by often, with open visitation and access to recreational facilities and dining venues. Overall, Benedictine Living Community Regina focuses on complete well-being-mind, body, and spirit-while providing a safe place that many older people call home, with services guided by decades of compassionate Catholic caregiving.

    About Benedictine

    Benedictine Living Community Regina is managed by Benedictine.

    Benedictine, established in 1985 by the Benedictine Sisters of St. Scholastica Monastery in Duluth, Minnesota, has grown into one of the largest Catholic senior living organizations in the United States, operating over 35 communities across Minnesota, North Dakota, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Missouri. With annual revenues reaching billion, approximately 5,000 employees, and over million of senior living assets under management, this faith-based nonprofit organization has experienced significant expansion from a single skilled nursing facility to a multi-state healthcare network through strategic acquisitions, partnerships, sponsorship transitions, and joint ventures.

    Under the leadership of President and CEO Jerry Carley, who joined in 2018 bringing over 35 years of senior care experience, Benedictine has maintained its position as an industry leader while preserving its Catholic heritage and mission-driven focus. Carley's leadership has earned significant recognition, including being named to The Minnesota 500 as one of the state's most powerful executives (2018-2020) and designation as one of Minnesota's Most Influential Health Care Leaders by Minnesota Physician Magazine in 2020. His extensive background includes previous roles as president and CEO of CSJ Initiatives and service on LeadingAge Minnesota's board of directors, where he serves as Chair.

    Benedictine's innovative memory care program exemplifies their commitment to specialized care through two distinct neighborhoods: Tabitha, named after Sister Tabitha who was the first woman to head a hospital setting, which serves residents with mild to moderate memory loss, and Pauline, honoring Sister Pauline who devoted her life to dementia care, providing specialized support for those with moderate to advanced dementia. These research-based programs employ best practices in dementia care, offering engaging activities, personalized care plans, and family integration support. The organization's comprehensive service continuum extends to Adult Day Programs in Duluth and Winona, providing daytime respite care with trained memory care staff, while facilities like Benedictine Minneapolis specialize in complex medical care including tracheostomy and ventilator support.

    The organization's care philosophy centers on nurturing mind, body, and spirit, rooted in Benedictine values of Hospitality, Stewardship, Respect, and Justice. This holistic approach emphasizes listening with the "ear of the heart," creating welcoming environments where unique needs are respected and each person's spirituality is honored. Through comprehensive rehabilitation services, spiritual care programs led by Director of Spiritual Care Rev. J. Scott Cartwright, and purposeful recreation incorporating art, music therapy, and movement, Benedictine continues the healthcare ministry begun by the Benedictine Sisters over a century ago. Recent strategic decisions, including the 2024 transition of Benedictine Living Community-Wausau to The Ensign Group, demonstrate the organization's commitment to ensuring sustainable, high-quality care while adapting to evolving market dynamics and maintaining their mission of empowering older adults to live to their highest potential.
