The Villas at New Brighton sits in New Brighton, MN, and works under Monarch Healthcare Management and also with Genesis HealthCare, Main VoiceFMG First Avenue Northwest Minnesota LLC, and the Presbyterian Homes Foundation, so it's got quite a lot of hands helping with care, and being part of Minnesota Long Term Care Facilities, they make sure you have access to medical, nursing, and social services, and they also offer different housing options, and you find both private and semi-private rooms there, some specialized for certain needs like the remodeled Trauma and Care Unit (TCU) for more comfort. The place stays open day and night and offers care around the clock, with a staff of trained medical professionals-led by board-certified subspecialty doctors-who work on long-term care, short-term rehabilitation, memory care, dialysis, cardiac care, and even respiratory therapy, including trach weaning and ongoing breathing support, and you'll see a focus on skilled nursing care and evidence-based rehabilitation for both body and mind, with physical, cognitive, and social support to help people keep their independence as much as they can. People have mentioned brightly lit hallways, rooms that aren't overly institutional, healthy food choices in the dining area, and amenities that encourage comfort and a harmonious setting, plus there's Wanderguard technology for safety if someone's at risk for wandering. The Villas also has a social services department, though not everyone feels it meets all needs, and there's a full team for therapy and mental health support through Professional Rehabilitation Consultants (PRC), which gives help with things like occupational therapy for chronic illness or mental conditions. The community programs include things to keep folks engaged and involved, while management agreements with Monarch Healthcare Management and Yona Solutions cover day-to-day property services and amenities, and employees like Abraham Wangnoo, Amanda Drabant, and Barbara Drabant serve as union representatives under UFCW1189 for the staff, and they work under current contracts running through 2025 that address holiday pay, wages, and maintenance. The Villas at New Brighton really tries to give residents a holistic care approach, focusing not just on practical health needs but on social, emotional, and cognitive well-being too, so anyone living here will have access to a wide range of supports from skilled nurses, clinical care staff, and therapists, all working together.

Severely understaffed neglectful unsanitary care
I placed my loved one here and was repeatedly disappointed: the facility was severely understaffed, communication was poor or non-existent, medical updates and directive changes were ignored, and call lights/meds/therapy/showers were often delayed for hours or even weeks. The building and rooms felt dirty and neglected-unsanitary conditions, bad food, missed transfers and transportation failures made care unsafe. Management was hard to reach and seemed more focused on money than patient care, though a few nurses and aides were exceptionally kind and helpful. After I moved my dad, his appetite and mood improved-I would not recommend this facility.
