    Loving professional care highly recommended

    I am so grateful for the loving, professional staff who treated my parent like family and provided top-notch, individualized, dignified care in a clean, beautiful home. Communication was clear and regular (photos/videos, family meetings), meals and grooming were customized, COVID-safe visits were supported, pricing felt fair - I highly recommend this warm, family-like facility.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment: Reviews of Family Tree Care Homes are overwhelmingly positive. Across multiple independent summaries, reviewers consistently emphasize loving, individualized care delivered in a home-like environment. Families repeatedly describe staff as attentive, respectful, warm and professional, and several reviewers explicitly state they would place another family member there or highly recommend the home. Gratitude, relief and trust are recurring tones in the feedback.

    Care quality and staff: The strongest and most frequent theme is the quality of caregiving. Reviews highlight personalized attention to each resident, dignity-preserving assistance, and emotional support especially during final months of life. Staff are characterized not only as clinically competent but also as compassionate and family-oriented — engaging residents with activities, honoring humor and personality, and treating residents like family. Multiple notes indicate a positive workplace culture, suggesting staff retention and morale that support consistent care. The primary minor concern mentioned is that staff can be busy at times, implying occasional limits to immediate availability during peak periods; otherwise, explicit complaints are rare.

    Facilities and safety: Reviewers praise the physical environment: clean, modern, beautifully appointed homes with pleasing design and outdoor deck visiting areas. Facilities are described as well maintained and safe. COVID-19 precautions are singled out as strong and effective, enabling safer, flexible visitation that reviewers appreciated during restrictive periods. Several reviews emphasize that the environment feels like home rather than an institution, contributing to family comfort.

    Dining and personal services: Meals are a frequently noted strength. Families reported hot, varied entrees with customized recipes and accommodations for individual tastes. Homemade desserts, pies and available ice cream were repeatedly mentioned as personal touches that contribute to resident enjoyment. In addition to dining, reviewers highlight personal grooming services — hair setting, perms, manicures and pedicures — and small practical accommodations (for example, providing a mirror for a resident) that signal attention to dignity and personal preferences.

    Activities and family involvement: Reviewers describe meaningful opportunities for resident engagement, such as cribbage played with staff, and overall a family-focused philosophy where decisions are discussed with family members. Communication practices are praised — clear, regular updates, and the sharing of photos and videos — which reinforces family trust and involvement in care. Multiple reviews noted staff kindness toward visitors and a welcoming atmosphere for families.

    Management, pricing and recommendations: Management practices appear transparent and reasonable in the eyes of reviewers. Pricing is described as fair, and some mention specific favorable billing practices (e.g., base-rate clarity). Reviewers frequently report that actual services matched initial expectations set by the facility. The combination of staff quality, individualized care, facility upkeep, and communication leads to a high recommendation rate from families.

    Patterns and notable points: The dominant patterns are consistent: loving, individualized care; a family-like culture among staff and residents; personalized meals and grooming services; clean and attractive homes; and strong communication with families. The only recurring minor concern is that staff can be busy at times, which may mean occasional delays in immediate attention; however, reviewers generally pair that observation with descriptions of excellent overall care and a positive staff attitude. In summary, Family Tree Care Homes are portrayed as delivering top-tier, compassionate, and personalized care in a homelike, well-managed setting with strong family engagement and few reported drawbacks.

    About Family Tree Care Homes

    Family Tree Care Homes sits in New Brighton, Minnesota at 2029 Palmer Drive and uses the name Panzer Home Care too, being managed by Lee James Panzer Jr. and Breanna Panzer, so what you have is a place that's built to help seniors who need a bit more support as they get older, whether it's with assisted living, memory care, or even more hands-on care like you see with Alzheimer's or other memory conditions, and while the building is single-story, the rooms come in studio, semi-private, share, or companion setups, depending on what's needed. They focus on keeping things safe and comfortable for folks, with things like special amenities, recreational activities, and health programs to help people feel at home, and they make care plans for each person, really tailoring them to what each resident needs, so you'll see staff helping with daily things like dressing, grooming, showering, even just getting around, which can take a lot off a person's mind. There are memory care programs for those who need them, with staff trained specifically for working with memory issues, and the ratio of staff to residents stays higher than usual so people get more attention and safety, and you see that with the monthly on-site visits from a geriatric doctor through the Bluestone Physicians Services partnership, which helps lessen clinic trips and keeps closer tabs on health right inside the home. Activities aren't all the same for everyone, as the staff put together recreational plans based on what they learn from residents and families, so outings, gardening, scenic drives, and time spent reminiscing show up pretty often on the schedule, and you'll see the care options include care homes, assisted living, and those specialized memory care programs, plus Registered Nurses oversee things 24/7 to answer questions or concerns. The facility isn't BBB accredited, but it maintains high review scores and stands out in its local area for providing reliable and individualized care for seniors, especially those living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and it keeps in touch with state licensing offices in both Minnesota and North Dakota to keep up with requirements.
