    Mixed care, kind staff, inconsistent.

    I had a mixed stay. Many staff were warm, kind and helpful (therapy - PT/OT - was very good; private room, courtyard view, some tasty meals), and a few employees (Zach/Brandon/Ann) stood out. However the place felt understaffed and inconsistent: slow/ignored call buttons, poor communication from management, medication and billing problems, occasional unsanitary or neglectful care and rude employees. I wouldn't fully recommend without clear assurances on staffing, cleanliness and billing transparency.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the reviews for The Villas at Roseville is highly mixed, with strong polarization between accounts of compassionate, effective care delivered by individual staff members and serious allegations of neglect, poor hygiene, unsafe practices, and administrative failures. Many reviewers highlight specific staff and therapists who provided excellent, personalized care—names such as Ann, Zach, Brandon, and Colin recur—along with positive notes about therapy outcomes, helpful front-desk service, and a comfortable, private-room environment for some residents. Several families described successful rehabilitations and appreciated encouraging PT/OT staff, a supportive hospice team, and routine features such as an activity calendar, communal spaces, and some very good meals.

    However, an equal or larger cluster of reviews raises recurring and severe concerns about staffing levels, communication, and basic standards of care. Understaffing and high turnover are repeatedly cited as root causes producing slow or ignored call lights, missed personal care (baths, haircuts, changing soiled bedding), inconsistent room cleanliness, and missed or inadequate therapy sessions. Many reviewers reported unreturned phone calls, evasive or dismissive responses from management, and a lack of follow-up after incidents or family inquiries. These communication breakdowns often compounded clinical problems, such as delayed notification when a resident required hospitalization.

    Sanitation and safety issues appear frequently and are among the most alarming themes. Multiple accounts allege unsanitary conditions including urine-soiled beds, puddles on the floor, flies, sticky bathroom floors, dirty hospital tables, and reportedly reused bandages. Reviewers connected these conditions to increased infection risk and direct resident harm (sores, missed turning and repositioning, inadequate assistance with toileting). Several reports describe ignored or improper handling by staff, rough handling or dismissive bedside manner, and in at least one instance an allegation of overmedication with opioids and poor diabetes/insulin management that preceded clinical deterioration. Families also reported missing personal items, unauthorized charges on billing, and a lack of invoices or receipts—raising financial and ethical concerns in addition to care quality issues.

    Therapy and rehabilitation produce mixed feedback: many reviewers praised the PT/OT teams for skillful, encouraging work and marked progress for residents, while others said rehab was inadequate, missed, or not individualized—sometimes describing “not turning or assisting with exercise” or therapy sessions that were skipped. Discharge planning emerges as another weak area: reviewers repeatedly cited poor transitions home, missing or delayed medications and supplies, last-minute hurried packing, and insufficient communication about medication changes (including insulin adjustments made without family notice).

    Dining and activities receive both positive and negative comments. Several reviewers enjoyed meals and mentioned specific dishes positively, while others reported burnt or uncooked food, lack of diabetic meal options, portion size issues, and instances where dietary restrictions were ignored. The facility does have activity programming and communal spaces (small dining area, open halls with TV), but visiting logistics and limited visiting space were concerns for some families.

    Management, administration, and culture are focal points of critique. Multiple reviews describe administration as unresponsive, dismissive during care meetings, or more focused on money than resident well-being. Allegations include theft, unauthorized billing, and a “money-hungry” owner. Conversely, some reviewers reported improvements in cleanliness and organization and cited administration or individual staff members trying to help. The pattern suggests inconsistent leadership and variable enforcement of policies and standards across shifts or units.

    The overall picture is one of inconsistency: The Villas at Roseville appears capable of delivering excellent, compassionate care in many individual cases—especially where specific staff and therapists are involved—but systemic issues (staffing shortages, poor communication, sanitation lapses, and administrative failings) produce significant risks and negative experiences for other residents. For prospective residents or families, the most reliable indicators of a good experience appear to be which caregivers and therapy staff are present and whether management is responsive in that moment. If considering this facility, families should ask direct questions about staffing ratios, infection-control practices, turnover rates, medication management protocols (particularly for diabetes and pain meds), procedures for reporting and documenting personal property and billing, and specifics of discharge planning. Regular, proactive family communication and clear escalation paths (who to call beyond the unit manager) would be essential safeguards given the variability reported.

    About The Villas at Roseville

    The Villas at Roseville, also called Rose of Sharon a Villa Center, sits at 1000 Lovell Avenue in Roseville, Minnesota, and people know it for patient-focused rehabilitation services and a secure Alzheimer's Care Unit where staff manage behaviors tied to dementia and help residents keep as much of their thinking and movement as possible, and you'll find a full range of care here, from short-term rehab between hospital and home to long-term skilled nursing and memory care, and the place offers 24-hour nursing care for elders who have a variety of health needs and sometimes need more support. The community connects with home care, home health, and hospice programs, and services reach beyond the walls so residents can stay as comfortable as possible and families have the support they need, and there are union representatives-Abraham Wangnoo, Ann Brisson, and Chance Miller-plus UFCW1189 represents workers, which means employment agreements and documents are easy to find for anyone who works there. Monarch Healthcare Management and Yona Solutions operate the facility, and they have some newer ideas in care but still focus on basic daily needs, so residents get laundry, dry cleaning, walking and wheelchair help, and transportation, along with safety features like sprinkler systems and Wanderguard, and the rooms-both private and semi-private-include cable TV, WiFi, kitchenettes, and washers and dryers. Staff offer meals with dining choices, help with dressing, and run social activities and events in spaces like a game room or the dining room, and the salon and fitness center are on site for folks who like those amenities, and if someone needs therapies such as physical, occupational, or speech help, those are part of daily life, too. Specialized care stands out, since they provide things like inpatient rehab, dermatology, ventilator help, telemetry, and memory care programs tailored for seniors with Alzheimer's and similar problems, but with support from nursing assistants and rehabilitation staff who watch for every need, and they run activities including arts and crafts, learning programs, and exercise, helping elders keep active and engaged even with complex health issues. The Villas at Roseville stays open all the time, offers both long and short-term care, and while the staff focuses most on memory care and skilled nursing, they list assisted and independent living among their services, so they really do try to match care to what each person needs, and for anyone wondering about open spots, the advice is to call and ask, since availability changes often.
