    Clean homelike compassionate but limited

    I found the place extremely clean, beautiful, and homelike - private rooms, a quiet neighborhood, and a compassionate, professional staff (Paye and the team gave excellent, personalized one-on-one care). That said, it's not the right fit for a wanderer or someone needing strict structure: door locks/security are a concern and there's no monthly meal plan or activity list. Overall I highly recommend it for those seeking small, well-managed, individualized care.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment in the reviews is strongly positive, with many reviewers highlighting the facility’s cleanliness, attractive home-like setting, and compassionate individualized care. Multiple comments describe Project Caring as a beautiful, quiet house in a nice neighborhood that is well maintained. Reviewers repeatedly note that staff are professional, kind, and welcoming, and several specifically praise the caregiving team as compassionate and well managed. The small size of the facility is presented as a strength: reviewers emphasize one-on-one care, personalized attention, and private rooms for residents, and several recommend the home highly and describe it as an excellent value.

    Facilities and environment are frequent positives. Reviewers call the property "very clean," "beautiful," and "lovely," and they consistently remark on the quiet, desirable location. The homelike atmosphere is a recurring theme — reviewers describe a smaller, residential setting rather than an institutional environment, with pleasant resident interactions and a calm, welcoming home. Maintenance and management receive praise, reinforcing the perception of a well-run small residential assisted living option.

    Staff and care quality are strong themes. Across reviews the staff are described as caring, professional, compassionate, and attentive. Multiple reviewers use words like "wonderful team of caregivers," "personalized care," and "one-on-one care." One staff member, Paye, is explicitly named and praised for excellent care, which suggests that individual caregivers make a meaningful positive impression on families. Reviewers’ recommendations and statements of high value indicate a high level of trust in the caregiving team and management.

    However, several concrete concerns appear and are important for prospective residents and families to consider. The most serious safety-related issue mentioned is a door lock that reviewers identified as a potential security concern for a resident who wanders (dementia-related wandering). That single safety note suggests the facility may not have secure wandering-prevention measures appropriate for some people with mid-to-late-stage dementia. Related to resident needs and expectations, reviews also note a lack of structure: specifically, reviewers report no monthly meal plan and no published activity list. These points indicate that the facility may operate on a more flexible, home-style model without the formalized schedules, bundled meal billing, or organized activity programming typical of larger assisted living communities.

    Taken together, the pattern is clear: Project Caring appears to excel at providing a small, clean, homelike setting with dedicated, compassionate staff and individualized attention — a good match for residents who value privacy, quiet, and personalized care. At the same time, it may be less well suited for residents who require secure wandering prevention, a regimented daily schedule, formalized group activities, or a bundled monthly meal plan. Prospective families should weigh those trade-offs and verify specifics with management.

    Practical next steps for interested families, based on the review themes: ask about door and exit security procedures for residents with dementia or wandering tendencies; request a sample daily/weekly schedule and an activity calendar to understand available programming; clarify how meals are billed and whether any meal plans or dining options exist; and meet key staff members (like Paye) to assess fit. In summary, reviews portray Project Caring as a warm, well-kept, and well-staffed home-style assisted living option that offers strong personalized care but may require confirmation of safety and programming features for residents with higher behavioral or scheduling needs.

    About Project Caring Residential Assisted Living

    Project Caring Residential Assisted Living sits on two and a half acres in Stillwater, Minnesota, tucked on the west bank of the St. Croix River, with quiet rural surroundings and natural views from every private bedroom in the home. This place has a small, home-like setting where staff provide personalized care twenty-four hours a day, with trained caregivers and a nurse liaison who coordinates health care with other medical specialists, and a registered nurse who checks each resident's needs on a regular basis. Residents can have private rooms with shared bathrooms, most rooms have DirectTV and high-speed Wi-Fi, and the building stays smoke-free in all private and public indoor areas.

    The care offered covers assisted living needs, Alzheimer's care, hospice, respite, short-term rehab, and help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, medication setup and administration, and transfers. Staff stay awake and ready at all hours, helping with walking, toileting, hygiene, and more, and there's always someone around to help in an emergency or small daily challenge. They cook three balanced meals every day using menus prepared by a chef and dietician, make fresh snacks, and pay attention to individual meal preferences. Residents can eat at the kitchen table with others or in their rooms if they prefer.

    There's a regular schedule of activities on and off site to keep folks engaged, which might include parties, exercises, trips to the Stillwater Senior Center, outings to Lake Elmo Regional Park, and visits from foster dogs. Daily housekeepers help keep everything tidy; laundry and linen cleaning get done as part of regular service. Outdoor walking paths and garden spots offer a spot for fresh air and quiet; indoor common rooms have TVs, books, and puzzles, and people often gather to read, talk, or relax together. Residents can bring pets, use the beauty or barber shop onsite, and have doctor, nurse, podiatrist, dentist, and therapy visits arranged as needed.

    Transportation is available for appointments, therapy, or social outings, the facility handles both complimentary and cost-based rides, and resident parking is available. The location makes it easy to get to local hospitals and community centers. The house aims to offer a family atmosphere, respect residents' input for meals and activities, and create a comfortable, safe spot for men and women needing extra help as they age. Staff focus on treating every person with dignity, offering support with small day-to-day tasks or more complex medical needs, all wrapped up in the calm of a country neighborhood.
