Overall sentiment across the reviews is largely positive with clear strengths in staffing, care quality, cleanliness, and programming, tempered by concerns about the age and layout of the building and an annoying pattern of spam phone calls. Multiple reviewers explicitly praised the staff and the level of care residents receive; comments such as "very good staff," "great care," and "enjoys the staff" indicate consistent, favorable interactions between staff and residents. The facility is also described as well-kept and clean, which supports the impression of competent day-to-day operations and maintenance.
Amenities and daily life are other strong points. Reviewers mentioned nice amenities including a theater, daytime activities, and flexible dining options. The presence of two separate dining areas—one for permanent residents and another for single elderly residents—was noted and may reflect an attempt to tailor dining experiences to different resident needs. Multiple reviewers said they enjoy the food, which further reinforces dining as a positive aspect of life at Edgewood Minot. A tour experience was described as positive, suggesting that first impressions and staff interactions during visits are generally good.
However, several reviews raise consistent concerns about the physical plant. The facility is described as an older unit with dated rooms and many hallways. Comments like "room dated and old" and "many hallways" point to a building that may feel dated or sprawling, which can influence both aesthetic appeal and ease of navigation for residents and visitors. One reviewer specifically said the facility was "not a good fit," tying that reaction to room condition and overall feel; this suggests that while the facility meets many operational and care standards, some prospective residents or families may prefer a more modern or compact layout.
Operationally, the reviews are mostly favorable but include a recurring nuisance: frequent spam phone calls. Reported details include toll-free numbers calling and hanging up, which reviewers flagged as an irritant. While this issue may not reflect the facility's caregiving or hospitality directly, it is a practical annoyance affecting staff and residents and is worth noting for management follow-up (e.g., improved phone screening or blocking measures).
Taken together, the reviews portray Edgewood Minot as a well-run, clean community with strong staff and good programming where many residents enjoy the food and activities. Potential downsides are primarily physical (older rooms, dated decor, many hallways) and administrative in the sense of phone spam. For prospective residents or families, the facility is likely a good match if priority is given to quality of care, staff responsiveness, cleanliness, and available activities. Those who prioritize modern room finishes, updated interiors, or a compact layout should plan a thorough tour focused on specific units and ask about recent renovations. Additionally, asking facility management about how they handle unwanted phone solicitations would address the recurring spam-call concern.
