Amira Choice Bloomington sits in Bloomington, Minnesota, close to shops, outdoor parks, restaurants, and medical centers, and you'll find it's got a modern look with nice bright apartments that come as studios, one-bedrooms, or two-bedrooms, with kitchens, Wi-Fi, and shared spaces like living rooms and gardens, and though there's no real detailed brochure out there, the main thing to know is they offer a wide range of living choices so residents can age in place, from Independent Living for those who want an easy, social life and don't want to mess with home upkeep, to Assisted Living with daily help when needed, all the way to Memory Care for people with Alzheimer's or other dementias, plus an Enhanced Care section for more advanced needs, in smaller settings. Staff include nurses who check in part time, and the team's known for being kind, helpful, and cheerful, so you often see plenty of interactions and support around, and couples can even keep living together, even if they need different care levels. Services cover meals made with good ingredients, housekeeping, laundry, in-home healthcare, a pharmacy on-site, transportation for shopping or appointments, and personal help like medication reminders or extra care as folks need it. Residents can enjoy safety features like the gated grounds, and there's lots of ways to keep busy or active, whether you're into fitness centers, yoga, stretching, games, arts and crafts, walks outside with pets, music, or group trips. There's a hot tub spa, an aquatic area, a coffee shop, communal dining, room service, guest parking, and overnight stays for visitors. Everyone can take part in religious activities, fun events, and clubs, and the setting's pretty home-like while encouraging everyone to decorate or settle in as they like, with staff who help answer questions for both residents and families. The place accepts payments by checks and insurance, with different pricing and rent options, and the design is friendly to wheelchairs and pets alike, so you'll see a welcoming and lively community, even though some particulars like specific program names or detailed facts aren't out in the open, but what's clear is people here can get care that changes as their needs do, and they don't have to move out just because life changes.

Bright community, problems with administration
I moved into this brand-new, upscale community and love the bright, spacious apartment - balcony, in-unit laundry, big walk-in closets - and the beautiful shared spaces and grounds. The staff are mostly friendly, caring and attentive, the food is excellent (three meals/day), and there are abundant activities, exercise rooms, salon and places to socialize so I've made friends quickly. My main issues: leasing/billing and admin communication were poor (a leasing agent misled us and my rent rose ~6% shortly after move-in), housekeeping and caregiver consistency can be spotty, and assisted-living staffing/medication handling has been uneven. Overall I'm very happy with the facility and community but would advise confirming lease terms and asking detailed questions about care and communication before moving in.
