Timber Hills

My mom lived in independent care for years. We loved this place. Moved her to assisted living and the staff is hit or miss and this no longer seems like the same wonderful place. Some aids are in need of training and a dose of compassion. Think the director of nursing needs to get away from her desk and spend some evenings and nights learning what the residents go through when no over sight is onsite after hours

For those that can afford it this is a nice retirement community

READ this before you decide to place your mom there thinking this will be her final move prior to meeting Jesus. My mom is slowly dying in the memory care unit. She has lived at Timber Hills various levels of assisted living 3 years. Her deterioration went quickly at first, but is now a very slow process. We don't know how much time she has left on earth. The sad and disappointing thing is that Timber Hills has asked us to move her to a different facility claiming they can no longer handle the amount of care she needs. It is exceeding their capabilities. She is not on oxygen or medications, she does, however require a lift to be moved from wheelchair to bed and she needs to be fed. BEWARE of this before you decide to place your mom there thinking this will be her final move prior to meeting Jesus.

My father, Famous Amos (nickname), lived here in assisted living and then memory care and passed into the hands of God after 3 years. After over 10 years I am still thankful in my heart every day for the amazing, compassionate, and kind care they gave him every single day. The staff were the ones who served him even on his final day I witnessed first hand their care and giving to other residents. They were always patient, kind, and willing to help all residents and their families. Fabulous programs for all in a beautiful setting. You could always see staff in the building and available at all times in memory care. My precious Mother in Law is at Bridgedale Hospice Care in Eagan and we haven't seen any care staff at various times of the day in the memory care area during her first 7 days there. Contact with residents seems very elusive. This is sad and an unacceptable level of care.I witnessed that not all patients can remain at the Timber Hills location due to advanced health issues. There are other Pres Homes that offer additional care at these stages. It is really hard to have to move your loved one to yet another facility. My heart goes out to any one who has experienced this.I visited TImber Hills very often and became close to patients and staff. I volunteered at this location even after my dad passed. My wish is to return here to volunteer. I only wish all residents at other facilities could receive even close to the kind of care TImber Hills provides. Blessings to all of you who serve.
