As a visitor to several area senior care facilities, I can definitely say that the Benedictine Living Community is somewhere I could and do recommend to anyone who's considering the next step in their life. The staff, rooms, activities provided are way above the normal standard. The grounds at the Benedictine are incredibly beautiful and serene, helping to make the total package even better

Over a year later and my Dad still loves the staff in Assisted Living. It's a stable place and we recognize everyone. This is a clean, quiet place with weekly activities. Bingo seems to be a hit. Added bonus of switching to the on-site primary care physician and weekly mobile lab tests.

For a year now I have lived at the Benedictine and time has proven it was the right choice and a good fit for me. Surrounded by kind people, the beauty of nature, and a most generous and helpful staff, I feel safe here. I can have my privacy as I need it and have community when I want it. There are interesting activities ( this week baby goats ). I see deer, and being near the Mississippi flyway, I see wintering bald eagles and migrating flocks large and small. In many ways I see coming here as a gift to my children as well as to myself. I have whole heartedly recommended the Benedictine to others as I do to whomever may read this.

Benedictine is not your usually large retirement facility. It’s a nice size so the residents can get that personalize touch. Employees are friendly and always willing to assist. Vicky and Mary are the cleaning custodians and are very nice. The maintenance guys are superb (Jim, Bruce, Roger and countless others are wonderful). The facility brings in interesting entertainment on a regular basis. They also have field trips and outings for the residents to enjoy. They have chair volleyball and exercise classes for the residents. The employees try to stay on top of the needs of the residents. During the holidays, the entire Shrine area is decorated in Christmas lights.
