  Vernon Terrace has been such a blessing for our family. What touches me most is how genuinely they care for my mom’s comfort and dignity. The food is wonderful, but it’s the way they handle it that means the most — on days when she doesn’t feel up to joining everyone in the dining room, her meals are brought directly to her apartment with such kindness and understanding. It makes her feel looked after without ever feeling pressured. I have also been impressed with the other residents I have met. The Vernon Terrace community is full of interesting people with diverse backgrounds and life stories. The opportunities for connection and engagement here are real. I am grateful to see Mom as part of a community again. The combination of great food, supportive staff, and a truly engaging resident community has made it a perfect fit for her. We’re deeply grateful to Vernon Terrace for giving her a place where she feels safe, respected, and truly at home.

  Placing a loved one in memory care is never easy, however our family’s experience with the Willows at Vernon Terrace made this difficult transition as seamless as possible. From the beginning, their thoughtfulness, attention to detail, and quality of care was evident as we toured the Willows facility and interviewed staff. Their intake process encompassed more than a medical diagnosis — it also focused on learning about our dad’s vibrant past, along with his likes and dislikes. Once he was situated in his new home, everyone on the care team went above and beyond to help our dad acclimate to his new environment. We were impressed by their extensive daily programming designed to engage residents, foster connection, and enhance quality of life. Family members are welcome to participate in a wide range of activities such as crafts, games, music, movies, and religious services, and we enjoyed joining our dad for bingo, trivia, and mass. He also loved the many field trips, holiday parties, and birthday celebrations arranged by the Willows team. The memory care staff was attentive and diligent in assisting with lifestyle needs such as grooming, housekeeping, and laundry. The on-site PT and OT services helped identify adaptive equipment to ensure a safe environment for our dad. In addition, the Director of Nursing provided expert guidance and supportive counsel as our dad’s care needs changed. If you are evaluating memory care facilities, our family highly recommends The Willows at Vernon Terrace. We are so grateful for the love and care they provided our dad, and the kindness they extended to us.

  My almost 90 year old mom moved into Vernon Terrace last August. She receives excellent care here and the experience has allowed our family to have the peace of mind that she is safe, happy and fulfilled. The facility is well maintained, offers excellent meals and plenty of activities. In addition, her apartment is very well appointed and comfortable. This move has been very positive and it is a relief to not have to worry that my mom is getting the care she needs. Great senior living experience!

  My mom didn't want to leave her home of 57 years, but she agreed a Senior Living Community would be safer and provide her a more social setting. We chose Vernon Terrace late last summer because it was a well appointed and maintained facility, not to mention a great location. I'm pleased to see that my mom has been taking advantage of all the activities and events at VT. She plays bingo, goes to movies, exercise class, etc. She uses the van service taking her on group activities to places like Murry's Steak House, Red Lobster, the Swedish Institute, drives through Edina to see the Christmas lights, and shopping. The facilities speak for themselves, but the staff are what make it so great. Whether its the front desk receptionists, maintenance folks, van driver, or management staff and supervisors, they all know my mom by name, making her feel welcome and safe. For me, its peace of mind seeing her flourish and knowing she's in good hands.

  My mother recently moved from her own apartment at Vernon Terrace into the Willows. The staff of both Vernon Terrace and Lifesprk have been incredibly loving and caring, truly looking out for our family’s best interests. Communication is wonderful, activities robust and moms apartment is darling. She feels secure, and so do we. Thank you Willows staff!
