What this means for your family

Edenbrook of St. Cloud is frequently praised for its effective physical therapy and kind, dedicated staff, making it a common choice for short-term rehab. However, families should be aware of significant, recurring reports regarding poor communication and slow response times, especially on weekends.

Questions for Your Tour

  • 1I noticed that the facility is very active in responding to online feedback; how do you use that family input to improve the daily experience for residents?
  • 2Since physical and occupational therapy are such strong points here, how do you ensure that progress continues once a resident transitions from rehab to long-term care?
  • 3What is your current protocol for monitoring call lights to ensure that residents receive timely assistance when they need it?
  • 4Given that managing chronic conditions like diabetes requires close attention, what does your process look like for coordinating care between nursing staff and external medical specialists?
  • 5I understand communication with families is a priority; what is the best way for us to stay in regular contact with the social work team regarding our loved one's care plan?
  • 6Could you walk us through the daily activity schedule and how you help residents stay engaged and social throughout the week?

Key Review Excerpts

The building is a bit outdated but they are working on updates. He is so clearly well cared for and all the staff are kind and attentive.

Short-term rehab family member · 2024★★★★★

The memory care side provided my dad with a year and a half of exceptional care, compassion, and comfort until he passed. The nurses and CNAs delivered outstanding care, addressing any issues promptly and professionally.

Memory care family member · 2024★★★★

My husband was sent there from the hospital. He went in on a Friday and I pulled him out on Sunday... They never answered there phones, he had to wait for over an hour after he pushed the nurses call button.
