Our Experience
The staff at Okalee of Medina is good, but we are not happy with all of the hidden costs that were not explained at the beginning and they say how they have a shuttle that goes out every week, which is true, but it is a joke. It only holds a few people and is nearly impossible to get on.

Found the right spot
I am delighted that we found Okalee as a place for my mom. It is large enough to have the amenities she wanted but small enough to easily navigate. To a person the staff has been warm and helpful, and the space is beautiful. I’m grateful we found a safe, welcoming space for my mom and look forward to her making new friends and engaging in new activities.

Mom loves Okalee, but wishes they would improve frequency of transportation options
The activities at Okakee are great. Their support for transportation is weak, and my mom feels it was not what she signed up for. They no longer have a shuttle. No plans to get one. Only 2 round trip rides provided a month. Without the shuttle, the residents need more options. Their "cost" for a resident to use their car service outside of the monthly allotment is highway robbery. It is a real opportunity for them. I know they are filling up, but they are falling very short on this area. It is a great place and my mom is very happy there--but that is the one issue people need to know (and I wish they would stop ignoring it). [name removed] is awesome and their activities coordinator is fantastic.

In my opinion there are management concerns by putting business considerations above the residents (not mentioning the frequent train horns during the night), handling safety issues, hiring and letting go and of employees, making rules after the fact, and I question the treatment of one (now dead) resident in the assisted living program.

be weary of the building management, disappointed, do not recommend
They made some major mistakes and did not take responsibility. I would be weary of the building management. They really need to improve on their honesty. I would not recommend Okalee of Medina based off of our families experience there.

We toured Okalee of Medina during our search for an Assisted Living facility for our loved one. This facility was wonderful! The cleanliness and friendliness are great. The food and cost are great, also. I would highly recommend this facility to others.

My Tour Experience at Okalee of Medina
We only visited Okalee and my parents chose to live at Haven Homes in Maple Plain because they offered long term care. The standard one bedroom apartment was small and laid out strangely. The people were helpful as e tried to make decisions.

Small, Close Knit Community
The staff has been good at communicating with the family. The community is small for memory care, and it is new. They only have 12 residents for memory care residents. I think this is perfect!

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Minnesota regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Minnesota regulations for Assisted Living.

Frequently Asked Questions
about Okalee of Medina

Okalee of Medina offers Studio, 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedrooms. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored Okalee of Medina 8.2 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
