Edina Heights Senior Living

Edina Heights Senior Living, formerly Brookdale Edina, is a senior living community in Minneapolis that receives mixed reviews from residents and their families. Many praise the facility for its vibrant community, friendly and caring staff, and a wide range of activities, including music programs, exercise classes, and outings. The facility is noted for its cleanliness, good food, and the welcoming atmosphere created by both staff and residents. The connection to Edinborough Park, which offers additional recreational opportunities, is also appreciated. However, some residents express concerns about the HVAC system, particularly in south-facing apartments, which can lead to uncomfortable temperature extremes. Management's handling of the heating and cooling system is criticized, with some believing cost-saving measures are prioritized over resident comfort. Additionally, the facility's high-rise nature and location near busy roads are seen as drawbacks by some, affecting views and noise levels. While the staff-to-resident ratio is generally praised, there are occasional mentions of understaffing in assisted living and memory care areas. The facility's pricing is considered high by some, and the lack of in-unit washers and dryers is noted as a downside. Despite these issues, many residents and their families recommend Brookdale Edina for its overall care, community spirit, and the quality of life it offers.
