Our Testimonials

Experience Minnesota nice for yourself.

We can’t thank you enough.
Over the last seven years, but particularly over the last two weeks, my wife and I have been witnesses to the quality of care you provided to my mom. We can’t thank you enough for the attention and care you provided to her during this trying time for our family and for her. You definitely helped her exit this world with dignity and comfort. When we weren’t there, we knew she was still being treated well and attended to. All of you were professional in your duties, but it is much more than that. It is the pride and affection that you bring the residents that really stood out.

“Minnesota nice” is real!
What a warm welcome I have received from my fellow residents. People come up to me and introduce themselves, and then introduce me to their friends in the elevator, dining hall, and at various events. “Minnesota nice” is real!

Intellectually stimulating environment.
We have chosen to leave our lovely ranch in the mountains of New Mexico and retire at Charter House. The loving support, compassionate care, and intellectually stimulating environment at Charter House, as well as the extraordinary medical care we have received at Mayo Clinic over the decades, actually made the decision easy.

We are so pleased with our decision.
My wife and I are celebrating our first year at Charter House. We are so pleased with our decision to move to this wonderful place. The staff have far exceeded our expectations. We originally chose Charter House because we wanted to be surrounded by people who have that Mayo Clinic work ethic, and certainly, we have experienced that aspect! Staff always does everything they can to please us and to go the ‘second mile’ to make our experience here at Charter House as pleasing as possible.
