Centennial Gardens for Nursing and Rehabilitation sits in a quiet part of Crystal, Minnesota, and has been serving the area since 1984, offering skilled nursing care, assisted living, memory care for Alzheimer's and dementia, and rehabilitation services like physical, occupational, and speech therapy for adults with different needs. The facility holds 115 certified beds, accepts Medicare and Medicaid, and provides respite care for families that need temporary support, which really helps out caregivers who need a break. The rooms come fully furnished with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, telephones, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi, which makes it easier for residents to settle in, and everyone can join in on daily activities, movie nights, music programs, and both community-sponsored and resident-run events, all meant to help seniors stay social and active.
People living there or staying for short-term care can spend time in the fitness room, community dining area, wellness center, library, gaming room, beauty salon, or outside in the garden and walking paths, where there's always something going on or a quiet spot to rest, and Centennial Gardens offers scheduled transportation for non-medical needs too. Staff is there around the clock for support and supervision, including a 24-hour call system, and helpers provide assistance with daily activities like bathing, dressing, medication management, and transfers, plus medical care for those recovering after an illness, surgery, or hospital stay. There's a focus on each person's health and safety, with attention to both emotional and physical well-being, and a commitment to keeping everything clean and secure, including a sprinkler system for fire safety.
Families looking for care options get help from staff in finding the right fit for each resident's needs and financial situation since options are customizable, and though no resident reviews are published to date, tools are available online to help families search for information and ratings. Centennial Gardens has had two facility incidents, three substantiated complaints, and total fines of $8,125 in recent years, with recent ownership changes and some challenges reflected in ratings-a 1 out of 5 health rating, a 2 out of 5 staff rating, a 3 out of 5 for quality, and an overall MediCare.gov rating of 1 out of 5. There's a staff of English speakers, a transitional care unit, and a therapeutic recreation program, along with resident and family councils. The facility doesn't publish prices but will give details upon request. With a peaceful neighborhood setting, Centennial Gardens focuses on helping seniors feel comfortable, supported, and connected to family, even though the rankings and ratings do show there's work to do.
