The Gardens at Foley sits in Foley, Minnesota, and has 78 certified beds, serving people from the town and the nearby area, and folks find it's a place with a warm, community feeling, where the staff tries to focus on each person. The nursing home offers skilled nursing care, memory care for those living with Alzheimer's or other dementia, respite care for short stays, and therapy for people needing help to recover, and a lot of people say the staff shows real compassion and does their best for the residents. There's a therapy department that's known for a results-oriented approach, and the care plans get made for each resident's needs, with Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, Nursing Assistants, Dietary Aides, and Cooks all working together to keep residents healthy, fed, and comfortable. The Gardens at Foley is part of Monarch Healthcare Management, which runs for-profit facilities around Minnesota, and the same ownership runs the campus here, offering a continuum of care, which means residents can get different kinds of help all in one place, including Assisted Living, Rehabilitation, Long-Term Care, and Memory Care options.
The nurse staff to resident ratio averages about 3.52 hours per person each day, which can give residents some personal attention, though the nurse turnover rate is high at 57.6%, meaning the nursing team changes pretty often, and that can make things less stable sometimes. Over the years, the facility's inspection reports have listed 23 deficiencies, including 3 problems related to infection, so there's been a mix of good care and some noted issues-some of those can affect quality of life or care standards. The staff do seem dedicated to patient-focused care, and try to put residents and their families first, even as they work to improve. The Gardens at Foley provides services as part of a larger Monarch network, using a team approach and offering several job roles that keep the place running-it's not perfect, but it's a long-standing option for seniors needing different levels of care in Foley.
