Living at an Ebenezer Community
The Success Stories
For more than 100 years, Ebenezer has lived out our mission of treating older adults with dignity, compassion, and care. We encourage our residents, families and their loved ones to let us know how we’re doing and how can do better. These past two years have been hard on all of us. Take a look at what our residents and their families have to say about the difference we’ve made in their lives.

"I enjoy living at Arbor Glen; it’s a smaller community with a great layout and a strong sense of family. The staff is kind and always willing to help. I feel that I’m well taken care of. I love the walking paths and visiting with my neighbors. I’m close to my daughter and that’s the icing on the cake! I’m glad to call Arbor Glen home!”
-Bev S., Arbor Glen Senior Living
“Very hospitable yet solidly safe. Great staff, from those providing care for us residents up through those welcoming visitors. Good Kitchen! Imaginative activities staff and good programs. Very well-maintained building and grounds. Rustic setting, yet convenient to Mayo hospital and large concentration of retail and service facilities."
-Bill F., Deer Crest Senior Living
"Our move to Savage Senior Living has provided many of the positive qualities for which we were looking: rental property, several levels of care, a competent friendly staff, a great chef, transportation for shopping and excursions, and activities for all levels of involvement. All this and more, is here in a modern community, free of the everyday duties of life!”
-Anonymous Resident, Savage Senior Living at Fen Pointe
A Family Member's Perspective
"Our mother moved into the memory care unit at the Sanctuary and was there for two months until her passing. The staff there was great and took very good care of her. I would recommend this facility to anyone looking to have a loved one taken care of."
-Christopher H., The Sanctuary at Brooklyn Center
"My mother has had all levels of elder care in the past five years, and much of it was sub par. Coming to Deephaven Woods was a breath of fresh air from the moment we walked in the door. Everyone from the wait staff to cleaning crew, and of course, the medical staff has been welcoming and attentive. Just a marvelous overall experience for my mom!"
-Nancy N., Deephaven Woods Senior Living
"I moved my mother into The Orchards last year in the midst of Covid 19. I can't say enough about the precautions and care that the staff have given to the residents! The Orchards is a beautiful, welcoming environment, and my 93 year old mother is SO happy being a resident!"
-Sue K., The Orchards of Minnetonka
"I've experienced many different caregiving situations with my parents over the past twenty years spanning a variety of nursing homes and in-home caregiving agencies. At 95 my father's needs are complex, but not life threatening. He is medically frail, yet mentally sharp. The staff at Ebenezer/Trails of Orono understand what it is to be an elder. They manage the day-to-day caregiving with a level of grace, ease and expertise that has allowed Grandpa Ray the freedom to enjoy this stage in his life, develop new friendships and build on his interests in a way that hadn't been available to him for some time."
-Ruthmary E.N., Trails of Orono
"My mom moved in a few weeks ago and the transition has been wonderful. The amazing staff is compassionate, skilled and kind. The beautiful facility is thoughtfully designed and the apartments feel warm and spacious. To top it off, the food is great! Mom was very apprehensive about moving from her long-time home to an assisted living facility. (In fact, the whole family was nervous!) But soon our doubts and fears disappeared, and everyone is now much relieved that mom is now in a safe and secure environment."
-Anonymous Family Member, Stirlingshire of Coralville
