My father has been a resident at Boden in Applevalley since April of 2023. I have been very impressed with the CNAs, the nurses, and all of the staff so far. The community is very clean and my dad has been doing good in the memory care unit. As his dementia progresses he has been I need of more help and the staff has been amazing. I have worked in this industry for over 20 years and I’ve seen dozens of communities around the country and I have to say that Boden has ranked very in my opinion.I’m truly very thankful for the staff at Boden for providing my dad a safe place and it has given me a chance to take a breath. Dementia sucks and it’s different for everyone but it’s a good feeling knowing my dad is in good hands.Thank you to all the staff!!!

My mom was so happy living at Boden Senior Living. She made instant friends with both the staff and residents. When I would visit, residents would stop by to check on her because she missed lunch or an activity. Her life was filled with cheerful, caring, and compassionate people.Her move to Boden was late in her life, and her time there was less than she wanted. But every minute she resided at Boden, she knew she was loved and cherished as a member of the Boden tribe.I recommend Boden Senior Living to anyone searching for a new home for themselves or a loved one. I wasn’t disappointed. And I don’t think you will be either.

My family member was at Boden 5 months. He was removed due to unsafe conditions. We had to bring him groceries because he stated the food was either cold or "terrible ". Nurses ignored family requests. After moving him to another facility, we realized Boden was causing more harm than good.

BEWARE. My father was in memory care at BODEN. I am an RN and have been a nurse 40 years . I was shocked by the lack of safe care from the nursing staff. I was very involved & present 2-3 days a week. I will say there are a few excellent aides and Cory was a great support to our family- that is why I rated BODEN a 2 instead of 1. I can also add to the others who stated their loved ones were sent to the hospital due to dehydration. Dad was severely dehydrated even though I asked staff to make sure he was drinking plenty of fluids- (which I was charged for this “extra service” of encouraging fluids)Dad was also exposed to COVID numerous times and as someone with Leukemia, this was life threatening. I arrived to visit one day and he wasn’t in his room so I went looking for him- as he came out of a room of a COVID+ resident. Staff did not follow MN Dept Health guidelines and one staff stated, “You can expect your dad to get COVID- I’m sure they all will”. As a former COVID specialist, I witnessed such dangerous actions that I immediately removed my father from their care.Lastly, BODEN will get families in the door with lower rates but DON’T BE FOOLED. Our rates were increased within weeks and were over $3000 higher within 3 months! Each care level increase averaged $1000! Beware!

It has been a long journey, with both my parents having dementia, to make sure they are safe and happy. I finally have peace of mind knowing they are in the best place they could possibly be. The building is new and beautiful, their apartment is clean and comfortable, the food is perfect for them, there are many activities, and most importantly of all, the staff are all wonderful with my parents, and truly care about their well-being. My parents may not know where they are, but they sure are happy there! And for that I am grateful.So to Kori, Jackie, Kris, Aleah, Connie, Moonah, Russel, Adam and all who care for them, thank you.

My loved one was the third patient admitted to the memory care unit when Boden opened! I was so scared to release their care to anyone but myself. My family could see that I was wearing down and highly encouraged me to try! From the admission assessment to today Jackie the Director of Nursing has never let me down! My loved one adjusted after a few weeks and has had a wonderful time there with Kris the activity director and Corey the marketing director always loving on them and bringing joy and meaning to their days in spite of this awful disease! All the staff work hard to make the facility safe and warm for both family and residents! While no place is perfect these leaders have done an amazing job of creating a warm environment for my loved one! I know now this was the right decision!0

We moved my mother here into the Memory Care unit recently, and are so pleased with both the facility and quality of care she is receiving! The building is clean and nicely equipped. The rooms are nice. And every staff member that I have encountered so far has been extremely pleasant and kind, and it’s clear they care about the residents.
