Room was dirty, dingy. Furniture was old and used. We reported dirt on serving tray for 5 weeks. Never cleaned. They never vacuumed under the bed entire stay. Staff needs more training on equipment usage. Equipment was often out of order and had to wait for availability of lift equipment. Wait times for call lights to be answered were often too long. Some staff are very good and they are over worked. Some of the staff do not speak English very clearly and they are hard to understand. That is frustrating for both the patient and the staff. Food was terrible, cold. Food service is unorganized. One person fixes one tray at a time and aids stand and watch and deliver one tray at a time. Takes forever while people wait for meals. Choose a different facility if you can. We do not recommend it. Complaints seemed to make things worse. I was there for re-hab so did not participate in activities.

My brother has been living in assisted living at Walker Place since August. It is perfect for him. It's a vibrant community with independent and assisted living. The staff is wonderful, caring, and supportive. I can go to them if I have any concerns about my brother, and they're taken care of right away. They have a fitness room, a chapel, a medical center next door, meals, metro mobility that can take residents to doctors' appointments, and outings where they use a van. They also have laundry and someone who does weekly cleaning. He has an apartment with a kitchenette, living room, bedroom, and bathroom.

I really liked Walker Methodist. The location was great because it was right in the heart of Minneapolis. It had recently been redone and was beautiful. It was very comfortable, but the bathroom was small, and that was a deal breaker. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly.

I visited Walker Methodist right down the street. There's no nursing home around that doesn't need improvements. Food would do for a nursing home.

Overall the facility is nice. It is kept up well and things always looked very clean. I never heard any complaints on bugs or the conditions. The staff was always friendly and helpful however many do not speak English as their first language and my grandmother stated always having trouble understanding likely due to the language barrier and also to her and the other residents depleting hearing. They have always been very flexible with my family regarding changes to my grandmother's needs and if she is a little late returning home for the evening after visits. Overall, my grandmother and my family are very happy with the continued experience we've had with Walker Methodist. When you hear lot's of stories about the poor treatment of the elderly you can only hope to find a place that lives up to your expectations.

Our grandmother choose this as the place she wanted to live in, after selling her home of 60 years. It was decorated well, there was new carpet and appliances in her apartment, and it was so convenient for her to either have her meals downstairs with her friends or to spend a quiet evening in her apartment. The laundry facility was next door to her apartment as well as the garbage chute. I was impressed with the security of the building, no one was allowed in or out with checking in and this was available 24 hours. The staff was friendly and helpful to her, when required. They definitely keep track of the residents, as when she had not picked up her mail one day, they first called her apartment and when they received no answer, they went into the apartment. This was a lifesaver as she had fallen and broken her hip a few hours earlier and was unable to reach the phone nor cry for help. They saved her life, in my opinion. She was a resident there for 12 years.
