About Tradition

from Oasis Senior Advisors

Tradition in Brooklyn Park, MN, offers both assisted-living and independent-living options tailored to meet the diverse needs of its residents. For those in need of medical support, the facility accommodates a variety of specialized health requirements, including oxygen therapy and dietary management for residents with diabetes, whether on oral medications or injections. While the community does not support dementia conditions, it provides essential assistance for individuals under 60 years old, ensuring that all medical needs are addressed comprehensively. Qualified nursing staff, including registered nurses (RN) and licensed practical nurses (LPN), are available on-site, along with a 24-hour nurse on call to address emergency needs or ongoing health monitoring.

In addition to medical care, Tradition offers a wide range of personal assistance services, including full support for bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. The facility ensures safe mobility with transfer services, which include support for residents using walkers and wheelchairs, as well as standby supervision. This commitment extends to specialized on-site medical services, such as psychiatric care and podiatry, reinforcing the facility's focus on enabling residents to maintain their independence while receiving the necessary support for their health concerns.

Residents at Tradition can expect comfortable accommodations with private bathrooms, independent temperature controls, kitchenettes, and cable TV, though not all rooms may have every feature. The ability for residents to personalize their living space is encouraged, allowing for painting and decorating to reflect their individual styles. Independent Living residents also benefit from convenient services such as laundry, monthly meal plans, and housekeeping to support a more hassle-free lifestyle.

The community provides various amenities designed to enhance the living experience. Residents can enjoy communal gardens, on-site religious services, and a wellness center, along with access to a movie room and an exercise room. Parking is available for residents, and the facility is wheelchair accessible, with transportation services close to public transit options. Pets are allowed, making it a welcoming environment for animal companions, but it's a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. This array of features fosters a supportive, engaging, and comfortable atmosphere for all residents at Tradition.

#1 in Brooklyn Park, MN

Residents and their families say:

This community receives high praise from residents and their families for its friendly and caring atmosphere. Many reviewers highlighted the welcoming nature of both staff and residents, which creates a supportive and family-like environment. The facilities are described as clean, modern, and well-maintained, offering a range of amenities that residents find enjoyable. Activities are diverse and designed to accommodate various interests, from social gatherings to educational pursuits. The community's approach to "aging in place" and service customization also appears to be attractive to many families.

There are, however, some criticisms, particularly regarding the quality of food, which more than one reviewer mentioned has declined, specifically noting a lack of vegetable options that might impact residents' health. Additionally, a few reviews cited smaller apartment sizes and slow maintenance services as areas for improvement. Despite these concerns, many families and residents appreciate the affordable pricing, which is structured according to the services used, providing flexibility and value.

The staff's dedication is frequently noted, with many reviews expressing gratitude for the kindness and support provided, especially during challenging times like the COVID-19 pandemic. The culinary department and dining services receive mixed reviews, but the efforts to maintain fine dining standards are acknowledged by several reviewers. In summary, the community is well-regarded for its atmosphere, affordability, and adaptability to residents' needs, with those positive aspects outweighing most of the noted drawbacks.
