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.

Residents and their families say:

This community receives high praise for its vibrant atmosphere, variety of activities, excellent dining options, and caring staff. Many residents and their families appreciate the cleanliness and modern amenities of the facility, including well-appointed apartments with full kitchens, laundry facilities, and balconies for fresh air. The staff's friendliness and professionalism were frequently mentioned, alongside the broad range of activities designed to cater to a variety of interests, including off-site excursions. The quality of the food and the culinary team's willingness to accommodate dietary restrictions received particular commendation. The facility's commitment to creating a family-like environment where residents can participate as much or as little as they please contributes to a highly positive living experience.

However, some criticisms were noted, including concerns about the size of the apartments and the speed of maintenance responses. The most significant challenge mentioned across reviews pertains to adjustments in the dining experience, with one reviewer noting a decline in meal quality and variety after changes in the restaurant staff. Additionally, issues such as delayed maintenance requests and staff turnover caused concern for some families, highlighting areas for improvement. Despite these concerns, the overwhelming majority of feedback is positive, with many expressing satisfaction with their decision to make this community their home, praising the facility's ability to adapt to their growing needs and the genuine care displayed by the staff.
