Benedictine Living Community-New Brighton

Benedictine 28Apr - 25Jun2025 Due to a very negative one week experience in another TCU, I was highly skeptical of everything at Benedictine. I viewed every action as though it might be another act of neglect. It took nearly two weeks to feel safe. Through that time, every Aide, Nurse, Therapist, Cleaning Person, and Administrator made it clear they would watch over me, helping me recover my health. Kindness and empathy were the watchwords they showed me. I learned many of their names and histories. I'd been at Benedictine for about three months. In that time, I'd grown to see them as family.

I would rate the physical therapy higher - four or five stars. Most nursing staff were also very good.

This was my first experience being away from home for any length of time since I retired and our children have grown up. The description of services describe Harmony, hospitality, respect and commitment to those that are in their care, and assist with support, pray and have lead to compassion for Christ as our bodies grow older.

The teams of RNs and CNAs are welcoming and they do all they can to understand . Laura Anderson from the Wellness Center earns honorable mention for being a strong
