About Beacon Hill

Beacon Hill is an independent living community located in Minneapolis, serving older adults who are looking for a low-maintenance lifestyle within a community setting. This type of community is generally best suited to seniors who can live on their own but prefer to leave behind the responsibilities of home upkeep in favor of a more social, supportive environment. Families considering Beacon Hill for a parent or partner should know that the community's specific daily offerings, such as dining options, activities, and outdoor spaces, are best confirmed directly with the community. Prospective residents and their families are encouraged to reach out to Beacon Hill to learn more about what day-to-day life looks like there, including any opportunities for social engagement, faith-based programming, or policies on visiting and pets. Minneapolis offers a range of cultural and recreational opportunities that may appeal to residents and visiting family members alike. As an independent living option, Beacon Hill is generally a good fit for seniors who do not require assistance with daily personal care or medical supervision, but who value the convenience and companionship that community living can provide.

My mom has lived in the independent living building at Beacon Hill for 1.5 years and is thriving there. She previously lived 1 mile away for 47 years. I love that she is still close to her bank, grocery store, and post office. It's a great spot in the Glen Lake area of Minnetonka. When I was looking at places for my mom to consider, I was fresh off of my dad being horribly neglected in memory care at a facility just 2.4 miles from Beacon Hill. That facility was owned by a large corporation that owns over 140 senior communities throughout the country. I love that Presbyterian Homes is a non-profit organization that only owns Presbyterian Homes communities. Last year, I attended the social celebrating Beacon Hill's 30th anniversary. Melissa was an incredibly helpful and gentle guide as we navigated the process of getting my mom ready to move. The staff at Beacon Hill have low turnover and are invested in their community (which is the opposite of what I experienced with my dad at the horrible place). When I was in high school 25+ years ago, I worked in the kitchen at Beacon Hill. It was a nice place to work back then. My brother worked in the kitchen and maintenance shortly after me when he was in high school. He also enjoyed his time there. My husband's great grandparents thrived at Beacon Hill a couple of decades ago. In recent years, some of my parents' long-time neighbors have moved to Beacon Hill. My mom loves the weekly optional Monday morning meeting with refreshments where residents learn about what's going on in their community and have an opportunity to connect with each other. She eats dinner several nights a week as her schedule allows. The socialization and nutrition play a key role in her continued thriving lifestyle. The common areas of the building are currently being renovated which is nice, but what really matters at a senior living community is the COMMUNITY. Beacon Hill has what it takes to be a welcoming, loving, senior community. The staff truly k

My mom has been living at Beacon Hill for 10+ years. She has had apartments in both The Terrace (independent living) and The Commons (assisted living). In both cases, the apartments are well designed and nicely kept. The care she has received has been tender and loving, and we are so comforted knowing that she is in such good hands! The kitchen staff come to know the residents well enough to know what they like (and what they don't!). One day my mom said, "I ordered a waffle for breakfast, and Randy put a blueberry in each of the little holes!" She was thrilled, and so were we! Thank you all for going above and beyond for the residents in your care.

My wife and I have lived at Beacon Hill Terrace just two months. We sold our home of 47 years within a few days of moving in. The city of Minnetonka has been a favorite for many years. Just a year ago we came to look at the community. The experienced staff including Melissa and Luke welcomed us and introduced us to residents and staff as we looked at a two bedroom apartment. Several months later we got the call that there was an upcoming vacancy. We had already toured several other facilities over the past few years and were on waiting lists. We liked Beacon Hill best. It is surrounded by a beautiful neighborhood with mature trees and nearby parks. The grounds, that is our back yard, is magnificent. The people who live here are kind, thoughtful, wise and welcoming. The community hums with cheerful resident volunteers. It’s great that it is a non profit institution. You may think rent is high but If you are accustomed to the expense and work of home ownership you should be prepared for a drastic decrease in both. Heat, AC, water, garbage, recycling, snow removal, landscape maintenance, and taxes are included. My electric bill is a miniature of my previous one. My renter’s insurance is a tiny fraction of homeowner’s insurance. And there are two friendly and skillful handymen who respond quickly to phone requests for repairs. I have seen spare appliances in the basement. The apartments have an efficient laundry in each apartment. Ours is a Bosch which is premium stuff. The building is always clean. There is an evening meal available with reservation. That can be an occasional relief or a bit of regular help. There is a savings if one buys a subscription. We cook… but go for the companionship sometimes. Heated parking is available for small charge. They have several transportation events scheduled in a comfortable vehicle with an excellent driver. We feel completely at home and are fond of our neighbors. If we are fortunate enough to eventually need more care it is av

After dragging their heels for years, my parents loved their time here and wished they hadn’t taken so long to make the move. It is a lovely place lead and cared for by lovely people of faith. We’re grateful for the gift it was to our parents, and us as a result. Their end unit overlooking the woods was so peaceful with a lot of glorious light, which Mom especially loved.

We have a friend who has lived here for several years now. Any time we visit the staff is very friendly and helpful. I had heard good things about Presbyterian Homes and have been impressed by this location. Clean, not so big that you feel "lost"... Very nice array of activities from what I've seen. They are definitely doing something right!!
