Century Oaks Appleton, WI

Century Oaks. The place looks good. The management needs a wake up call. People living here are NOT GETTING there CARES ment. Employees always leaving. Understaffed. One nurse for two building. Be careful. Not a good choice for anybody that can't take care of themselves

My mother is at Century Oaks now. Our experience has been very good. The staff is really good and check on my mom and are concerned about her condition. They watch her meds well. The facility is beautiful inside and out. It is made for people in wheelchairs. They have a cover that when you're outside, you can drive underneath, so you don't get wet. They have bingo, play games and they crafts. They try to keep them going. The food is excellent. It's expensive, but it's a lot better than what we had for only $7 more a day.

I will be forever greatful that my Grandpa had the opportunity to live the rest of his life in such a beautiful place with caregivers that not only took care of him but truly loved him. He was able to have the love of his life (Sophie the cat) live with him at Century Oaks. She was also treated like royalty. Century Oaks is the best of the best.

Beautiful Building with lots of caring wonderful staff. Buffet style meals that are delicious.

Century Oaks has an amazing professional and caring staff. Tyshawn, Alyssa, Shannon, Andre', Michaela, Tina and Jamie are one of the best management teams I've ever experienced.

Century Oaks is nice and new. It has a nice patio, a theater, and a spa room. It is a resort-like place, but they are short-staffed, and they are not engaging their residents in activities.

Century Oaks impressed me the most, and it was where I placed my father. It’s a brand new facility, and it just opened up in September. It feels more like a home to people because they do everything for you. It’s like a small apartment, but you had full memory care. The rooms are very large. They’re more like a studio apartment. It comes fully furnished so the individuals have a couch, a desk, night stands, and a little kitchenette area with a microwave, refrigerator, and a sink. There is also a double bed versus a little single bed versus and another sitting area where there are 2 chairs. It’s a full walk-in bathroom with a walk-in shower. There’s also a large walk-in closet with a full-sized washer and dryer in each unit, so it’s really nice. It’s sort of like a hotel. What I like particularly about the place is there’s like a little theater room where they do activities with the individuals. There’s a large screen TV in there where they play movies, and they’ll turn it on for Packer games. They serve popcorn. They do exercise. They have church. Here, it’s buffet style so my father just points to the food he wants, and they have multiple options. There’s always a fruit and a vegetable. They hit all the different food groups. They’re still changing over their staff or trying to get staff, so I don’t think that the housekeepers are that great right now. I’m complaining about the housekeeping, but the rest of it is great. It’s a beautiful facility. It’s really clean, and it doesn’t stink like old people. The halls are very wide and open. They have a beautiful deck off the back that overlooks a pond and a nice sitting area where they have wicker furniture and a gas fire pit out there.

My mother is in Century Oaks. The staff is very good and very friendly. I've been there a couple of times to visit, so they know me and my mother really well. They're assisting her with the stuff she needs. She feels really good there. It's gorgeous inside. They have a crystal chandelier, and the colors are grays and greens, which are very soothing. The room came completely furnished, so we didn't have to bring any of my mother's furniture. They have a beautiful fireplace in the middle of the room. The dining hall is great, and they have a beautiful area to sit in outside. It's not huge, so the same people work with her a lot. There are 48 rooms, which is a good thing. She has her own washing machine and dryer in her room, so none of her clothes ever leave. She has her own shower and bath, plus they have a whirlpool if she wants to do that. Her room is 600 square feet, and it's very nice. It's a little pricier than some of the other ones, though. This is all on one floor, so it's a lot easier for my mom to get around with a walker. They let us decide if this is what we wanted and toured it a couple of times, and I really appreciated that. It's a gated community, and people could come and go, but they keep an eye on them.
