The Cornerstone of Oak Creek

My aunt has lived here for a few years now. Everytime I visit, there are always things going on in the main area. It is very home-like and the employees are friendly. My aunt seems to be doing better than ever since she has lived there. I am very glad my sister found this place.

Ask. Question. View. Wish I would have! Food isn't quality. Breakfast is pre packaged foods. No help. Walk past the desk and see nobody. Look how many times monthly an activity is cancelled. The very least a place should have are CNA's. Not enough here!

My parents-in-law lived at The Cornestone. The place had very nice little apartments. There was also a social area where the residents met and mingled. But there were no aids and nurses present all the time. Only a receptionist was there who gave the medicines, but did not administer it. My mother-in-law was diabetic and she was on insulin. She gave the insulin to herself because no one was around to help her. She was also incontinent and I went to their place every other day to clean up. They helped with the shower once a week. The housekeeping and laundry was done sporadically. The facility was nice if the resident was kind of independent.

The Cornerstone assisted living facility in Oak Creek, Wisconsin looked like a nice place to live. We were searching for a new home for our uncle. The exterior was really beautiful and it resembled a high end condo building. We could see that they really took the time to design the facility with the seniors' needs in mind. This facility had ample communal rooms including a library and the ability to participate in a number of stimulating activities. The residents may also safely navigate the lovely grounds for exercise. The exercise center includes daily yoga and aerobics exercise classes. The equipment is available throughout the day and they also offer instruction on DVD. Residents can also safely navigate the lovely garden pathways and courtyards. Private apartments were thoughtfully designed with beautiful living spaces that featured larger rooms, full kitchens with eat-in areas and all of the perks you'd find in a well-thought out apartment complex, but a few more, such as safety and security features. The special care program is designed to accommodate any level of ambulation and care, which changes according to the resident's needs. The dining room offers a breakfast buffet and evening dinner - with lunch offered as individually required. Most of the residents here are able to either prepare their own lunch or easily visit a nearby restaurant. The menus offered a variety of foods and there were snacks available as requested. The calendar of events was one of the most comprehensive we've seen thus far. The variety of activities included anything one could possibly think of and a few more. From festivals to parades, shopping, culture, eateries, art, music, library and films - it was all there. The residents are also treated to many socials planned right there in the building. The staff was very kind, caring and accessible throughout our visit. They check on all of the residents regularly to ensure their safety and comfort. It was clear to us that the residents here really enjoy living there and that it would be a great place for any senior to retire and be treated with dignity and respect as they deserve.
