Assisted Living Communities in Beaver Dam, WI

"Faith Gardens was fantastic, I would recommend them any time, any place. The staff was very warm and welcoming. The clients were smiling and all seemed happy. They have different size rooms, and each one had their own bathroom, a nice closet, and some shelves. The rooms were a decent size, and overall, we were highly impressed. "

"LakeHouse Lake Mills was very nice. The rooms were really nice and very spacious. The bathrooms were a bit smaller but still nice. The facility has two wings, but it's small and homey. They have a big common area that they utilize well between dining and activities. They were extremely kind and informative and took the time to speak to me and answer all my questions in detail. Their team was ready to get my grandpa in the facility, which was great. He just chose the other one."

"My mom and dad are both in need of care but my dad has had multiple surgeries and in rehabilitation. When my mom could no longer stay with him, Sterling House offered a respite care service to my mom. The people at Sterling House have been a Godsend to me and my family. I think this is the first time in a long time my mom is actually enjoying herself. "

"Mom moved into Prairie Gardens. When we first took her there to tour the place, she immediately liked it. She liked the atmosphere, which was cozy and friendly. The food is wonderful. The plates and the food are always warm. The staff is very attentive, and they keep the call time to five minutes, ten minutes at the most. They come in and they ask if there's anything else that Mom needs help with. Anything we needed was gotten there right away. We are really happy and she's happy. Mom's room has a path for her wheelchair. It has a large bathroom that she could get into, and everything is arranged nicely. The facility is an older building, but is well kept. Within the one week that she's been there, they had a Halloween craft, bingo, and movies. They have a beauty shop on Thursdays."

"We physically toured Talamore Senior Living. The tour was very informative. The manager was very pleasant, and she answered all our questions. We looked at a two-bedroom apartment. They have lots of activities. The nice thing about Talamore is that when you need assisted living, they bring people to your apartment, and you do not need to move out of the apartment that you're in. They just increase the fee to reflect what services you need. It's a nice business model. As for amenities, they have a place for coffee in the morning, a craft room, and raised garden beds outside so you can garden in the summer. They have an activities director. However, it was way out of our budget. They had 10 breakfasts, 10 lunches, and 10 dinners included in the rent per person."

"My mother has moved into Prairie Ridge Assisted Living. They have been awesome and helping me place my mom. It's very, very clean. The rooms are very clean. They supply toiletries and paper towel dispensers. The staff is very caring. They make sure that the residents are down for their meals, and if they can't make it down, they bring their meals to them. They have activities for them to do which they encourage them to participate in. The staff interacts very well with the residents. I'm very pleased with them. The food is good. There are good portions. My mom has not had any complaints about the food. Yesterday, they had a field trip to Fond du Lac, Hobby Lobby, and Gilles. They have bingo, and today they had KerPlunk. One thing I like is every day they have exercise, two sessions, one at 10:00 and one at 2:00. They have card games, they have a puzzle in the main area for all the residents to work on, and they had an ice cream social last Friday for the residents. They have a coffee social. They have a church that the residents could participate in. They have bowling, beach volleyball, arts and crafts, and they did painting, and Halloween coloring. Every day, they have stuff for them to participate in."

"Remembrance Home is a place that I was looking at for my friend. Actually she was on their waitlist. It's small, so my friend would not get lost. Everything is in a circle; she would always end up back at the same place she started. They have a non-denominational pastor coming in. There is a mass service and a Sunday morning service. They have a salon area, too. I also saw some of the people reading. I would give this place a 5 because if they had an opening when my friend had to go some place, that's where she would have went."

"We visited Eagles Wings while in the area looking at assisted living facilities to consider for our uncle. The outside had lovely grounds with nicely landscaped shrubs, trees and lawns as well as ample seating areas.We could see that they can accommodate a variety of ambulation levels and as needs change, the care team adjusts accordingly. There were ample community rooms for a variety of stimulating activities such as reading, games, socials, physical exercise and hosted events The fitness center had regular exercise classes, such as stretch and yoga and aerobics classes. There are also personal trainers who come regularly to instruct the residents. The meal menus all had healthy food options for all kinds of diets, as well as healthy snacks regularly offered whenever residents request them.The dining room was nicely designed with comfortable furnishings. The meals we saw looked and smelled appetizing. The outside activities feature many interesting cultural events in the wonderful Beaver Dam and surrounding areas, like films, art and other interesting cultural gatherings. The private spaces had nice, personalized decorations and easy access furnishings with privacy, fresh air and light. We were impressed with how nicely designed all of the living spaces were, and how comfortable the seniors appeared. The staff was also very tender, thoughtful and accommodating. "

"My mother-in-law is in Matthews of Horicon. The overall experience is fair. We like the activities director and the homey feeling. The thing we like least about it is that they are understaffed. Half of the staff members are great, and half of them suck. My mother-in-law hasn't had any complaints about the food. They have a salon."

"I wouldn't let my pet stay in this facility. The management is only concerned about their paycheck and maintaining their 20+ year of control. Residents are routinely denied general pain reliever, restricted fluids & given poor unhealthy food choices - despite the provider's claims. Psychiatric re-evaluation occurs only once every 3 months and does not involve any staff except the manager of the facility. Residents are responsible for all snow removal. Staff are highly unprofessional - bring their pets to the facility or their children during their working hours. "

"My grandparents were at Marvin's Manor. They loved all the staff and got excellent care."

"My in-laws moved to The Meadows of Fall River, and the thing we liked about it was, that it wasn't as separated as some of the other ones that we were shown. They co-mingle a lot of the individuals as much as they can, keeping them separated for what they need and what their situation is. But it's nice that they allow the individuals to be in a community instead of, this building, that building, this wing, that wing, kind of thing. And they can't go from place to place. They had a common space, and then you could go off and be in your quiet area or where you needed certain other things that individuals do, so it was pretty cool. My mother-in-law has Alzheimer's and dementia. As for the medical care, they bridged the medical needs of my father-in-law so that they could stay together. They had a meal last night, and my mother-in-law's was gone in seconds. My father-in-law isn't eating his food. He's basically in his last days, but the food looks good. They have three activities each day, like bingo, balloon volleyball, and different things. They also have exercise classes for the individuals. They have entertainment periodically that comes in from the outside. With all of the amenities that we got, they were a lot more reasonable than the other ones we looked at."

"My mom moved to Prairie Ridge Assisted Living. The individual apartments are quite sizable. The staff has been very friendly and open throughout the process and accommodating. Everything's very easy to get to. The halls are nice and wide. I wish they had central air, other than that everything is very clean and easily accessible. I've only had one meal there. The dining area is pretty basic. They have tables and staff who bring the meal to you, but it's just your basic open space. They had a fair amount of activities for the residents to partake in. They have somebody who can come in and do the residents' hair for a fee. They have dietary staff. They have an exercise area and exercise equipment. They've got a chapel. It's pretty expensive. It's probably on the lower end of other facilities from a cost perspective, but a lot of that has to do with location."
