Assisted Living Communities in Greendale, WI

"Harmony is fine, and he is still adjusting at being there. I think it will take him time. We were just surprised at the cost of the places we were looking at. In the end, it was just a matter of finding one in the right area that would suit his needs. We picked it because it is the closest to where he used to live, and they had an available room right away. He was transferring from a rehab facility, and they were suddenly releasing him when we weren't expecting it, so we had to find something rather quickly. We narrowed it down and then chose what we thought would work the best. Harmony seems to meet his needs. The staff seems very responsive and very friendly. We liked that the place is small. There are only 46 beds, so it is not too big. It is all on one floor so this way he doesn't have to go far to get to the dining room or the facilities that he needs to go to because he doesn't walk very well. It is very nice. "

"We're moving into Library Square Senior Living. We like the place. The apartment was bigger than the one I had looked at. It had a dishwasher, but some didn't. It is the most affordable for us. It is bright and cheerful. The apartment has a stove, a refrigerator, and a dishwasher. The staff who took us around was wonderful. They provide 20 meals apiece per month and we can choose between lunch and dinner. We have a patio-like, little deck with our apartment. Not all apartments have that, but we're on the first floor and we have one. However, they're remodeling all the common spaces right now."

"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. "

"It was a nice facility, but it was apartments and not what I wanted with the assisted living. The 1-bedroom apartments were beautiful. They had a galley kitchen, which is basically all you need, and a nice-sized living room and bedroom. You had your bathroom, a walk-in closet, and a closet for storage. They were pretty good-sized apartments. I could picture myself living in one when I get older. The staff was very helpful, very friendly and outgoing. They would bend over backwards just to help you figure out what it was you were looking for."

"Howard Village Senior Living is pretty much what I am looking for. However, I wanted a better exercise room, and they only have a few little things: a bike, but not a full gym. The staff was very welcoming, very friendly, and very thorough. The building was excellent. It was very clean, very neat, very bright, and had a welcoming environment."

"Each resident has a good sized room with a bathroom that includes a walk-in shower. Residents are very well cared for and the food is very good."

"I toured Hart Park Square Senior Living. I liked that they showed me several models. I liked that there's an emergency switch in each of the models, and they said you flip this one switch by 9 a.m. because if your light doesn't light up, they call you on. If you don't answer your phone, they come up and knock on your door. And, if you don't answer that, they use the key to come in and check on you. They supply all the appliances, like a stove, refrigerator, and microwave. The staff was congenial, answered my questions, and didn't rush me."

"My mother is in Oak Creek Place. The staff has been very helpful and understanding. The food I've eaten there was good. The overall care has been what I would consider to be relatively good in that my mom has incontinence and sometimes they don't get to her soon enough, but for the most part they have been very helpful and patient with her. They have all kinds of activities and a theater. They constantly play games and have family nights and Fridays they have music. The residents are happy. Overall, it's a nice facility."

"We toured Discovery Commons Brookfield. I viewed a one-bedroom apartment. It was very nice. It's a beautiful facility. It's quite glamorous. It's larger. I thought it looked nice. They take care of their employees very well. I was told that they're really into making their employees happy, which will make the residents happy. They offer a lot of care for assisted living. My first impression is that the people aren't quite as sick as they are at the other facility. They rejected my aunt at the last minute. They did an assessment, which was rushed. Maybe they don't feel capable for people who need a lot of care and daily attention. My aunt is still somewhat bedbound. It hasn't been that long since she had her surgery. She needs a lot of physical therapy. She's 100 years old. You can't expect her to be in the condition of a 70-year-old, I guess, which is what I'm getting at. The staff that I met, the director and her assistant, were good. It's very clean and organized. They had a library. It's two-story, and the hallways are so long. I mean, I kept picturing my aunts navigating those halls."

"My father moved into Oak Park Place Wauwatosa. It is close to where I live. It was within our price range, and it just looked good. We liked the fact that they seemed to help us with everything to get him in when we were kind of in a hurry. They seemed to take care of everything that we needed. The staff is good. It's kind of a work in progress. He likes the food, but I wish there are different options for him for different times."

"I am in Brookdale Place Brookfield. They have very nice people, but the staff is changing quickly. They are not paid enough. You will have care, but you have to know exactly what you want because they are in within a minute, and then they're gone and turn to someone else. They have a lot of people they have to care for. If you ask them to do something, they may or may not do it depending on the job, and if takes five minutes, you'll probably not have it. My room is a mess. It looks like a teenager lives there because it is very difficult for me to clean something up, especially when I have no place to put anything, so I ended up messing it up more than anything else. That's what I am looking at, more space and a one-on-one type. They have very good food. They have activities, but we don't go out more. However, they are very expensive. I am being charged $50,000 a year to live here, and I don't have an income like that because my income is only $43,000 a year. "

"We went to visit Abundant Life Manor assisted living facility while in the area, searching for a place for our aunt to live. They graciously allowed us to take a tour, despite the fact that we did not have an appointment. We could immediately see that the staff was caring and kind and the residents well tended. The outside area was very nicely maintained. The foyer was fresh, bright and nicely appointed. The grounds also offer easy access for residents, where they can enjoy walking around freely safely each day. There was also plenty of space to have parties and picnics. The facility can accommodate all levels of ambulation. Communal activity rooms were spacious with comfortable furnishings. Seniors can easily socialize, play games, read, watch TV and take part in many stimulating activities. Private living spaces rooms were spacious in nicely decorated surroundings. Each had a great deal of natural light and fresh air with very comfortable furniture. All of the indoor rooms had plenty of light and fresh air and all were beautifully decorated and furnished. The building colors were soothing and comfortable. The dining rooms were nice, with plenty of space. The foods looked and smelled appetizing. The menus options were plentiful and designed for diet types. They also offered healthy snacks during the day and made them available anytime requested. The exercise room had nice machines that seniors can use supervised, if they desire. They also offered daily and nature walks as an option. Aerobics and yoga classes are offered and encouraged. The residents also go on many trips to visit Milwaukee's art galleries and museums. They also regularly eat at casual and fine restaurants as well as other interesting events around town. This facility is very nicely maintained with kind and caring staff that take very good care of all of the residents. "
