Assisted Living Communities in Jefferson, WI

"Stoughton Meadows has a team of individuals that are there for reasons beyond employment. This review is pure and true from my experiences received each time I visited my mother, which was 2x (minimum), during the week and then at least once each weekend, for 9 months. I hadn't ever really spent much time in a care giving or Healthcare facility, at leas not as much time as I had prior to my mom becoming a resident at Stoughton Meadows. I never really understood the whole care giving aspect of things, truly never understood why people would want to be a caregiver considering the type of work they do and I assumed and always heard for the little pay they receive. Once I started spending time at Stoughton Meadows to be with my mom, as much as I could after work during the week and on weekends. I fully grasped the reasoning behind individuals whom are employed at facility's caring for others with impaired abilities. They truly have a passion for helping people, their story may have led them their due to past experiences with their loved ones or family members. Care giving is by far a passion rather than a pay check. The staff at SM's is truly incredible in the amount of people they have on staff that are sincere and entirely a huge asset to this facility. I've never witnessed so many employees for one entity in which are so vested to what the core reason in their employment is and that's the residents. This goes all around the boards in regards to their cooks, their activity director, and even their maintenance guy...all of them have such huge hearts and are so helpful without any hesitation, it truly shows they are the right individuals for their roles and Stoughton meadows and their residents are lucky for this beyond measures!

"I went to look at the Frontida of Elkhorn. The rooms looked great. They were very spacious and nice. Everything looked clean and well-maintained. The staff member who I met seemed very friendly and helpful. They had a courtyard, a bar area, and a place for social gatherings or casual meetings where you could meet with your family."

"I toured Oak Park Place and everything was nice. I was impressed by their apartment. They did very good use of the rooms. Betty was very thorough and she was very nice when we toured. She's very good. They have an activity room and an outdoor patio."

"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. "

"We toured Oak Park Place Madison. It was good. We saw what we needed to see and answered all our questions. The staff was pleasant and not pushy, showed us everything, and took his time."

"McFarland was an older facility and not as well maintained. The rooms were a smaller and not as well maintained as the others we saw; they needed some help. Their dining area was kind of small but adequate. I think they need to spend more time on maintenance issues. The people weren’t as warm and welcoming. It was the lowest price among the three I saw, but I think they were overpriced for the services that they offered. They had scheduled programs, but did not have as many offerings as the other places. "

"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."

"I like Charter Senior Living of Madison. The atmosphere was more like an apartment living. It had a full kitchen and a patio or a deck off the unit, so I liked that. It was pretty bright and airy. It's newer and everything. The staff was nice. She was great. They waved and said hello. I like that it is pretty convenient and everything. It is secluded but still convenient. It is still close to the city. They offered all the different services for whatever particular point your loved one is at. The tour experience is good. The tour person was great. It was very clean and very well kept up."

"Madison Pointe is very nice and has limited choices. Everybody is very nice, the place is clean, and the food is good, fresh, and they don't use preservatives. My parents are happy there. The Monday through Friday staff is wonderful, but it's a little bit less on the weekend. The only drawback is when you go there, you have to flip off a little switch, wait for somebody to come and open the door, and sometimes that takes a little bit of time. It would be nice if they had a keypad or something where if you have people there, there's a code that people could use to come and see their family members. For my parents, the cost is reasonable."

"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."

"Outstanding community. Care Plana are catered to my fathers needs. Any concerns or adjustments are handle efficiently. Staff are geniuon. "

"Mom just got in at Oak Hill Terrace Senior Living, but so far it's favorable. It's clean and well laid out, but on the smaller side from the three other places we looked at. So far, the staff seems very good. They play games, have exercise classes, trivia, and bingo. They go on outings, too."

"Sylvan Crossings Of Jefferson has wonderful, caring, friendly staff who are dedicated to makes their residents stay with them feel like they are home. "
