Assisted Living Communities in Manitowoc, WI

"My mother moved to Emerald Shores. The care is very good and we're very happy with her there. Her room is very nice and has new carpeting; we're happy with it. She has memory issues, but the staff tries to keep her involved as much as possible. Their food is good. It's just a small community. They didn't have a specific library, but they have a lot of lounge areas. It's just about 20 beds and is in a rural area northeast of Wisconsin. They have outdoor areas."

"My wife was a resident at Angels Touch for 16 months and I visited her daily during that time. The management was actively involved daily with the residents. The employees were well trained and exhibited compassion and care for the residents. The facilities are extremely well maintained and clean with daily housekeeping a norm. There was a daily activity level which was well organised and adequate. The business model employed by ownership would serve as an excellent model for other dementia facilities. I was always well informed of my wife's condition and had any questions answered promptly."

"I visited Oak Park Place Green Bay, WI. I thought it was marvelous, and that's where we'd like to end up, but they have a waitlist, as does everyone. The community was very active. The overall experience was enlightening because I had seen some other facilities that didn't even come close to them. They keep their people very active, whether it's the memory unit or whether it's the assisted living unit. It's far better than any of the others I have seen so far. They have a lot of good activities, like if they choose to paint something, they can. They have an entire room with an instructor that will help you with those activities. So, nobody's sitting around and waiting for the end of life. I don't think anybody ever leaves that place because they're unhappy. I know they have entertainment that comes in. For example, my mom is an artist, so she would have been able to use her oils with supervision because she is 96, but she would have been able to do those things. They have a garden. She makes jewelry, and she could do all of that stuff there. The dining area was very nice and very clean. I have not tried their food; it was just a tour. The person who gave me the tour, her name's Lisa, she was very personable, a very nice person, and very thorough. I really didn't get a chance to see the inside of the studios from Memory Care because they were all occupied. I could see them as I walked through the hall, and they all seemed quite nice. I did tour one of the rooms in the assisted living, and it was very nice. They have a variety of rooms. They have one-bedrooms and two different sizes of studios. The studios were pretty much larger than you see in other places."

"Shady Lane was nice. They have a new section that has all newer rooms. It was a nice layout. Everybody seemed nice. The only thing I didn't like was their pricing. The schedule was kind of confusing, if you needed extra help, you had to pay by the hour. It's kind of hard to determine how many hours he would need every week. The staff was nice and answered all our questions. They offer laundry service, but you have to pay by the pound. You get three meals a day. The new section was nice and cheerful. The only thing my brother didn't like was the bathroom. It's a European shower type where it's not a separate shower. It's part of the bathroom and kind of goes in a corner with a curtain around you. They have a doctor that comes into the facility."

"We toured Fieldcrest Manor, but they don't have anything for a husband and wife. The lady that showed us around was very nice, and answered my questions, but they only had small, single rooms. They were in great shape. I believe they had a patio, the dining room was medium-sized, and it was very bright. The facility was very clean, tidy, and modern-looking."

"My grandfather lives at Kindred Hearts in Manitowoc, WI. It's a fairly small assisted living facility where many of the residents, including my grandpa, have Alzheimer's. It is a nice, friendly place. They always have the meals of the day and special events posted so the residents know what to expect, and are reminded when they forget. There is a little courtyard in the middle of the two residential wings that is nice for the residents to get outside and is a good place to chat with visiting loved ones. The building is fenced in and has safety alarms on the doors so the caretakers know if a resident exits the building. They understand the special needs for the type of residents that live there and are patient with their memory loss. We are generally happy with the service my grandpa receives there."

" I have whitnessed the owners screem at the residents. Also a resident was wheeled into the office saying, no I don't want to go. I heard him call her crazy. She came out crying!"

"My aunt is at Angelus Senior Living in Manitowoc and the facility is absolutely beautiful. It's almost like a resort. It's spotless. It's clean. I've eaten there and the food is delicious, but the staff would be the best thing to say about it. The staff could not be any nicer or accommodating. They have a director named Julie who has been wonderful to help facilitate this move. We just have no complaints at all. It's, in my opinion, the best I've ever seen and I was a social worker for 44 years, so I've seen homes in my time and this is the best facility I have ever seen. They had a full list of activities and as of right now, my aunt has not participated in anything as she's just getting settled, but there's so much to do. They actually have a happy hour every Friday night in their bar. They have a movie room and exercise classes."

"Excellent care and caring for our Dad! He feels at home and happy! "

"It was nice and it was cozy. They don't have a lot of room there, but I think that's a good thing because then they get more time to spend with their clients or patients. With COVID, I couldn't go into the rooms because there were people living in the rooms, but I did a quick peek. The lady told me that once in a while she will go out and grill on the grill for the residents, and that's pretty cool. She was very, very nice."

"This is an awesome place to be with the most caring caregivers you will ever find. The place has all that you can expect from a facility. The price is a bit high but for the clean and nice rooms, food etc. you will be most satisfied that you are indeed getting the best of care and your moneys worth. "

"Keep apartments clean once a week. Also does bedding, wash and remake. Put hearing aids in, everyday meals 3x a day and with made to order breakfast three days a week. Provide activities. Nurse here one day a week and checks us. "

"I liked Scandinavian Court. The apartments were bigger than I thought they were going to be, and the staff was very nice. The girl who took me around was very knowledgeable, nice, and kind, and told me everything I needed to know. They do a lot of activities and go on field trips. It's not that big. The dining area was nice. They use it for get-togethers and do some activities there, also. "

"Field of Dreams was very nice. It was small. I think they hold about 24 residents. It was arranged very nicely, and it was very clean. The people were very friendly. They had activities, and they had a van that takes the residents to doctor’s appointments. "
