Assisted Living Communities in Menomonie, WI

"I visited Care Partners and they were very informative. They were good and the rooms were fine. They have activities. I went to their memory care unit and the staff was courteous. My sister-in-law was a resident. It was a good layout and everything was fine. I wouldn't hesitate being there. I like that it's all on one floor and it's more like a house."

"Oak Gardens Place just has assisted living. It has very nice grounds, a nice neighborhood, very homey and very comfortable looking, and very clean. The coordinator and the nurse I've talked to are both wonderful. I'm also still keeping in touch with the nurse. They explained everything that they had, like the crafts, the beautiful dining room, and the sitting room. The rooms are very nice, and they answered all of my questions. The craft activities weren't going on at that moment, but I saw the craft room and it looked like a lot of fun. They had a lot of craft supplies, too. In the back, they have an outdoor patio where people can go and sit and get a little sunshine."

"There was nothing that I didn't like about HeatherWood Assisted Living & Memory Care. They have a restaurant club where they either go out to eat occasionally or have food brought in, entertainment, and they do a lot of craft work. They sent a plate of homemade cookies home after our tour and explained how you can pay money down, how you can get on a waitlist, the different levels of care when you enter, and what they recommend. They were just very informative. My next-door neighbor had a stroke and she's there now, so I visit her once in a while, and she settled in easily and said the food is wonderful. I've been to some of their events as a guest and it's just nice as well. The facility was kind of L-shaped so depending on the sun, you had a choice of sitting in the shade at different times of the day. They also have a beauty shop and apparently, they owned a little bit of property right next to that patio and they had someone gardening there. They gave some of the produce to the facility so there was fresh vegetables and stuff that they cooked in their kitchen. I thought that was pretty good."

"When we got to VitaCare Living-Bloomer I, they weren't expecting us at all. The main lady wasn't there so her assistant helped us and she didn't know that much. So, we didn't get much help. She showed us around the rooms and I was disappointed in the rooms. They weren't prepared for me at all. Then the lady that was there didn't know what to tell us. She had no idea. They didn't have any brochures for it to look at."

"LakeHouse Chippewa Falls was very beautiful. The people were friendly and they had a lot of activities for mom to do. Mom likes to do puzzles, and they have two puzzle rooms. She plays cards and they have a card room. The rooms themselves were very nice size, too. The staff was very helpful. They answered every question I had and asked a lot about my mom, to see if she fit into their community and stuff. So, I enjoyed talking to them. They were eating lunch and we went in and the food looked very good. Mom can eat a salad for every meal if she wants one. I think it will work out fine."

"Comforts of Home Assisted Living in Menomonie is the perfect place for my mom. The facility and care are best around. The staff really go above and beyond to give extra special care to each of the residents. Amanda, Emily, Julie, Corina, Alyssa and the rest all know ho to make my mom feel comfortable, safe and special every day."

"My father received exceptional care. We found that all the staff listened and responded to all our questions and needs. He was always treated with dignity, respect and a caring attitude. His here was made easier from the director to the cleaning staff and maintenance."

"My dad is in Beehive Homes Of Eau Claire. The help and the people that work with him are very, very nice and very helpful. Every time I stop in, the place is very nice and clean. They have all kinds of stuff, they're now just going to start church services again. Right now they have a COVID outbreak, so I don't suppose they do too much. But they celebrate every holiday, like Valentine's Day and Christmas, and for all the holidays, they do something. I've been there when dad is eating, and the food looks very good and he eats it right up, so it must taste good. They have a chef that works there. I have no idea what other places cost, but I think this place is very expensive and it's private pay. He just has a room there."

"My mother was a resident in the Reflections wing (hospice) of Dove Healthcare West for six months during 2016. As my mother’s health declined she was unable to do many of the things at home that she used to do, and not being able to do those things was a constant reminder for her of the losses she was experiencing in her decline. When it became apparent Mom could no longer live at home, and we were unable to continue caring for her, we made that difficult decision to move her to Dove. At the time I don’t think any of us (including Mom) realized how the move would actually improve her quality of life to the degree it did. At Dove, the focus was on what she COULD do. The nurses checked her oxygen tanks and monitored her medications so we didn't have to worry if she had taken the right pill at the right time. Her room was cleaned for her, her laundry was done for her, she got her hair done weekly and enjoyed whirlpool baths. She loved that someone else did the cooking now. (Many people like to complain about institutional food, but both I and my mother thought that Dove made a special effort to provide a varied menu and she had no complaints, ever.) Dove had activities when she felt like socializing and when she didn’t, that was okay with them too. In her room in the Refections wing we were allowed to hang pictures and bring in many personal items from home to make her new room feel more comfortable. Being surrounded by her things helped Mom to adjust and I appreciated that Dove encouraged us to do this. Because she was now being well cared for by professionals at Dove Mom regained the energy to resume her interests (reading, knitting, puzzles, visiting with and calling her friends) – things that were declining for her while at home due to a lack of energy just trying to get through each day. I have been so impressed with the attention and care Mom received from all the staff at Dove, (including housekeeping staff, food service, the hair stylist, activities director, as well as her entire care team — to name a few of the many people who assisted her in some way). The nursing staff on the Reflections wing are deeply caring professionals who treated her as their number one priority. Everyone is friendly. I remember on the day Mom was admitted how professional and courteous the staff was to us under what was a very stressful situation for us at the time. They made us feel welcome and that meant a lot. No one really wants to leave their home and go to a nursing home when the time comes. One day Mom told me she felt safe and content at Dove. During the time we were caregivers for her in her home my time (and other family members' time) was spent seeing to her immediate needs, managing her medications and attending to the routine daily things that happen in a home. There was no quality time to appreciate our last days together as we were constantly worried about her, as well as being tired and stressed. Once she moved to Dove the worry was lifted, we got that precious quality time back and were able to spend time visiting and enjoying every moment we still had together. Mom was happy and that made me, as her daughter, happy too. "

"My experience was okay. The place was busy and the supervisors seemed stressed out. The resident that I know likes the facility because of the job placement and how they work with his company. He said that the staff is stressed because it is understaffed and that some of the residents are a lot to handle. The place seemed in order to me and clean, no one there seemed unhappy. I like how the policy for the residents who work have to check in with Triniteam when they are at work, leaving work or on break. Makes it easy for the staff to keep tabs on everyhone. "

"Andrew M., owner, is a wonderful care provider! He is always there for his clients. He always keeps me updated on medical and social issues. He also takes her to doctor appointments when I am unable to do so. He is often seen out in the community with the clients, going bowling or to the park, etc. He really encourages the clients to maintain independence, be active with hobbies and give back to the community. This is a great place to call home! "

"I am forever grateful to the Affinity House and there staff. I will have 5 years clean this September and I owe a great deal to the staff there. I had been to several rehabs before this one. I enjoyed my time there. Learning new ways to deal, and cope with the things that brought me down. The things that turned me to drugs. I will always hold a special place in my heart for everyone that was there. The program is amazing. Hard at times, but amazing. They truly care about you and your sobriety. I recommend the Affinity house to anyone who is in need of getting clean. It works if you work it! Thank You Affinity!!"
