Assisted Living Communities in Onalaska, WI

"I'm extremely happy with Eagle Crest. I feel that my mom is in a very safe place there. She is very happy, and she loves it. I just got off the phone with her, and she said that they are so nice and so there all the time for her. She also said they have wonderful food. They have a dining room, a theater for movies, and they have other things, too. I don't get to go see her as much as I would like and they won't let you go to their room because of Covid, but I know they keep her so busy. She said she just baked cookies with four other women, they have word searches, and they take them outside for a walk. I get a calendar of all the fun things that they do like manicures, bingo, remembering songs from the 1940s, a lot of games, and just sitting back and having cocktails together at night. They're just really good activities. It is like living in a mansion."

"I went to Prairie Home, and I would have given it a 5. The tour was excellent, but it was too far from me. I liked the staff, it was all on ground level, which I liked. It was smaller, the activities were good, and the meals were fine. If they were closer, my mother would have been there in a heartbeat. The staff was wonderful, very accommodating, and very caring."

"My mother is at Eagle Crest South. It is a brand new facility; it just opened up last month. The rooms are fabulous; it’s a 5-star resort. They have all kinds of activities for the people who live there. They have outings; they have a library. They have a beauty parlor, a gift store, and a bar there; there was everything under the sun you could think of. The food is excellent; they have multiple choices in every meal. They have bistros for snacks anytime you want. They have 3 meals a day, which has 5 or 6 choices of what you can eat. It’s one of the nicest facilities I’ve ever been to. They take care of somebody from assisted living until end of life. They even have oxygen set up in each and every room if you need oxygen down the road. It’s a unique facility. They have everything you’ll ever need, and the staff is fantastic. "

"Of all the facilities I encountered, I like Bethany Riverside the best. They had several different sections and one even for Alzheimer's. I thought it was an excellent facility. We chose this for my father because my church supports it. My father stayed there for seven years. The facility was clean and it smelled good. It was very modern and very living room-like when you first come in the front door. It was very nice and very expensive. The staff was very kind and very caring for my father. He had a room and he shared it with another man. My father said food was very good. They had similar activities with other facilities and they took them out to eat or out to the mall once in a while. "

"The staff at The Willows is very friendly, nice, and warm. It is neat and clean. It's connected to the rehab center and the nursing home, so if you want to go for a walk, you can take a long walk, visit with people, and go into the activity rooms in either section. My father started out in a two-bedroom because they didn't have a one-bedroom open, but now he is in a one-bedroom. It's very cozy, more homey, and he likes it better than the larger one. They have yoga, shopping trips, they go out to lunch or breakfast sometimes, games, bingo, and movie night, and they have musicians come in. When I went there, they had somebody right in the office when you walk in. They had the cleaning people, the maintenance guy, and residents walking around. The price was much more reasonable. You get a little more personal touch there in such a big place. My father just liked The Willow better. I left the decision up to him, and he picked them. He loved the food, and he said he felt nicer when he walked in the front door. "

"The staff were nice, the facility was very well staffed, and they seemed like they were doing a great job helping out and taking care of the citizens. The amenities of the center seemed pretty adequate and enjoyable to the residents. However, the rooms were not great, and quality of the center itself wasn't too appealing. The rooms were bland and generic, almost like low-rate hospital rooms and the recreation areas were really generic. Also, the environment around the facility was plain and boring and not appealing. Scenery for the residents was not calming or relaxing. Although it wasn't a great place, this was a good place for my grandmother to stay. "

"We visited Hillview Terrace, and the rooms were pretty much what I expected. The staff were helpful. The place was pretty basic, and the dining facilities looked fine. They had outings once or twice a week. "

"Shelby Terrace Assisted Living is a very convenient location for my mom. I would say it's well-appointed with nice accommodation. It's also friendly. I saw the dining area and I saw a sample of what the menu would be. It's limited because it's two meals a day instead of three, but they offer the option for more if you want to pay for it. It all seemed quite reasonable. It was somewhat dated, but it's adequate."

"Pleasant Valley Seniors was nice. We liked that, but my mom thought it was just too far away from the rest of the family. They've got very friendly staff. We sat and visited with them and talked with them for quite a while. They were updating all the rooms, so it was very nice. She would have been on the second level, and there wasn't much available for her to be able to go up and down. The elevator space was really small. There needs to be a little bit more updating, but as far as the rooms, they seemed nice. It's just that my mom didn't want to be that far out of town."

"I liked this nursing home very much. The staff seemed to be very friendly and genuinly cared about the residents. They would speak to us whenever we came in and give us some feedback on the progress and the things that their residents were involved in. They also told us events that they do for the residents so they arent couped up in their rooms all day. The only thing that i didnt really like was that they didnt really keep a close eye on my grandma. She was very old when she was in the nursing home so she didnt eat much so when she was given her meals she didnt eat barely any of it and the staff didnt seem to encourage her to eat. I know they cant force her to eat but they didnt even seemed like they tried to get her to eat. They also gave her a roommate that kind of scared my grandma. Her roommate was clearly no all there so she would talk to herself and say things that didnt make sense. My grandma seemed a little disturbed by that so i think they could have given her a better roommate, someone that she could actually talk to. But all in all i really did like this facility. Everything seemed to be kept up and clean which is always a plus. "

"I happened to visit Caledonia Care and Rehab Buck, once my co-worker asked me to accompany him as he wanted to see his Mother in law. This was my first visit to any such facility and I had fairly high standards in my mind. Once we entered the facility, we did not find any parking place. It took us some time to park the car at some distance away and then enter the facility. Staff was not present at the reception so we had no one to guide us to her room. We managed to find the room and met the old lady. She was very unhappy about the behavior of the staff and food standard. She wanted to quit this facility as soon as possible. We found the corridors untidy and the building in a miserable condition. Mean while, the waitress had brought her lunch. The quality of food was low and utensils were not clean too. The residents were quite a few in numbers and looked gloomy. I did not find any life or home like environment here. The nursing staff was not present and we found no arrangements to handle the patient. My co-worker promised the lady to find some alternate arrangements for her. I was not impressed with the facility and would not recommend for loved ones. "

"My father-in-law stayed at Sugar Loaf Senior Living for nine days. It was very good and wonderful. He liked the food. "

"I like Roger Metz Manor, and I think it's a nicer place than others I have visited. I also like that they have single rooms available. The community is right on a park, it's clean, and its got a great view. The person who gave me the tour was fine, and was the same person who accommodated me for their sister community."

"My visit to Adith Miller Manor was good. The place seemed well-maintained and good aesthetic-wise. The staff accommodated us fine and there were no issues. They have full services and amenities, they have individual rooms, a reading area, and lounge area, and everything you could want. They also prepare all your meals. The only thing I found is that they only have shared rooms."
