Assisted Living Communities in Pleasant Prairie, WI

"It was the place that I liked the most. It felt like you were at a home. It was like you were going into a big house versus going into a facility. It seemed more comfortable and homelike. The staff was nice, friendly, pleasant and enjoying what they were doing. I liked the open setting with the kitchen because they were preparing food in the kitchen, and the people could sit and watch them. I did not try the food, but it smelled good, and the person preparing the food had been doing it for a number of years. "

"I had been to Galloway Senior Living, so it was interesting to see how they have adjusted the facilities to become senior care. I had been there when it was a hotel and a country club because my sister had her wedding reception there, and they did a really good job. It still has a hotel feel, but also an apartment feel, which is nice because you don't want it to feel like a nursing home. They have a lot of facilities that they had as a country club that are still available: There is a golf course next door, plenty of places to walk, big, spacious meeting rooms, and cute little salon meeting rooms. There is a bunch of stuff that we like, and it's very close, like less than five minutes away from my parents. They have a lot of natural light, and I love that. They gave us an assortment of their baked goods to try. They make them in-house. Lunch was just finishing up, so we saw people eating, and it looked like a good meal. We saw their menus. We had a chance to talk to one of their residents while we were waiting for the person to come and give us the tour. It was nice because it was her and her daughter, so they were giving us the inside scoop on the house. They like this place. We got a lot of positive feedback from that place. We like the people, the atmosphere, and the location."

"The staff at Victory Lakes were superb. My parents lived in Independent Living until my dad passed away. The last 1.5 years my mom was in Memory Care. In each area we witnessed loving and caring employees who always had our parents best interest in mind. Victory Lakes was an excellent place for my Mom at the end of her life. The Catholic services, communion in home, visits with music staff, exercise and activities brightened Mom's day. The staff accommodated for our 7 sibling visits from out of state, Mom's dietary restrictions, medication changes and in the end, Hospice care for Mom. Fred was Moms' favorite nurse ~ he would sing to her and she would find great joy in that! It was a blessing to honor Mom and Dad's desire to live independently through their continuum of life at VL."

"I went to see Home Harbor Racine, and it was a nice and clean place. The furniture in the dining room was very appropriate. It has soft cushions and arms on the chairs. The person who gave the tour was very informative. She did fine. I saw the first floor and an elevator to the second floor. I did think that, in my brother's case, it might be a bit too much walking, but what I liked about it was that the furniture in the lounge areas seemed comfortable. It also seemed like people were out of their rooms and conversing with each other, so that seemed good to me. From what I saw, the place was also clean."

"Pleasant Point Senior Living was nice. I liked it because the manager took us into a room to see what the room looked like. We had seen the other people there, and it looked like a great place to us. The room included a little kitchen and stuff. It looked like it was still adequate and very clean. They had everything that we needed. The cafeteria was pretty cool, too. The staff who took us around was informative. You can say that she had a lot of experience."

"Sunrise of Gurnee was a very friendly community. It looked like more of a resort hotel than an institution. I was impressed with just the way it looked. It was very clean and well-organized. It looked like there was a wide variety of activities for the residents. It also appeared as though there was a lot of support for the residents there. The staff was very friendly. The apartments were very nice and very clean. There was enough room for a senior and there was a nice view of the outdoor spaces."

"They were very hospitable at Gurnee Place Memory Care. They were very kind. They answered all our questions. We're not going to go there because it seems a bit dark. As soon as we walked in, there were a whole bunch of people. I realized it was during their exercise time, but you couldn't even walk through the door without bumping into people. Everyone was very nice. We just didn't like the setup. It was too cramped. I don't want my mom to feel like she is being hidden away. However, the staff who gave the tour was very nice, and the facility was very clean."

"We like Bickford of Gurnee. It's very open. There's a lot of light, a lot of movement, and a lot of activities for them to do. They have a garden in the backyard. My mom hasn't been able to get into her garden in probably a decade because of her knees, and they have raised garden accessible beds, so that's a huge plus for Mom. They have a crossword puzzle club, which is even better for my mom. The price is right around what we need it to be, and they are willing to adjust their pricing if necessary because they're working for the family. I like that they're willing to do that. They gave us some snacks, and they were delicious. We saw what everyone was eating because we came around lunchtime. We saw them preparing the food. It wasn't pre-packaged stuff that was just heated up; they were making the food there, so we really liked that one. I like the building and the layout."

"We toured Theresa's Home Care LLC 1. It was very nice. It seemed very clean. It's a home. It's not like an institution. It's not like a facility, so it's homey, and you get that homey feeling. We only really met with Teresa. There were some nurses there, and the dietary people were there, but we didn't meet them. Teresa was very nice, very welcoming, and warm. They do home-cooked meals. We saw them setting the tables and preparing, because it was getting ready to be dinner time. Their outdoor area was beautiful, with a lot of lawn. They had a recreational area downstairs on that first level where they do bingo or card games, puzzles, and things like that. It's like a mansion. I mean, there's like seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms. It's beautiful. The rooms are shared with patients, and I'm not necessarily saying I like that. There is no option for a private room."

"I toured The Cottages of Fox Lake Assisted Living & Memory Care. I liked it very much. It seemed very homey. The rooms were a little bit bigger, but they were unfurnished. He could bring his little refrigerator and TV. It had a sink and everything in the main room, which was very nice and clean. The bathroom was very clean. They accommodated showers, which is important. It seemed homey, and it was all on one level. They had a couple of different cottages. They all hooked up, although they had a memory unit. The memory one would be where my boyfriend would want to go. Allie showed me the place. She also has contacted me a couple of times afterwards to see if I'm still interested, and I've asked her a few more questions. Everything there was very nice, but it was just the price. They also said they would accommodate his diet since he has a special diet. He can only eat certain foods."

"We toured The Woods of Caledonia. The gal, Kate, who did the tour, and everything was exceptionally good and she took us all over there. My sister and I both liked the place. The grounds and everything were beautiful and we liked the way things were set up. Everybody greeted us. We just got to talk to Kate but all the other staff was very friendly."

"Pine Brook Pointe was clean. The rooms were a little bit bigger than the other place. It wasn't the director who usually gives the tours, but she was great and pretty knowledgeable about the facility. It was nice looking. The size of the rooms is sufficient. There wasn't much going on. I didn't see any clients."

"Apartments are beautifully spaced. Food service is New York City quality! Want or need more- just ask for it. Cleanliness is first-rate. ALL STAFF cannot be better and always very caring and friendly. Enhanced Care is beyond fabulous."
