"We have placed my grandmother-in-law at Oak Park Place Oak Creek. The price is cheaper. It is a newer and nicer-looking facility. It's one story. We had a family member who was also staying there. The staff is friendly and attentive. Everything looks nice. There's a courtyard, an eating area, and a card room. There are restaurants and stores nearby."

"Howard Village Senior Living is pretty much what I am looking for. However, I wanted a better exercise room, and they only have a few little things: a bike, but not a full gym. The staff was very welcoming, very friendly, and very thorough. The building was excellent. It was very clean, very neat, very bright, and had a welcoming environment."

"I was very impressed with Harbour Village. I liked the layout of the two-bedroom apartment and just the way the place seemed to be kept up. It's a much older building, but it is well-maintained. They had wide hallways and easy access for wheelchairs. Everything about it had a good, homey feeling. It seems well planned. I like the amenities that they offer. Even though it's an older building, the rooms don't look like that. They keep them up and refresh them. While I can't speak directly for the meals, it sounds like they have a good meal program. The staff was very cheerful. The rooms were just a little tight. The dining area was set up with tables from two to four to six to a couple of big tables. It was set up so that people could eat together or be more alone if they wanted to be. I know they were playing bingo when we were in there. They were going to go to a Milwaukee Milkmen game. I saw the list of activities for the week, and it was pretty full. It was a nice, friendly feeling. Their location is excellent for us. It was every bit as good as it looked on the internet, and you can't always say that for internet pictures."

"I had an in-person tour and it was very good. The staff showed me a room that was going to be available, and they told me some of the things that were going on. But what I want is not available yet, so we have to wait a little while. Other than that it was very informative for me and helped in my decision. The facility was very clean. It was lunchtime, and they were very busy helping the patients get their lunch. When people in the memory care unit were asking questions they were always answered in a positive way. The aids were not affected by being asked the same questions. They were never rude to the patients, which was very nice. The staff was friendly. Everybody was doing their job. It was a very nice facility. Even the room that I got to see seemed to be quite adequate, and something that I would feel comfortable having my husband go to."

"We toured Brenwood Park. It's up-to-date, clean, and I got the chance to meet the business manager. The person who gave me the tour was friendly, knowledgeable, and positive. The dining area was clean and looked good. They just didn't have any Polish-speaking employees, so we didn't go with this place."

"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."

"I toured Layton Terrace Senior Living. It's a good place, but I was just disappointed because my dad couldn't get in there. When we first walked in, it was all clean, and everybody was good and friendly. It looked really good that way. No problem. The one who toured us was a man who used to be in there himself, and then he retired, so now he is still helping them out. He was pretty good at telling us everything about the facility. However, they wouldn't let us go see one or two areas because I think we were too late or something, so I wasn't too happy about that."

"I toured Library Square Senior Living. The thing I liked best about it was it was very clean. Everybody there seemed to be well taken care of and very upbeat. The things I didn't like, I don't think there were too many things. It's like being located on a bus line, so I would have transportation. The fire station is a couple of blocks down, so the ambulances would be very close. There's a grocery store about four blocks down, so you could go grocery shopping. The only thing I would say about it is it's not in a location where there'd be a lot of stores. However, I like the fact that it's placed behind the West Dallas Public Library and you almost can't see it. So it's very secluded. I like that part. They had a little store where you could pick up little things, laundry detergent if we needed it, and snacks and things like that. They also had a beauty shop there. They had a lot of areas like a puzzle area where if you liked to work on puzzles there was always a couple going on and people were there. There was a library. There was a TV room and an exercise area. I haven't had any food there, however, the chef was there talking to us a little bit, and from the things he was talking about, it sounded like it was pretty good food. The staff was wonderful. She spent a lot of time with me and made sure that we traveled through the whole facility to see everything and showed me several rooms, not just one. So, that was good."

"We went to visit Abundant Life Manor assisted living facility while in the area, searching for a place for our aunt to live. They graciously allowed us to take a tour, despite the fact that we did not have an appointment. We could immediately see that the staff was caring and kind and the residents well tended. The outside area was very nicely maintained. The foyer was fresh, bright and nicely appointed. The grounds also offer easy access for residents, where they can enjoy walking around freely safely each day. There was also plenty of space to have parties and picnics. The facility can accommodate all levels of ambulation. Communal activity rooms were spacious with comfortable furnishings. Seniors can easily socialize, play games, read, watch TV and take part in many stimulating activities. Private living spaces rooms were spacious in nicely decorated surroundings. Each had a great deal of natural light and fresh air with very comfortable furniture. All of the indoor rooms had plenty of light and fresh air and all were beautifully decorated and furnished. The building colors were soothing and comfortable. The dining rooms were nice, with plenty of space. The foods looked and smelled appetizing. The menus options were plentiful and designed for diet types. They also offered healthy snacks during the day and made them available anytime requested. The exercise room had nice machines that seniors can use supervised, if they desire. They also offered daily and nature walks as an option. Aerobics and yoga classes are offered and encouraged. The residents also go on many trips to visit Milwaukee's art galleries and museums. They also regularly eat at casual and fine restaurants as well as other interesting events around town. This facility is very nicely maintained with kind and caring staff that take very good care of all of the residents. "

"I toured Hart Park Square Senior Living. I liked that they showed me several models. I liked that there's an emergency switch in each of the models, and they said you flip this one switch by 9 a.m. because if your light doesn't light up, they call you on. If you don't answer your phone, they come up and knock on your door. And, if you don't answer that, they use the key to come in and check on you. They supply all the appliances, like a stove, refrigerator, and microwave. The staff was congenial, answered my questions, and didn't rush me."

"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."

"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."
