"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."

"We toured Villa St. Francis Assisted Living. They were very organized, and someone was waiting for us to give us the tour. She went through everything. She gave us a brochure listing the services and cost. The room wasn't big, but it was nice. It had a small refrigerator and a big closet. The bathroom size was good. It was a very clean place. They have a beauty salon, a church, and a chapel, which is nice."

"Harbour Village and its rooms were nice. They showed me the spa unit and the dining area. They had different programs going on each day."

"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."

"My mom has moved into Brenwood Park and she is all set there. We chose this because they had an opening and it is close to my house and my other siblings. They also do a lot of activities and that is what my mom wanted. Their staff so far is really good. They have been very helpful and very nice to my mom. They spend time to answer questions if we have any. "

"Layton Terrace was a very good place, but I don't think they have a big enough memory care center there. The person who assisted me was very informative. They had very good physical therapy, a beauty salon, a nice dining area, and nice rooms."

"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 really enjoyed the fact that it was a well-established facility. There are a lot of people that work there that you see visually out and about. A lot of the residents that live there are very active in the activities. It is a place where individuals have a choice to be independent, and they can be self-served and assisted if need be. I really enjoy the fact that a resident can come in independently, and then as they gradually get older and need more assistance, they don't have to move. Every area is sectioned off on where individuals live for the assistance that they need, so I really enjoy that. The activities department is very helpful, because it keeps them active and alert. They have a men's group, a women's group, and a card group where individuals have a choice to play cards. They have different areas for dinner and lunch, so it was really nice. They have a salon there and their own therapy department there. It is a huge facility, and it is in an area where it is like a nature walk. You can walk outside, and it's close to a park. It's centrally located near the downtown area of Wauwatosa, which is very nice for individuals who are independent that they can walk locally to restaurants and to the grocery store, which is right across the street. They have their own transportation service. They have certain days where they would take residents out shopping, like to the grocery stores and to the supermarkets. It was very nice. The staff was very pleasant. They were very welcoming, and even the residents were very welcoming too. They shared their experience and time there, so that was really nice as well. They offered us one-bedrooms and two-bedrooms, which was nice. The tour was nice."

"Home Harbor Racine was very nice. I liked it a lot. The apartment was roomy. It was a nice apartment. The staff members were very polite and professional. They had activities. You can go shopping. They had a piano out in the common area. You could play the piano if you knew how."

"I have a lot of friends here. It's really easy to meet people because there are a lot of activities. We just had a big St. Patrick's Day celebration. Usually the celebrations are followed with a meal in the cafeteria. They have special programs with music or dancing. We had Irish singers and Irish dancers here. We have a lot of standing committees, like a Parkinson's committee that meets. We also have a council meeting and programs for art and painting. Right now, we only have a Catholic service, so I'm trying to get a Protestant service going. I just wrote a book of prayers that they are going to publish. It will help people who have trouble knowing what to pray for or how to pray. It's a good choice. There are people that are mostly independent, but they have somebody doing their laundry. We have housekeepers that come in once a week. If anything happens, like you spill on the carpet or something, they will come in off schedule. They will clean the carpeting for you and help you clean up any mess you make by accident. The staff are very sympathetic. They have a lot of work to do, but they have a good sense of humor. They always greet you in the morning. In the afternoon, they ask how things are. When you put your call light on, they come pretty much on time. They provide meals three times a day, plus they have a bistro with snacks. Food is not very ethnically related. I think people would enjoy having different types of foods, like Italian and Mexican. They have some of that, but probably not enough. This is a beautiful, beautiful place. It is always kept very clean. They vacuum the carpeting every day. They pick up any messes that are left in the hall. We empty our garbage outside of our door, and they always pick it up (practically before you close the door). They are open to new activities. I would say that the value for the dollar is good."
