Assisted Living Communities in Viroqua, WI

"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."

"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. "

"I chose Benedictine Living Community La Crosse because the price was better and the people were very friendly. I have a dog and I have no problems with that. The food is very good. They have soups and salads every day. They have very good choices. The staff is very friendly, and they keep coming and checking on you. If you're late for a meal, they're here to find out why. They're doing hamburgers, pork chops, chicken strips, ham, tuna salad, jelly sandwiches, breaded chicken, and barbecue pork on a bun. They're very clean. They're putting a new roof on. I don't see anything wrong. They had music, they made cookies for Cookie Day, and we did bingo, puzzles, and get-togethers. The rooms are a little bit smaller than what they could be. The layout is good. I wish they'd have like another foot in the bedrooms. They welcome animals."

"We visited the Eagle Crest Communities in La Crosse. The facilities were fine and they had a nice range of care. From an individual, more senior living type of care, to memory care, and expanded assisted living. They also had two levels of assisted living, which was interesting because the other places didn't have that. Then on top of the two levels of assisted living, they had memory care, which is their highest level. We looked at their assisted living during our visit. We checked the dining area, and their facilities in general. The floor plan was very good, they had a couple of different options, and it seemed to be very clean. Of the places we visited, it was the only one that offered memory care, so if you have people who were beginning to have signs of dementia but didn't need a nursing home, then this place would be a very good option for them."

"I used to live at a senior community center in La Crosse called Eagle Crest South. I was there for independent living and liked it there. I lived through the pandemic with them. They had to stop the dining in unison so they had to deliver our food, and control interactions with staff and outside visitors. They had clear guidelines for things and followed up when there was a problem. The administrator was particularly very good at that. They were innovative. They had potlucks and entertainment with new foods and things like that. They did outside events. They let people start programs, too, so we started a lecture series that was once a month. We also did a monthly tea. The value for money was good. The price was lower than some of the other places."

"We visited Spring Brook Assisted Living. It is very nice. I would say the best I've seen out of all of them, facility-wise, was Spring Brook Assisted Living. It was new, well laid out and fresh, clean, and kind of fancier, too. The rooms were top-notch and fancy, but well-laid out. I wouldn't mind living there myself. It was great. I thought that the activities were similar to the rest of them. They had movie nights, and several options for church throughout the week, and they brought in entertainment and things like that for the residents. It was equal to all the rest of them that I visited. I looked at a two-week cycle menu and it looked like it would be good."

"We visited a family friend at Morrow Memorial Home. This is one is a lot larger. It had a kitchen area and she had a lot of room. She even had a big window that looked to the backside part of a park area. It seemed expensive. It looked really expensive, though I'm not sure of the price. She just had everything. The staff is great and very accommodating. It seemed like they were concerned. It's in a good location. The place is really clean. A lot of the staff is very helpful. "

"My mother is in Laurel Manor. I have nothing, but good things to say about the care that she was given there. Their facility is small. They have 22 rooms. They have a communal dining area with a TV. They do activities, and they have volunteers that come in. They do exercises twice a week with other volunteers that come in and do activities. In fact, I also have some friends that we try to get there once a month to do some activities. They are able to go across to the nursing home right next door, which is part of the same care center for religious services. They have mass, and they have Lutheran services over there. They'll sometimes have entertainment. The residents at Laurel Manor are invited over for that as well. It's clean. I got to know the women that are working each time I come, and they all are so helpful. I couldn't ask for anything more really. The food there was great. She got two meals a day, lunch, and dinner. They have a choice of two things for each meal, which was helpful. If you don't like this, you might like that. They were on their own for breakfast, and I would take her milk and energy bars she can snack on for breakfast. Her room is lovely. It's actually a small apartment. She has a bedroom and a bath, and she has a little living room and a kitchen. It's open enough that she can move around with her walker. We were invited to bring our own TV for her in her room, and they had cable hooked up for her. It is really nice. If she could have stayed there, I would have loved for her to stay; she just needs a little more help. They would tell me if there was a problem or if she needed something. They were a big help. She never went hungry there. They come in and clean once a week. They do her laundry once a week. Their facility is spotless and well taken care of. The value for the money is wonderful; it was reasonable."

"My mom moved in at Milestone Senior Living-Hillsboro more than a week ago. We chose it because it is a lovely place, and we like it. The staff is super friendly and very efficient. My mom's apartment is nice and we feel good about her being there. It has a kitchenette, a large living room, a nice sized bedroom, and a very nice bathroom. It is very expensive but very nice. Mom said the food is good, and the dining room is very nice and very large. They have games, card games, and a beautiful library with an aquarium and a fireplace. The other night, there was a big group of people and they sang while everybody was eating dinner. It was beautiful."

"Schmitt Woodland Hills is a wonderful facility located in a perfect spot for residents to sit outside and listen to the birds, or watch the squirrels, or in the fall enjoy the wonderful landscape of foilage. It is located close to a hospital and clinic if the residents need to seek medical care. The facility also offers transporation for the residents to their medical appointments. The facility offers a variety of activities for the residents to do including playing bingo, cards, and other games. There are frequently other activities that may include music and dancing. The staff are very friendly. They seem to be very helpful to the residents. The food appears hot and there is a variety of items served during the month. It appears clean and well organized. The apartments themselves seem to offer everything you would need such as grab bars, nonslip mats, and other safety features. Overall, I think this is a wonderful facility. "
