Assisted Living Communities in Watertown, WI

"I visited Charleston House Assisted Living in Beaver Dam. The tour I did of their assisted living was great, and the place was great; it's just not going to work for my husband. The person who gave the tour was wonderful, and the rooms shown to me were big. They had different activities going on. People were playing cards, and there were those in the other unit who were also busy doing something else."

"We moved our family member from a large, eye-appealing, highly-talked up assisted living facility only to find that residents were forgotten, not known by staff and not well taken care of. We found Waterford at Hartford, a much smaller assisted living facility that doesn't have the eye appeal. We are so happy we made the move to Waterford at Hartford. What's important is the care the resident gets. Waterford at Hartford has a responsive management team and a staff that knows our family member by name, knows their health needs and most important, takes the time to care for our family member at the level of care she needs. The staff communicates with one another and that makes such a difference in the care rendered. Our family member's mental attitude has increased, giving her a reason to enjoy her daily life all because the staff cares and loves the residents. Again, we are so glad we found Waterford at Hartford. A small town assisted living facility giving loving care."

"Outstanding community. Care Plana are catered to my fathers needs. Any concerns or adjustments are handle efficiently. Staff are geniuon. "

"I toured Brookdale Sussex. I liked that it was intimate. I like the floor plan where the residents are close to everything, close to the staff, and close to the dining, and living rooms. Everything's very close and the staff can check on them throughout the day. They're not far away. They're close to all the activities, to all the help they need, and the meals. I just thought the whole setup was very positive. The staff is friendly. The director, Jessica, was very informative, very helpful, and answered all my questions. She is very capable and cares about the people there. They have a lovely porch on the front and then at the back, they had another nice porch, so people could, if they wished to be outside in the warmer weather, it would be nice because then they aren't stuck inside."

"I am very impressed with Fairhaven. They seemed to offer everything anybody could want. The place was very clean and well maintained. The people were extremely nice, and the food was very good. They are in the process of renovating, which is very good. They had a myriad of activities. They are right next door to the University in Wisconsin Whitewater and there’s a lot of things going on there for residents. There were regular bingo games and trips. "

"Faith Gardens was fantastic, I would recommend them any time, any place. The staff was very warm and welcoming. The clients were smiling and all seemed happy. They have different size rooms, and each one had their own bathroom, a nice closet, and some shelves. The rooms were a decent size, and overall, we were highly impressed. "

"It is very nice, and you can go for at least two weeks. They have a lot of things going, and it was a smaller place, but that's OK, and it's very clean. The people were very, very pleasant, and the room was very nice. The building was quite new. They gave us a very big tour of the place."

"I toured Oak Hill Terrace Senior Living. The gal who toured me around was wonderful, and the residents were friendly. The facility was very clean, but it was an older facility. The one downside was that the parking for visitors outside was very poor, but otherwise, they had a lot of activities. I was given a calendar with the activities, a menu calendar, a price catalog, and the dimensions of all the rooms. They were beautiful-sized rooms, much bigger than I expected, and nicely set up. However, the bathroom could have been updated in the shower area."

"Mom moved into Prairie Gardens. When we first took her there to tour the place, she immediately liked it. She liked the atmosphere, which was cozy and friendly. The food is wonderful. The plates and the food are always warm. The staff is very attentive, and they keep the call time to five minutes, ten minutes at the most. They come in and they ask if there's anything else that Mom needs help with. Anything we needed was gotten there right away. We are really happy and she's happy. Mom's room has a path for her wheelchair. It has a large bathroom that she could get into, and everything is arranged nicely. The facility is an older building, but is well kept. Within the one week that she's been there, they had a Halloween craft, bingo, and movies. They have a beauty shop on Thursdays."

"We toured Charter Senior Living of Hasmer Lake. The young lady who gave us the tour was wonderful. The place looked beautiful and had some great scenery. The apartments looked spacious and well taken care of. We looked at two-bedroom apartments. They had very nice menus and food for everyone. They had some nice-looking areas for doing crafts and other activities. They had a nice library, areas for movies, and other activities. It looked like I'd move in there if I needed it."

"We physically toured Talamore Senior Living. The tour was very informative. The manager was very pleasant, and she answered all our questions. We looked at a two-bedroom apartment. They have lots of activities. The nice thing about Talamore is that when you need assisted living, they bring people to your apartment, and you do not need to move out of the apartment that you're in. They just increase the fee to reflect what services you need. It's a nice business model. As for amenities, they have a place for coffee in the morning, a craft room, and raised garden beds outside so you can garden in the summer. They have an activities director. However, it was way out of our budget. They had 10 breakfasts, 10 lunches, and 10 dinners included in the rent per person."

"I like Charter Senior Living of Madison. The atmosphere was more like an apartment living. It had a full kitchen and a patio or a deck off the unit, so I liked that. It was pretty bright and airy. It's newer and everything. The staff was nice. She was great. They waved and said hello. I like that it is pretty convenient and everything. It is secluded but still convenient. It is still close to the city. They offered all the different services for whatever particular point your loved one is at. The tour experience is good. The tour person was great. It was very clean and very well kept up."

"I toured The Arboretum Senior Living. The facility looked very nice, but that was just one of the things. It was neat and clean. The dining room was nice. They had also offered that if you wanted room service, they could bring your meal to the room, and the bedrooms were generous in size. The staff was very informative and friendly, and provided me with all the information that I needed to take along. They had an exercise area and a gathering area. Then, their activity schedule, I was provided with different things that they offer there."

"The care is great because the caregivers are great. There are tons of them that have been there forever. The food is GREAT considering their cooking for 46 people. What I loved to see was how many family members dine with their loved one daily! The staff at Riverview would always make whatever special accommodations we asked for. My wife still visits to help with activities-we feel like family there. "
