The Best Assisted Living Communities in Waukesha County, WI

"My aunt stayed at Discovery Commons Brookfield, which was very nice but pricey. The people who worked there were wonderful. The facility was new and clean. It was state of the art, but parking was also a problem there. The rooms were smaller than the ones I looked at for my mom, but they were very nice. They did have very nice walk-in showers with a seat hanging from the wall, which was very nice so my aunt could be independent in showering herself. I ate lunch with my aunt, and the food was very good."

"It was just way past what I needed. Some of the people there even have dementia. I was there for 15 minutes, and the young lady that showed me around said, "This isn't for you." I don't want to live in a place where I have to get permission to walk out the door and have it locked on me. It took me just a few minutes to realize that it wasn't for me; just the simple fact that you'd need a wheelchair to go from place to place. The staff was showing me things, and then took me into a room and sat down and said, "I don't think this is for you. I don't want to waste your time and I can tell you this isn't for you." There's nothing wrong with it. It's just not for me, so she was very nice about that. The people there have different types of health problems, which I know is the human factor. It was very pleasant and very clean. What I noticed is that there was no smell of urine. It was totally cleaned up. I saw people going to meetings, people getting together in a club, and some of them were eating lunch. It was just like a normal day. They showed me the independent living and we walked through rooms, up the hallway, and through all of the different places. There's an area going out to the patios where they have places for people to see and do things. I met many other staff members too, and all of them were genuine and friendly. They're very pleasant and nice to the people. They're very caring as well."

"My brother was supposed to go to Oak Park Place Wauwatosa but he needed more care and they didn't have that level of care. But I like this place and the rooms were nicely laid out with lots of light. The administrator was really caring and really impressed me. It would have required for my brother to be more independent. The person in-charge was very accommodating and really impressed me. The room that was available for my brother was really perfect but he just couldn't do it anymore. He was going to be on the first floor which was assisted living but we had to raise the level. They had activities available on the first floor as well. The place itself was just so nice and the manager was so accommodating. They had a very nice dining room and very nice little sitting areas for visiting, not a big living room but just little areas which seemed so nicely laid out. They also offer activities, they have a gathering time where people would gather in the little dining area and I have observed some of the clients that live there. It just seemed like a very pleasant atmosphere. The staff who accommodated us really impressed me, and he struck me as someone who's very caring. He does his job very well and seemed to know the needs of people in his care."

"My mother-in-law was a resident of The Arboretum Senior Living. It was a very nice community for her. There were activities for her to go to, and she went to the dining hall for dinner once a day, so she had interaction with other people. The staff was very nice and helpful, and the facilities were well-kept and clean. They would sometimes have groups come in to sing or play music, and the food was very good."

"We looked at the independent living of LakeHouse Menomonee. We saw some of the residents and met with some of the staff and had nice things to see. We did not try their food, but we walked past their dining room. Everything looked very good. The staff was very friendly and open. I think they had a nice rapport with the residents there too."

"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. "

"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."

"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."

"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."
