The Best Continuing Care Retirement Communities Communities in Dodge County, WI

"I went to look at Heritage Homes. The apartments were very nice. It just seemed to have everything that hopefully my mom would want. We only met the lady who toured us. She was very thorough and very accommodating. They have followed up with us to know if there was anything else that they could do. They do not serve food for independent living. They have a kitchen facility if you want to have a gathering or anything like that, but they do not serve meals. In the apartments themselves, they had a washer, dryer, stove, refrigerator, air conditioning, and walk-in bath. The only thing they didn't have was a dishwasher. They have a community room and little rooms here and there with little fireplaces where you can sit and gather. They had a workshop room where you could do crafts and things like that. They had an underground garage. Each room has its own furnace. They had a fitness room and a chapel."

"I went to Shorehaven. It was very bright and very clean. They had various programs. They had outdoor activities and activities around the lake. They had a number of pears groups inside. The rooms were very nice. They had some individual rooms. They had transportation in-house. The person that gave me the tour was very knowledgeable. "

"My father moved into Cedar Community. They've done a terrific job watching him. They have done an outstanding job changing what they do for him in order to match where the disease is. I'm just very, very pleased with how he's doing there. His room is spacious. It holds all of the family heirlooms and things that he took with him from his home, and there's plenty of room. They have a garden that his room looks out to and he would be able to get out there come summertime and wander around the gardens that they have going. The common areas are nice, especially the restaurant that he uses. They have several larger group areas where they can do programs like bingo or different religious activities like praying the rosary. He goes down to the activities himself. They announce them when they're going to start, and he makes the effort to get down there. If it's something that is an exercise program that he should be attending, they go and actually search him out so that he takes advantage of it. The food is excellent. It's designed for the assisted living residents where they'll have a generous breakfast and a generous lunch, and then a little bit less for supper. People go to bed early and that keeps things like reflux at bay. It's not cheap, but I think he does very well there. And it's that kind of idea that it's worth the money if he's doing well."

"My parents are moving to New Perspective Senior Living. I like the floor plan, the amount of different activities and the amount of different social gathering places they had in the building. They have a unique floor plan that no one else has, they have a den which fit my parents. They feel better there than any place else. It's in town so it's close to shopping and activities that they would be going to. In a normal world they have a theater, they have a pool, they have a couple of outdoor spaces, and they have 2 or 3 indoor spaces that are social gathering places where they do activities. They have exercises every day. They just had a lot of different things that they can do. I like the décor, the atmosphere but the floor plan was the biggest factor for me."
