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

"I moved in to The Village at Victory Lakes last January. It's very well-maintained and clean. The food is agreeable -- not the greatest but not the worst. The rooms are fine, and the CNAs and nurses are helpful and do what's needed. I play Bingo and some other group games. They have a large area where most of us can gather in and participate in different kinds of activities. They also have two buses, and they take you to doctor's appointments. The independent living has a tavern, a movie theater, a little country store to buy food, and a regular wine and beer bar."

"My wife was at Victory Lakes for her rehab but she passed away last April. The food was fine. The service was excellent. She got to know most of the people there and they took expert care of her. They were very attentive to her to meet her needs. It was just a very pleasant experience. "

"We are on a waiting list at Tudor Oaks Senior Living Community. Some of the retirement homes do not have advanced care and they're not certified for advanced care, but Tudor Oaks has all levels of care. I liked the layout of the rooms and the services provided. The social services, and physical therapy services, all of that was very helpful. They would provide church services. I saw the library, the eating area, the restaurant area, and the entertainment area where they have movies and speakers come in. There was an outside gazebo area where they had live music in the summer. They had outdoor patios, which were very, very nice. The place was kept very, very clean. The staff was cheerful, and helpful, and wanted to express how happy they were."

"Village at Manor Park has everything, they're a continuum community and they have everything. We toured independent living, we toured their long-term healthcare, but we didn't tour their memory unit. They also have rehabilitation. The Aurora Health Care has a community clinic on their campus. It's a very large community, and we have been trying to get accepted there because it's certainly at the top of our list. And they will accommodated you. For instance, if they don't have the room you want they will put you someplace when you're ready to move, at least until a room opens up. What stood out to me was that the person we spoke to sat down and asked what we wanted, and we just dropped by there unannounced a couple weeks ago. The people we've engaged in the halls seemed to be very happy to be there. This is the place where the amenities excel every other place we've been to. They have literally a catalog, and they have a program for people of the community. They might take you by bus to the outskirts of Chicago to a play, they might take you to Madison, or other places. These are all the commercial buses, it's not cheap (it's $80 a person per trip), but that would include a meal. We have seen nothing that matches that in terms of what they offer. Also, their location is a few miles away from the Medical College, Froedtert Health Center, West Allis Memorial Hospital, and St Luke's, which is an internationally-known cardiac hospital. So the location is excellent, and they're in a residential neighborhood. The building is aged, and it varies. One of the unusual things is that they're connecting their newest routing with another independent residence that they have abridged over the drive. It's actually a very large and pleasant space that takes you over, and they have ground parking. The rates there are unbelievably low, and include ten meals a month, for a rate of $2,200. And the apartment they made arrangements for us to see was very adequate. All of their buildings are connected either by a bridge or by tunnels. They have a fitness program, a bistro, and a formal dining room, and their chef has been there 15 years."
