Continuing Care Retirement Communities Communities in Mount Horeb, WI

"This facility is top notch. My mother-in-law spent the last couple months of her life in the long-term care area. The staff are very attentive and caring. Everyone from administration to all the caregivers we met showed high integrity and a commitment to do good work. Hospice was also outstanding. We're very grateful and would highly recommend Attic Angels to others."

"The staff was very welcoming, nice and all around in a pretty good mood. The food is not too bad tasting, and is healthy food for the clients. The clients are able to get up and move around and get excersise. They have actuivities for the clients and they provide entertainment every now and then for them, which they enjoy a lot. "

"We really liked Waunakee Manor but it's quite a ways from where we live now. It was very clean and it smelled nice. The staff was friendly and open to any of our questions. They showed us all around and we even got to meet the cook, and they showed us the backyard that had a baseball diamond back there. They said people could sit out and watch baseball games in the summer if they like that sort of thing. They showed us one room that was furnished and then they showed us one room that was unfurnished, so we could get an idea of how big the room was. They showed us the dining area. They have a nursing home attached, so if that was needed, that's available there. The dining room was open and there were a lot of tables in there, and they said everybody could come and find a table and get to know the other people. It wasn't mealtime when we were there, so there were just a few people there. They were having a musical performer while we were there and there were a few people there watching. They have a lot of different activities in that area during the afternoon. In their room, they have a small refrigerator to keep snacks and things in and a microwave if they wanted to use it. They had laundry services that they did and housekeeping. The meals were three times a day, so it was something we were looking for. We met the cook and we got a sample menu."

"My mother is at Skaalen Retirement Services Inc. It's been very good. All of the caregivers are wonderful. The staff has been really helpful and concerned that she has the best experience possible. The room setup is nice, clean, and well-maintained. They have a covered area with benches outside that's quite large and nice. The landscaping is very pretty. There are lots of different flowers to look at and it's shaded. It's like a pavilion that has a top. They have activities out there a lot. My mom likes to be outside. They have a smaller covered area as well with a sofa and chairs. My mom's there for rehab, and we've loved the care. The staff has all been very nice to her. She's in a newer area, and it's very nice. I was in there every day for five weeks with her, and they were always very, very caring. They know me by name. I did not meet anybody who was not kind to my mom. My mom said the food was much better than hospital food. I have nothing bad to say about them. They have food available for the residents as far as beverages. There's always coffee available even for family. There are little soda cans and juice that are available. They've been very gracious. My brother lives nearby and they brought him a tray when he's come to sit and eat with her. They've made us feel really at home. They know what my mom likes, like the dietary aide knows that. She knows she likes fresh fruit, so she'll make sure she gets that. They send aides around before every meal and ask them what they would like for that meal down to what they want to drink. They get a meal plan once a week, but their order is taken before every meal. They have a regular entree. If you don't like that, there's an alternative, like a soup and sandwich or something that you could eat if you didn't like what was being served. They do special things. They try to have something in the morning and the afternoon each day for the residents of the whole place and they do their best to include them there and encourage them to take part in it. Because of the pandemic, they aren't offering as many activities as they used to. They have a crafts room, but they haven't made that available since the pandemic, and that would be nice for my mom. We're very comfortable having our mom there. We're very confident that she is getting very good care that's individualized to her needs. They've been very receptive to the concerns that we've had and things that we wanted to be included in her care. They've been very helpful."

"I am in an independent living facility called KindredHearts Senior Living. I've just moved in this February. My experience is wonderful. I'm in one of one-bedroom apartments. Well, it is only a couple of 100 yards to walk to the three-story building where the dining room is, and I could eat three meals a day if I want to, but I only eat a couple of meals a week. They also have a heated pool there that I could use if I want to. Also there is an office in the three-story building that has also a place where music is performed sometimes and other activities. I'm rating KindredHearts the highest rating, that's why I'm choosing to stay here. "
