Independent Living Communities in Baldwin, WI

"My dad was a resident of Woodland Hill before. The buildings were very bright, very inviting, and clean. The staff was friendly, helpful, and very responsive. The food and the activities were good. There could be some opportunity to improve on the activities though. It seemed that during the week they offered a lot of stuff when the main staff was there, but on the weekends, not so much. It got pretty quiet. It would be nice to have more options on the weekends. Other than that, it's a beautiful building. My dad's room was very nice. He had a 1083-square-foot one-bedroom, that had a den in it and a kitchen that was very, very well organized. There's a living area and a balcony that looks down to a beautiful garden with ponds and woods. The bedrooms were well laid out and the bathroom was very spacious. He also had a washer-dryer in his unit. So, he got more than enough room and I thought the independent living was a good price for the facility."

"I toured Cambridge Senior Living - Hudson. It seemed very homey. The rooms were nice. I like the little bistros and all the different activities that they had for the patients. The person who took me around was very knowledgeable and very caring. It seemed like she could answer all my questions. It was a newer building. It was very clean, well-kept, and very welcoming. I felt like it was very welcoming and homey. The only reason we're not considering it is that it's the farthest away. I like that the rooms had little kitchenettes in them. I thought that would have been nice for my mom. The room would be easy to make it like home."

"My friends really like the Wintergreen Apartments. They have many activities, good meals, a place for physical therapy, a gym, and transportation a few times a week for people who are in the independent living. They have different activities throughout the year. The homes are all connected, so you can go from one to the other, and the senior center is located in that complex. They have movies and churches. The place is one of the nicest ones around here. "

"Very happy with the care. It has been a trying year with COVID. Things have had to change for safety it has been hard on all of us. Dad isn't happy about some change but, it is for his safety, too. The staff has been great to work with if we have a question. There are plenty of activities we have been involved with to keep residents busy. Hopefully some will be started up again. This has been very hard on the elderly. I know dad cannot wait to go to dining room for his meals. This is one thing he misses the socialization of others. The rooms are nice. Thank you all for what you do.."

"Wonderful! My mother has lived here for 3+ yrs. She has really enjoyed being part of the friendly community. The amenities are great. The facility is warm and comfortable. Feels like home. The staff is fabulous! They honestly care about each resident. They are very proactive in providing the best care. They are also extremely responsive to any needs and concerns. We are so thankful that this is Mom’s home. "

"Boutwells Landing was pretty much exactly what I was looking for. They had very nice people. The only thing I did not like or couldn't handle was the price. The people I met during the tour were very helpful, very polite, kind, and just helpful. Everything was clean, bright, and nice, even the garage was clean."

"The Oaks is a very nice community and relatively small as opposed to the other ones with hundreds of units. This only has 37 units, so you're pretty much a member of a community. You're not going to be lost in the crowd like in a large community. It's relatively rural. You look out the back window, and there's nothing but trees and grass. They only serve one mid-day meal. It's as nice as any hotel I've ever stayed in. The people are caring, and it's clean. "

"The Lakes at Stillwater is a beautiful facility. It looks like a lodge out in the woods. They have an area for classes, they have an amphitheater, and they have a fire pit. They have a lot of outdoor spaces. The common areas are cozy and beautiful. They have a restaurant. It was cozy. It looked like a five-star hotel. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, too."

"Everything that I have experienced at Christian Community Home of Osceola has been positive. It is a very comfortable and warm place. The staff is nice. They allow animals to come visit. People bring their dogs to help patients. I can't see anything bad there. It is a new facility and it is close to the hospital. Standards are pretty high. You can get into the hospital through this place. I did eat there one time, it was fair. "

"Talamore Senior Living Woodbury went out of their way to be friendly. They showed me around and gave me lots of choices. They're very open and very talkative about their facility. Their apartments were probably the most unique of all the places I visited. Some of them were oddly shaped, so that they didn't look like an apartment building. They have angled walls and bigger patio areas on some. The staff was very nice. After I left they called and asked how I liked their tour and all that kind of stuff, so that's good, because they didn't forget you right away. They came to the senior center in Cottage Grove to do a sales pitch. They brought dinner from their facility and their food was fantastic. Their dining area was big and open. It's a relatively new facility."

"I have been pleased with the care my mom got once they worked out the kinks in the system and continue to work on any issues that come up. It takes a special kind of person to be able to do this difficult work and many of the staff are very caring. Mom was dressed and clean everyday which made her feel good. Her room kept clean. My mom was in the memory care where she felt loved and cared for. The staff would come in and give her a big hug and call her "Mama" and chat with her and learn her history. Even a 102 birthday party. Personal interaction was very important to her and her family. My family thanks you all for your dedication."

"I have a friend who's in the assisted living at Stonecrest. She thinks it's a great place, and she very much likes it. I visited her twice in her apartment, and I was out on the patio once on a nice day. They have a nice place in the back. There's a pond there. The people were just so nice. It had a lot of options. The facility itself was very nice. They had a lot of activities going on. It was very well kept up. They had lots of areas where you could go and sit and talk. They had some outdoor space, too. My friend's apartment was a very decent size, and she had what she needed. She didn't have any complaints, but she's only been there for a little bit. I haven't eaten there, but my friend is very happy with the food."

"I visited Oak Meadows. Kim is the lady that I met with, and she was so accommodating and answered every question. She gave us a really good tour and was able to point out the positives. They have an optional meal plan; you can get it or you don't. The layout is super convenient. It combines both independent living and the assisted living for certain activities. You have a cross-section of people involved. The layout is very sensible and the facility itself is beautiful. They have three units: independent, assisted living, and then the regular nursing home. That was the only one that I visited. I thought it was affordable."

"I visited Hastings Senior Health & Living to look at their independent living. The place seemed very friendly and open. They were getting ready for an event, so the people were gathering in the lobby area and it seemed like they were happy. It was also very nice, clean, and very nicely decorated. The person who assisted me was friendly but I thought she was a little absent-minded. The dining facility seemed small to me but it was also filled up with people who were getting ready for the event that day so I don't know for sure. They have entertainment that comes in frequently. Then, regularly, they have movies, arts and crafts, and things like that."
