Independent Living Communities in Eau Claire, WI

"My mom was in Oakwood Hills for four-and-a-half years. My mom passed away last December 8th, but I stop in there periodically because I knew other residents there that were friends of my mom. I was always very pleased with Oakwood Hills. I thought it was a great facility. Their attention to the residents and all of that, I would give a 5, but I think that the building needs some updating like new carpeting and good working appliances. The food was good. They've gone through a number of different chefs last year. Depending on the chef, it could be very, very good. They had nice activities, but my mom couldn't go on those towards the last two-and-a-half years or so like trips to a facility of some sort, shopping or whatever. In house, they did the bingo and other games, they had music played inside, and there's a piano player or a guitar player that would sing in the atrium. We were satisfied definitely with that."

"I thought this place had a great area. There is a cute little park across the street and a dormitory. There are plenty of side walks and there is the hospital right by. There are a lot of great walks near by and my grandparents smoke, they are able to look at nice things while they sit and smoke. It is right next to campus so it is fun for them to see young people. My grandparents never complain about the staff. They seem to be respectful and helpful. It is giving my grandparents just the amount of care that they require. There are fun activities for them to do which is great for them. They seem to really like getting to know the other people. The only complaint they seem to have is with their rooms, which seem nice to me. My grandparents think they are too small and they want to be able to smoke in their rooms. I live in a dorm room so the rooms seemed spacious and nice. I think this facility helped my grandparents greatly with the transition between home living and assisted living. "

"If you are looking for a true "Adult Living" type facility in a semi-rural location, I think you've found one of the best. When I say Adult Living, I mean just that. At the time of my visit there was not one person seen using a walker or wheelchair. This is as opposed to many facilities that I've seen where most people are very handicapped and barely above the "Assisted Living" level. The people living here are ACTIVE adults. If you want a friend to go hunting, fishing or golfing with, I think that you can find one here "
