Independent Living Communities in Green Bay, WI

"I moved into Golden Venture Apartments. The price and the location were right, so I grabbed it as soon as I could. I'm just as happy as I can be here. I am in an efficiency apartment, which is quite small. But as long as I can get things in here and still live, that's all that matters to me. Everything is very well arranged, and everything works. I keep myself busy by doing crafts. They play bingo. We make our own food. This is a security-locked building, so we don't have to worry about people coming in and disturbing us, and that's good. I've had a lot of help from these people. They could use better cleanliness. Everything in this apartment is included, like heat, water, utilities, and cable. They go according to your income. I'm very happy."

"Primrose Retirement Community of Appleton was real nice. They had two-bedrooms and everything was new and in good shape. The layout was OK too. They had some washers and dryers. The only thing that I thought that they were missing was the coat closet and a pantry room. We only talked to the chef and never got to taste the food."

"We visited Aspire Senior Living. They're friendly and I love the place. The staff member was awesome. They showed us everything and showed us all around. We saw all their amenities and they explained the meal plans that they have there and all the entertainment stuff. They explained the religious ceremonies they had and showed us an apartment."

"Renaissance has very nice facilities and really great living spaces for the people. Everything is top-notch and excellent, including the dining facility, the activities, and the spacious rooms. It's a very well-kept place. "

"I did a tour of Ridgeview Highlands, and it was excellent. The apartment was so nice, it was exactly what I needed. My mother's cousin lived in this community a number of years, for a long time, and always enjoyed it; so, that was kind of what I based my decision on. They're all wonderful and very helpful to us. You can tell how nice they are by the way they greet the residents when they run into them. All the residents greet them so well, that's a really good relationship. They have a one-bedroom, a two-bedroom one-bath, a two-bedroom two-bath, and a townhome. They just have a wide variety of options. There's a large room that you could rent with a kitchen. Then there's a sunroom, a game room, and it has a pool table, a library, and an exercise room. They have a list of daily activities that they do for the people if you want to participate. They don't offer food service. They have 500 apartments, and I'm in one of the three-story buildings; they have many, many buildings. It's perfect for me, absolutely. The location, the building, it seems so well-maintained."

"Eagle Point Senior Living was gorgeous, and they were very accommodating, and they had numerous services. It was an awesome place. It had the scenic views of the river. It was almost like too luxurious for our father, that's why we ended up not staying there. The apartment was very spacious and very well thought out. It was great. You couldn't have asked for anything more. It was a two-bedroom, two-bath, and it had its own stackable washer and dryer, full kitchen, living room, and balcony. It was super nice. Everything looked very well maintained and everything was clean. It looked like they took care of the place quite well. They had a workout facility and a place to get your haircut, they had different classes available, like movement type classes, and they had this gorgeous large TV room where they could have a movie night. They had everything imaginable. It was definitely a resort type of facility."

"Appleton Retirement Community was recommended through a friend who had their mother staying there. We have chosen this community for my mom because they have the most activities compared to the other places. The staff are always there to help whenever my mom presses her button. They're very helpful. They have a couple movie nights a week. They have bus trips to local parks. They have community bands that come and play at the center. They have multiple different areas for cards, bingo, and virtual bowling. They have amenities like a salon, a theater, game rooms, and card rooms."

"The Heritage and Peabody Manor Community provides more care than where my mom was living before, and it is not as expensive. She is in the community-based residential facility part, but they also have a skilled nursing facility adjacent to it. So, if she gets to the point where she needs that additional care, she can be moved to that location. We're very lucky that my sister found out about this place because they had two openings and they had not had an opening for quite some time. The other thing was my mother was transferred directly from the hospital to this facility and it worked out well. They have a higher ratio of CNAs to residents and they have an RN available 24/7. She's also receiving physical therapy. They're going to try to give her speech therapy as well. I would highly recommend this place. The other good thing about it is they have their own bus to transport residents to medical appointments. I sat with my mom for several meals while she ate and the variety of food that they offered and the quality of it were good. People have designated seats in the dining room, so it's a very nice atmosphere. It is well-appointed. It's got two windows on two sides and they have woods around the campus. It's got a nice restful view. All of the different facilities in it were clean. Both my sister and I were impressed. On Fridays, they have members of the Fox Valley Symphony Orchestra come and perform. My mom has gone to that activity, but they have all kinds of other activities. I feel that it's a good value for the money, especially considering the amount of attention and care that my mom gets, which are very important."

"Bayside Senior Living was very nice. The rooms were good sizes. They had all the features I'm looking for. We didn't meet any of the people that live there, but the person who gave the tour was great. The facility is handicapped, so it is really nice. They have a community room. They have an exercise room. They have a game and computer room. There is an outside area for a patio, and there is also an inside area if you want to sit by the fireplace in the winter. It pretty much has everything that we need. We've filled out the application, but we don't know for sure yet. We like it a lot."

"Touchmark on West Prospect had a lot of great stuff. It's obviously way more expensive, but they had tons of activities for you, it's got a beautiful setting, and they had lots of different options for levels of care and spaces. They had one apartment that had a little kitchenette and a couple models of other sizes. They had a gazebo, some other little patios, and some of the apartments had balconies as well. Emily was really very knowledgeable and very nice. She seemed to anticipate a lot of questions we might have before we even knew we had them. She was just very, very helpful, and very, very nice."

"The rooms are plenty spacious. The food has a very good selection for those looking for variety. The staff were overall, so good with my Dad. He had his 10 favorites, each one giving him special attention that he craved. The people in charge are flexible to make positive changes."
