Independent Living Communities in Hudson, WI

"I love living at Keystone. I am in the independent living and my husband is in the memory care. Very convenient for me. The room sizes and closets are perfect and the food is great. I can sit out on the balcony and read. Lots of activities if you want to participate."

"Our tour at Minnehaha Senior Living was very nice. It was very informative. I thought the actual facility was very homey, nice, and clean. They had a lot to offer, which was nice. The staff was very nice. She was exceptional."

"Abiitan Mill City is my favorite. If I wanted to stay in Minneapolis, I would move there. It is located near the river. The streets are lined with trees. There are lots of good restaurants within walking distance. The Guthrie Theater is within walking distance, too. Great transportation is available, from the light rail to buses. The rooms were beautiful with huge windows. They had lovely common spaces, indoors and outdoors. There were lots of arts in the hallways that I found to be very contemporary. There was a lively feeling about the staff and the residents I met. There were many happy people there."

"I liked Havenwood of Richfield really well. I just didn't like it being on the other side of the river from me. The rooms were quite spacious, but the kitchens were probably a third of what the apartment was. For a one-bedroom apartment, it is kind of ridiculous to have the kitchen be so huge when they're providing two meals a day. I just felt that they could have had more living space. The living room/dining area was tiny. There was no living space. It's all kitchen. Everything was clean, neat, and well-organized. The staff was very friendly. Their social activities director's dad lived there. I think that's a pretty awesome statement that the staff would want or have their family members living there."

"The Ecumen Parmly (Margaret S Parmly) is actually a very wonderful place, very clean, friendly, and nice. They do have assisted living, and we are trying to get my mother in there. She went in there Thursday last week, and the people working there were very friendly. It is very clean and very beautiful. It’s a large facility, but each section has its own wing. They have entertainers that come in, and they have TVs. The atmosphere was very good. The room is not that bad; they have like six people in there and each has plenty of room. She has her own bathroom, TV, a chair, and a table. She gets assistance getting to the wheelchair and then to the bathroom. They come very quickly when she pushes the button, and then the person that comes in would do wound care. They are very good, and they listen to her. "

"I went to Ecumen Seasons at Apple Valley. The place had a very welcoming atmosphere from the time I walked in and every time I contacted them and went back subsequently. Since my mom lives in Florida, I had to take pictures to bring down to her and show her. They are very accommodating and able to walk through what I want. And the neighborhood just felt like what she wanted to live in. They offer one-bedroom apartments. There are lots of different daily activities. There are things if she needs it, like the meals if she wants it. It just fit for what we were looking for. And we're not paying for things that she currently doesn't need. That was one of my biggest things. I didn't want to pay for meals if my mom wasn't going to use them. And that was the other one I had that was included. It was more expensive and we couldn't opt out of the daily meals, which I'm like well, she's not going to eat. She still cooks for herself."

"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 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 am so happy they we chose Red Cedar Canyon Senior Living for my mom. First of all, the staff made it very homey for her…. Not sterile and cold like so many assisted living facilities. I toured multiple facilities before selecting RCC and in my opinion the choice was clear. My mom’s apartment was beautiful and well maintained; the administration is well run, she absolutely loved the food served in the dining room, the nursing staff is top notch, and the activities director was simply amazing! I cannot say enough how warm, friendly, caring, and professional the entire staff is. Everyone at RCC is dedicated to providing the best care and experience possible. Thank you Red Cedar Canyon for being so wonderful to my mom."

"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."

"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."
