Independent Living Communities in Stevens Point, WI

"Dimensions Living Stevens Point is really nice. It seemed like the staff was very professional. I was looking for a two-bedroom, and they had two-bedroom units. The staff seemed great. They have activities, and my mom likes the Bible group and that type of stuff. I toured the assisted living, but I understand that they have an independent living section as well. Whoever gave me the tour did a great job. I thought they were really good. They've reached out numerous times since then just to check if we had any questions."

"I liked Nekoosa Court. I was impressed. I like it. The staff was friendly. The residents seemed to be doing well. The rooms were very nice, well kept clean. Seemed like a lot to offer as far as activities and things to do. We got a packet that tells you everything. We saw the sample menu. My mother liked it also. I just like the look and the atmosphere and all that they had to offer. We were introduced to some of the staff and it just seemed like a good fit for my mom."

"Willow Brooke Point Senior Living had some nice folks and it's a nice place. I went there a couple of years ago and had lunch with someone from the company, and the food was excellent. The staff were very informative, concerned, and have all the good attributes you could think of. One particular room that I saw was pretty nice because it looked out over a little pond. They had a good dining area as well and it was just very clean. It's a place where I would move if I had to."

"My father was there . He was very hard to please. But he loved it. Great staff and food. I checked alot of places , this Riverview is way the finest in the area. Beautiful, very peaceful location. That's what a home should be. They have and can provide different levels of care if needed. "

"Park Vista Retirement Living is very beautiful. I like the setting. It’s set right on a golf course. It’s very close to town, but it’s off the road. It’s all covered with trees. I thought it was not at all institutionalized. My in-laws have a 1-bedroom, but the facility has 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and studio apartments. It has a full kitchen. The rooms are beautiful, well kept, all freshly painted when you move in, and new carpeting. The staff is very friendly, very accommodating, and really easy to talk to. All meals are included for independent and assisted living. The food is wonderful. $5 to $6 for me to eat there, and then if somebody wants to stay overnight, they have a room there that they can pay $40 a night. There’s a bus, and they go shopping 3x a week. They’ll take you to any of your appointments; that’s all included. They’ll take you if you wanted to go somewhere and if it wasn’t scheduled -- or if the bus wasn’t running that day -- you call the taxi, and that would be free. The only thing you have to pay for is your phone service. They’re pretty happy since they moved from Arizona. My mother-in-law looked 100% better in 4 weeks just because she’s eating. "

"My parents have moved into the Primrose Retirement Community of Wausau. Everyone has been very open and welcoming. They've had a great reach out to them for being new. People were stopping in, checking if they wanted to attend any of the activities and things planned. They've had an opportunity to pretty much eat with someone new every day. It's probably been about as easy as a transition as I would have expected it to be. It is still challenging leaving their house, but they felt that the people there cared for them and their well-being. My parents' room has a nice walk-in closet, large bathroom space, plenty of storage between hallway closets, cabinets, and things like that. There are lots of room for that. There's a nice view out the window because it's more of a country setting. There is a wide variety of food. You can request an alternative 24 hours ahead of time if you don't like what is being served the next day. For the amenities, there is a movie theater, an ice cream parlor, a pub, a gaming room, and an exercise room. They have bingo, crossword puzzles, card games, sing-a-longs, and community movie nights. It has a covered front porch area with rocking chairs. It has a back green area with a gazebo, picnic tables and benches. Maintenance and upkeep have been wonderful. Like when we moved in, all the flooring was replaced and updated. They have a maintenance person on-site, so any time there is an issue, you just talk to him, and he will take care of it. He hung up my parents' paintings and their decorations in their apartment. The place is very clean and very nice. They have been doing a great job. They have been very good. They have been great at communicating with me, too, which is very nice. They accept pets, and that's one of the huge things. My parents had a concern with their dog last night, and the members called me to just say, 'We haven't heard from your parents for a while. They went to the emergency vet and we're just worried about them.' So they're good at checking in and making sure and taking an interest in their lives."
