"The staff is very good. I am very pleased with what I am experiencing at this point at Cherished Place. We can just walk back and forth because it is near the place where we are staying. I am comfortable leaving my wife there. However, considering they are open only during weekdays, I occasionally use another day care center for my wife during weekends. "

"My aunt and uncle live in here. I have visited them many times there. When we knew we had to put my mom into assisted living, we thought that she could go there, because she would have her family and she's already familiar with the spaces, but they don't have the type of care that she needs. Other than that, the staff was amazing. It's a newer facility. The facilities are beautiful. My aunt and uncle moved in when it was brand new. They have a state-of-the-art rehab facility, a movie theater, a little cafe where residents can come and read their morning paper, and a community room that has a big baby grand piano in it and where they can have happy hour and social time with the other residents. They have a beautiful back patio and all these little reading nooks for those who wanted to leave their private space/apartment. It's really lovely. They do painting classes and my aunt loves it, too."

"Oak Park Place was my father’s first choice. We went there and agreed as it seems like a nice, clean facility. The people working there are top notch. So far, the work ethics look very good. They have been in contact with me two or three times a week to let me know what’s going. The room is basically an older size bedroom, and the bathroom is a good size bathroom with a shower. I ate there once, it was good, and I keep asking my folks who also say the food is good. They do all kinds of things in memory care. They take you outside, they have movies and TV, and they have a lot of movies that they play. The staff plays with the residents, and they do field trips and take them for rides. The memory care unit is all alarmed. If the alarm goes off, they’re right on it. My dad is a wanderer; he went downstairs a couple of times looking for his car which he doesn’t have anymore, and they were right on it. "

"I toured the Layton Terrace Senior Community. I liked it. It was very nice, but it wasn't what I was looking for. It didn't have the amenities that I was looking for. I just visited with the person in charge, and she was wonderful. She explained everything that they had and showed me around the nice room. Most of them were full, so we had to depend on one of the residents to allow us to come into their apartments to look at them. They were all very accommodating. They were all very friendly. They were all very nice. The dining area was very nice. It was just a very nice size for the amount of people that were there. It wasn't a crowded place."

"My mother-in-law will be moving into Harbour Village. We worked with the gentlemen, and he was so responsive about every question we had. He just seemed very open. He gave us options on rooms. He explained everything about the place. The food seems pretty good. The residents were moving about and happy. It was just a nice place. The facility was very clean. It's just like they had a lot to offer. They have activities. We did have our mother-in-law tour it as well, and she liked the place. We got superb cookies. The dining room was very large, very clean, open, and organized. They have outside dining if you want to go outside and sit on patios. They've got a beauty salon, barbershop, and exercise room. They do daily activities. They have trips that they could go to stores or restaurants."

"We toured Discovery Commons Brookfield. I viewed a one-bedroom apartment. It was very nice. It's a beautiful facility. It's quite glamorous. It's larger. I thought it looked nice. They take care of their employees very well. I was told that they're really into making their employees happy, which will make the residents happy. They offer a lot of care for assisted living. My first impression is that the people aren't quite as sick as they are at the other facility. They rejected my aunt at the last minute. They did an assessment, which was rushed. Maybe they don't feel capable for people who need a lot of care and daily attention. My aunt is still somewhat bedbound. It hasn't been that long since she had her surgery. She needs a lot of physical therapy. She's 100 years old. You can't expect her to be in the condition of a 70-year-old, I guess, which is what I'm getting at. The staff that I met, the director and her assistant, were good. It's very clean and organized. They had a library. It's two-story, and the hallways are so long. I mean, I kept picturing my aunts navigating those halls."

"I had a nice tour of Brookdale. The staff was very friendly and informative. It was a nice facility, and it was close to me. It’s in the city of Brookfield, and yet there’s a lot of nature around, trees and places to walk outside. I saw a one room area and wasn’t aware that there were other choices. The food was pretty good. "

The state of Wisconsin, the city of Milwaukee and a number of private nonprofit entities have an array of agencies that provide support to older adults living with cognitive issues. These organizations can help such Milwaukeeans make social connections, find financial assistance and address quality of care issues in long-term care facilities.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Long-Term Care Ombudsman | (800) 815-0015 | Representatives of this office respond to reports of quality-of-care complaints filed by residents of assisted living communities, including memory care facilities and nursing homes. In addition to investigating potential abuse or neglect, ombudsmen can help older adults choose facilities that most match their needs and point families to organizations that can provide financial assistance with paying for that care. |
| Alzheimer's & Dementia Alliance of Wisconsin | (608) 232-3400 | The ADAW is a nonprofit group that offers emotional and social support to older adults in Wisconsin living with cognitive issues and their caregivers. Caregiver support includes therapy groups, connections to respite care and educational seminars regarding effective communication with adults undergoing behavioral changes. The ADAW's Memory Cafe program is aimed at providing a safe, stimulating social space for adults with dementia. |
| Medigap Helpline | 800-242-1060 | This helpline is open to Wisconsin residents age 65 and older. It assists such residents with health insurance information and provides assistance with Medicare Advantage Plans, Medicare Supplement Insurance and more. Provided by the State of Wisconsin Board on Aging and Long Term Care, this helpline is not affiliated with any specific insurance provider. |
| Dementia Care Specialist Program | 608-266-1865 | This program is under the direction of the Wisconsin Department of Health Services. Its charter focuses on providing information and support to adults with memory issues and their caregivers, developing communities in which seniors with cognitive issues can enjoy a strong quality of life and training medical staff in dementia issues. Webinars cover topics such as determining safety to drive, the psychological effects of living in social isolation and the importance of building support networks. |
