Memory Care Communities in Sheboygan, WI

"My dad is doing very well here. So far, so good. The staff members are very helpful and very kind. Everybody seems to really like their job and like the residents and engage with residents constantly. There are lots of activities for them. They have been very cooperative. They are doing an amazing job. They provide all of my dad's personal care. They also drive him to doctor's appointments. They have three meals plus snacks."

"We toured Gables on the Pond Assisted Living for my mom. It was very welcoming from the time that we walked in. The activity director was the one that ended up giving us a tour. It was very clean and very inviting. She was very energetic, and she got other residents involved in the tour. We were able to go into a resident's room who invited us in to see how it was decorated, and we could personally ask them how they liked living there and if they would recommend it from one resident to another. I think that that person's testimonial was very telling. It was very well kept and didn't feel like a nursing home. It was very nice. We did not try their food as it was in the middle of the day, and it was between meals, but I did ask the resident if the food was good, and she said yes. We got handed a menu and we could tell what a monthly menu looks like and what kind of food offerings they give. It was just an open area. Just off the kitchen, is the activities area as well as dining. So, just a very open concept. Shannon, the activity director who toured us, was a great representation of the company. She's upbeat and got a ton of energy. One of the amenities is that they have entertainment, and I think she is just the key to the success of the place. She knew all the residents and personal stuff about them. She individualizes things for them. I think she made the tour. I would think every assistant living could use a Shannon. I think she makes the program, and the residents love her, they just have a big smile when she comes around in the room. It looked nice externally, as well as internally."

"My mother was at North Ridge Medical & Rehab for 6 weeks. The layout of the facility and the food was good, but I didn’t like it because she wasn’t well taken care of. We had to take her by ambulance to the hospital for a drug overdose. They had either given her too much or the wrong drug."

"I toured. It was really small. They only had 8 or 10 rooms, so it's limited on the number of people there. The people that I spoke with were friendly, courteous, and cordial. But what I didn't like was, because it was so small, it would be limited with activities and interaction with other people and stuff."

"The negative about Harbor Campus is it's a rehab of an old hospital, so the facility is not as nice. They did a reasonably good job of revamping it. When you go in, you feel like you are going into an old hospital. I don't think you can cover that up. The atmosphere in there was not as nice. One of the things that is a benefit is you didn't have to move into an assisted living room when you need more assistance. They said they could service you in your independent living room for quite a lot of nursing care like doing pills and physical therapy, all that kind of stuff. I think as long as you were mobile enough, if you weren't mostly bedridden kind of thing or anything like that, you didn't have to move out of independent living. All the staff was nice."

"I went to Lincoln Village Senior Living. The rooms were small. They're $5895 for a two-bedroom. There was no parking for the residents. There was no storage for like your Christmas tree. They were the ones who suggested to me that I give my Christmas tree to my kids and then go see it at Christmas, and that didn't sit well with me. The staff was good, though. They answered my questions."

"It was very nice, clean, and pretty modern. The people I talked to seemed very caring and nice. The rooms are clean, pretty modern, and have plenty of room. I saw they were playing bingo and cards. Some were doing some kind of craft."

"My uncle is in Abridge Care Cottages of Chilton. It has been a pretty good experience. They always call and let me know how he's doing. I think the care has been relatively pretty good. The cooking is good. I have been there several times when he's eating. His room is just basically one room with a bathroom, but it's a good size room. He's got room for a full-size bed, a dresser, a chest of drawers, a standard recliner, and a bench. The staff has been friendly with me. They've been good. If I ask any questions, they're always willing to assist or advise. They have a dining area. They have an activity area. They do have a large outdoor area that is gated, where nobody can wander off. They do rehabilitation and exercises. As far as an activity, I know he participates in bingo. They do drawings at times and a little bit of art stuff."

"I liked that Serenity Villa V was a smaller community. It had private baths with showers. It had a lot of activities where the residents not only participated in the community but outside of the community as well. They had a therapy pet. I just really, really liked it. The rooms were fine and adequate. They were very similar to other communities I viewed. They had a dorm-size refrigerator in each room. What was very important to us was the private baths. They had a very cozy gathering space with a fireplace. They had a very inviting dining room. They had a very open community space that looked out onto their patio. Beyond the patio, which was very nice, was a little body of water. So, it was very picturesque."
