The Best Memory Care Communities in Walworth County, WI

"I just liked it. It was small and very homey. Rosewood is the most home-like facility I was at. The staff was good. I've seen the dining room. It's just like a home dining room. The facility is actually a house. They only have 8 beds in the entire facility. It is very small and very quaint. I would recommend this place to others. "

"I like the one where my mother is. She is at Arbor Village. Right at the moment, she is still trying to settle in. She is 99-1/2, and she isn't always 100% happy with the food. However, they seem to have quite a few activities. She doesn't participate in all of them, but she does do her morning stretch almost everyday. She does do some of their other activities. It's an adjustment when you go from your home, to the hospital, to the rehab, and then going to assisted living, so I can't blame her for that. However, I would recommend this facility. The owner is right there; his office is right in the facility. They have two other facilities. They have two senior apartment buildings, and they also have a memory unit. The people were very nice, and I like the fact that the owner is right there, and if you have a problem, he is right on it. The facility is very clean too. "

"My mother moved into Our House Senior Living - Whitewater Memory Care. The staff is all very, very nice. It has a warm and comfortable atmosphere. It's quite a small place; I think the maximum number of residents is 20. They do home cooking there. The staff members cook in kind of an open-concept kitchen dining room. Daily, they do activities, like arts and crafts, and bingo."

"I have found Fairhaven Senior Services and I have signed up. It has been very good. I will be moving in in December because they’re building a duplex for me. They had the stand alone duplexes, and I like that. The people there are very good. I was very satisfied. I like the nursing staff, and I like the atmosphere. It’s the highest in my estimation. I’ve seriously looked at four others, and this is the one I chose. I would say it’s very good. Probably the biggest reason I preferred Fairhaven was because of the possibility to live in a villa and not have to move into an apartment. I’m just not an apartment type of person, so it’s a personal preference. Fairhaven was a little bit better kept up than either of the other two places. It is better for the continuing care part. That was very important to me. "

"My grandmother moved in. There are two halls. They all have bedrooms down in each hall. And then there's a main living area and a little dining area, attached. I only interacted with the kitchen staff briefly. The ones with whom I interacted were pretty helpful and answered any questions I had. My grandmother has a decent-sized room. It's not huge by any means. There's a bathroom right off of it, so she doesn't even have to leave the room to go to the bathroom. There are two beds, and then there's a window with a little garden outside the window. She is signed up for a shared room, but there's no one else there at the moment. The food was very kid-friendly. It was chicken tenders cut up, potato salad, and jello."

"We liked Waterford Senior Living. It had good assisted living and memory care. It was well laid out, the rooms were good, the views were good, and it's in a peaceful setting. My mom was impressed that they had a little Dollar Store there. The downside was there is not a lot of crossover between the memory care and the assisted living facilities. My mom technically needs memory care, which would have isolated her more than we wanted. They have a big activity room, they have a piano there, they have people who come in and sing with the residents, and they have a hair salon."

"Elder Care Cottages is where I placed my father. I'm quite happy with it. There's a shortage of staff there, but considering that, they do a great job. My father's room is comfortable. They have gathering rooms and big TV rooms. They have lots of activities. Also, they have sun porches and a reading room with shelves of books. The staff members are very caring. They're very willing to go out of their way the best they can to help the people. They would call me with questions or comments, like they tell me that my father is not eating today, or he doesn't seem to feel well. Food is fine. It's not gourmet; it is a very considered menu. You know it's hard when you're trying to reach a number of different palates and a number of different eating levels, but I think they're doing a good job on that."

"Archwood Senior Living was very nice. It's a new facility here in the town where I live. I think it would be awesome, but according to my sister's caseworker, they wouldn't fund her to live there. The staff seemed nice from the ones that I saw. They were busy doing things and caring for whatever they needed to do. They have their own kitchen. It's very clean."

"Wisconsin Veterans Home - Union Grove was warm and welcoming. It was clean, the grounds were beautiful, and the residents all seemed glad to be there. There were families visiting with pets, and we were looking at the memory care area, and it was really nice. The staff was professional and friendly too. They stopped and talked to other residents, asking how they were doing that day. They weren't just saying, "Hi, how are you doing today?" Instead, it was like, "How was your daughter's birthday party? How was your visit? Is your daughter coming this afternoon?" So, they seemed to really know about their residents. The facility is large with all the artwork and the furnishings. It's just light and bright. All the staff were extremely helpful. Everyone from the groundskeeper to the security at the entrance were helpful and knowledgeable. They were topnotch. The facility was also beautiful and secure. They were very open about having a waiting list too, and they were helpful in filling out the application. It was amazing."

"I went to look at Wellington Meadows. I found the room to be okay. But I was a little concerned about the fact that they didn't have a regular cook, and they had no housekeeper. I wasn't comfortable with the way things were set up. I thought it was an older facility. The staff members were understanding. I saw somebody playing with a toy, and she was fascinated with the toy. They didn't have an activity director at the time, so that concerns me a little bit. The staff came forth with a lot of good information and everything. The facility seemed unkept."

"The staff at Wellington Place are so loving and caring, they go out there way to care for the residents. I feel so safe with my love one there, Thank you to all the staff at Wellington Place."

"We had a really good experience at Our House, Janesville Memory Care and are really happy with the care my dad is receiving. He actually gained some weight and really likes the people who take care of him. I feel like we’re really involved as far as decisions being made. The food is good, and he likes listening to the music they’re playing. Sometimes, they have special activities around the holidays. I would like better communication as far as activities for families to be involved in. "

"We visited Harbor House while in the Wisconsin area looking at possible places for our uncle to live. We really liked the exterior's beautiful landscaping with tree-lined walkways and ample seating areas. The residents may also safely navigate the grounds for outdoor exercise. This facility's many communal rooms include a library, warm living room and many other places for seniors to easily participate other stimulating activities. The dining areas were lovely, with nice decors and furniture. The food looked and smelled appetizing. The seniors are offered a variety of choices each day from the interesting menus. Healthy snacks are offered regularly and whenever desired. . The exercise center includes yoga and aerobics exercise classes. The equipment is available with instruction and assistance as needed. Residents are encouraged to exercise on a daily basis. The dining room was quite nice, with plenty of space. The food we saw looked and smelled delicious. The menus all had healthy food options for all kinds of diets. Healthy snacks are offered all day and into the evening, as well as whenever residents request them. The living spaces were generous, with thoughtful designs and lovely decors, each according to the resident's desires and needs. The bathrooms had safety rails and seats for easy access The planned activities include everything from exercise to hosted book readings and arts and crafts. The residents are also taken to the many interesting cultural events in Janesville and surrounding areas, such as art and music gatherings. The facility incorporates spiritual, educational, and social interests into the resident's individual life plans. The staff was caring to all of the residents we saw -- of varying capability. It is clear that all of the residents' needs are met very well at this facility. It was clear that the seniors really enjoyed living in their well designed environment. "
