Memory Care Communities in Wisconsin Rapids, WI

"Point Manor is a nice place, and they keep it clean. There are 3 floors, and the first floor that my mother's on is the assisted living. They have their own private bathroom and a little kitchenette area where there is a microwave and a sink. It's not a big complex. My mother is perfectly happy there. I think they have a very varied menu. I feel the caregivers are nice people, and they care about their patients. They've gone out of their way since they know we now live two and a half hours away instead of just 2 miles from her. Overall, it's a good place. They had all kinds of things from arts and crafts, they play different games on weekly basis, bingo, apples to apples, they have musical people come in, and different events that they can socialize the residents. The staff does activities as far as picnics, Christmas parties, and family get togethers with potlucks. I think they do a pretty good job with the activities. "

"Maple Ridge of Plover Memory Care Campus has a really strong activities program, and so they work hard to keep the residents busy. They were very accommodating. It was so moving. The staff has always been very friendly and helpful. My aunt's room is an adequate size. They have a place where the residents shower, but they have their own toilet and sink in their room, which is nice. They have nice community gardens where the residents garden and then they eat the produce. They frequently post pictures of the residents on Facebook, too, which is nice for family members to stay informed. They have a really good cook there. A lot of homemade foods."

"Wellington Place of Whiting was a great place but my sister has to be assessed first before they can figure out a price point. It was very, very nice and the people who gave us the tour were fabulous. I would recommend it to anyone. It's a beautiful place."

"I visited Willow Brooke Pointe Senior Living. It was like they had taken over an old hotel, but it was very clean. They had done a nice job of remodeling. We looked at a single versus a studio. We did get to go through a couple of the libraries, the TV rooms, the recreational room, and the nutrition or eating area, and it was very nice. One interesting thing there was, they have an ice cream shop which was very unusual because this is probably the fifth or sixth one in the area that we had toured. So, that was a fun difference between all of the facilities that I saw. They just opened in the afternoon, so we didn't get to try anything there. They offered transportation and a certain level of medical expertise for giving shots and that type of thing. They did indicate that they could help take my mother to doctor appointments, dental appointments, and that type of thing. So, that was a good plus."

"I visited Copperleaf Assisted Living and Memory Care North Ridge for a little while, but we can't go there now because of the COVID. I think my husband is doing fine there. The rooms were fine, we toured them, and he settled on them; the rooms were good. The staff there was very loving. He's eating, so the food there must be good. It looks nice and the grounds are nice."

"My Mother has been at Sylvan Crossings for 3 years. The caregivers treat Mom like family and I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have them. When we learned that she had dementia a few years back after our thoughts of her just "being forgetful" came to light, I didn't know what to do next. They've taught me so much, Sylvan Crossings also holds a monthly meeting here in town for loved ones of those with Dementia. It's a small home that feels like home, nobody is ever just sitting in their bedrooms like I've seen at other places and I feel secure that Mom is in the best place she can be. "

"My mom is staying in the Stoney River of Marshfield Memory Care. On five different occasions, we found medication lying on her floor. One time my cousin was there, she thought my mom had died. I think it's because she got somebody else's medicine. A couple of times, we also found dirty diapers in her drawers so I'm basing it on that. It has also happened more than once. There's also a urine smell. It depends on what shift but I would say for the most part, the staff were nice. I don't know if they do their jobs completely, though. When they worked with her, they were very friendly, very nice, and very caring, but there were too many young ones. I think that's where the medication got laid on the floor and I think that's why she wasn't bathed completely. It was more with the changing of the younger staff. The older ones were more professional. For food, I guess they did okay. I didn't see chicken or mashed potatoes, though. A lot of it was more like casserole types of dishes. They have an outdoor place, a tiny little garden, but no library or anything like that. It used to be an elegant place with chandeliers and all that but now the stuffing is coming out of the furniture in big amounts and it looks shabby. For activities, they have bingo and different music groups coming in. I think they did some craft stuff, too. The director who did them was wonderful but she just quit. We're paying almost $9,000 a month. I think when the patient is incontinent, they should be cleaned up. I don't think there should be smears on beds and dirty diapers in the drawers. I think for $9,000 you should get a little bit of better care. They could improve with their help and the care of the people. From what I've seen, they're always hiring for new housekeeping. My mom has 5 or 6 dirty cups in the sink or sitting around all over her room because they don't carry them out. I think they could improve on cleaning a little bit. The carpeting is also kind of worn. The furniture is another thing they could upgrade. It doesn't have to be brand-new stuff, but at least get something that doesn't look shabby."

"My brother-in-law is at Liberty Village of Adams. It's the only assisted living facility in this town, and it's a good facility. We were satisfied when we had him there the initial time. They have a full-time activities director and a monthly schedule published. They have at least two or three activities daily from bingo to ball toss and a very strong program for activities. He enjoys the food better than he did at the other place he was in. I'm very happy with them."
