Nursing Home Communities in Appleton, WI

"My grandma recently passed away while being a resident of Oakridge Gardens Nursing Facility. She was only there for a short amount of time. In that time she was very weak and declining in health rapidly. The staff there was top notch. They were very helpful, and would take time out to answer any questions you had. They communicated very well her status and daily activities when no one (family) was there. They were very helpful with her and anything she needed. Being given meds, helping her eat, or just helping her get around or reposition her self in bed. The building was very clean, warm and welcoming with a nice lounge area. I also thought it was nice that the staff would offer visitors food items that were left over from time to time. Which was very good. All in all the few short months my grandmother was a resident at Oakridge Gardens was a very pleasant few months. I am sure my grandmother passed away happy and comfy. Never once did she complain about any of the staff, and let me tell you this, if she had any negative thoughts about them she would have voiced it! "

"My mom had to be in a nursing home for a few days after her hospitalization. She knew this name but didn't know anyone who stayed. Parkside had received a call from the hospital that she'd be coming but was not prepared. She needed to be quarantined for 2 days as she had had the flu. They assigned a single, dirty room that had been used as storage. We got it emptied and somewhat cleaned. I had to make up her bed. She told me that when she used the bathroom that night, there were silverfish, spiders, and other bugs in the bathroom and the shower was not cleaned. She insisted it be cleaned with bleach before she used it. I went shopping to find a mattress pad because she complained the bed was so uncomfortable. I found a 4" foam pad that made her much more comfortable. She ended up staying for about 8 days. She told me she never wanted to go there again. She said the food and therapists were very good but the other staff wasn't as attentive."

"My uncle is at St. Paul Elder Services. For the most part, it's been very good. The only thing is that once we finally got him set up to go in there, it was a little difficult to get a hold of people, and to get phone calls back. Other than that, his care seems to be great; the staff seems great. He's very happy and satisfied there. Overall, it's been a pretty good experience. We haven't been inside because of Covid, but it's a pretty nice facility."

"My brother is in Edenbrook Oshkosh for rehab. They're taking very good care of him. He's comfortable there and he's settled in. The staff is good. They listen. If I have a problem with something, they take care of it. They have been very helpful and pleasant. My brother doesn't have any problems with them. They have an activity guy. It's a single-story building. It's an old building, but they redid the inside."

"My mother is in Good Shepherd right now, and she has decided that she'll stay where she's at. It's attached to the nursing home that she was in. We chose it because she was there already and getting to know the people. She had collapsed and went into the nursing home that's there, and it was decided that she could not go home. So when her time at the nursing home was up, they had a room for her, and she just stayed there. The staff was wonderful. She thinks the food is a little carbohydrate-heavy, but besides that, she likes it. They have a lot of activities. They have a lot of entertainment. They have daily gatherings, either bingo or different crafts and stuff. Because it's a nursing home and assisted living, it's a big, sprawling place. She has a mile of hallways that she can walk every day. Her primary care physician is in the Prevea Clinic that is attached by a hallway, so she walks all over the place. If she ever needs to see the doctors, she just walks down the hallway. She doesn't have to go out because Wisconsin winters are pretty bad. "

"We found my mom a place, and we got her into St. Joseph Residence. They proved to be a much better fit for us. They pay more attention to details. There's better communication among the staff. The food is good. People were sitting around playing cards, putting puzzles together, or looking at the tropical birds. We've got a very positive experience so far."

"My mother has been moved into a nursing home at Evergreen. What I really liked about it is the staff. They have been just wonderful. I can't go in, and I can only see my mom through the window. She's in isolation right now, so I have not been in her room or anything. The outside is lovely; I just haven't been on the inside. Everything is covered in snow, though. She has only been there a week, but they have contacted me every day multiple times, the multiple people who work with her. Since I can't see her during COVID, they are in contact with me all the time and let me know what's going on, so I really appreciate that. They have just been great. She's in the isolation wing, as everyone who comes there has to be isolated for two weeks. I don't know anything about what they have there."

"My dad was at Bethel for hospice care. The staff were proactive, attentive, and caring. My dad's room was nice and was connected our own private family lounge area. We were given a cart with snacks and refreshments. As my dad was actively dying, we were allowed multiple visitors during the pandemic. My 13 year old was also able to be in the room. The wonderful people and the amenities made our sad situation as good as it possibly could have been. "

"My husband is receiving excellent care at Rennes Health & Rehab Center De Pere. They're friendly, efficient, and carry through when they say they're going to do something. He gets physical and occupational therapy (that includes building his upper back). He seems to enjoy the food, too. He is in a private room. It's very adequate for the needs of an individual and they have to slide him in and out of bed (which takes a couple of people). When they put him in a wheelchair, they got a whole bunch of people that they had to call in and put him in there. Then when he comes back, they have to lift him out, and put him back in bed."

"I went to Eden Rehab when I had my surgery. It’s a very nice place, and the food was good. Their staff was excellent. I had a good experience. "

"My father had gone through rehab at Woodside Lutheran Home. They were awesome. The staff was very caring and very good to him. They were very accommodating. They provided three meals a day, and they were good. He seemed to enjoy the food. It's a clean facility."

"Fantastic staff, clean environment, and the best therapy team. The food was also fantastic. It was like being at a restaurant for a lot of the meals. Lots of happy staff. I would recommend the West side ManorCare. They got me back on my feet and home which is where I belong! "

"Our mother was recently in the rehab wing of The Odd Fellows Home after leaving the hospital for pneumonia and a fractured shoulder. We can’t say enough about the positive experience she had there. Everyone was so friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable right down to the maintenance staff. When it was obvious that it was time to transition our 93 year old mother into a nursing home setting we didn’t hesitate to place her at The Odd Fellows Home. The guidance we got from everyone there was beneficial for a smooth transition. We look forward for our mother to continue to enjoy her time there."
