Nursing Home Communities in Janesville, WI

"I stayed at this facility for a couple weeks after surgery. The atmosphere is very home-like and the food is good. I enjoyed all of the daily options and portion sizes. Therapy got me stronger very quickly and I was able to go home and stay out of the hospital. The staff were kind and a lot of them spoke Spanish and English, which was very nice for me. I had a very nice roommate who was easy to get along with. The facility offered a television with Spanish channels which was nice as well. I would stay here again if I needed rehab."

"I couldn't believe how bright the facility was. The staff was very cheerful and so welcoming. Everyone had a smile on their face and greeted my husband and I while we toured the building with a smile, hello or a hi how are you. It wasn't like your normal nursing home. I didn't smell and urine and the building smelt great. I don't think I have ever seen a nursing facility so clean and odor free. If anyone in our family ever needs skilled nursing care this will definitely be the facility we take our loved one too. We have visited several facilities in the area and this is by far the best we've been too. "

"Evansville Manor is a beautiful, clean, welcoming place. They had a really nice arts and crafts room where they can do crocheting and painting, and a game room for bingo nights. Everything looked and smelled good. The staff wasn't stuck up and speak to you and ask if they can help."

"I am very impressed with Fairhaven. They seemed to offer everything anybody could want. The place was very clean and well maintained. The people were extremely nice, and the food was very good. They are in the process of renovating, which is very good. They had a myriad of activities. They are right next door to the University in Wisconsin Whitewater and there’s a lot of things going on there for residents. There were regular bingo games and trips. "

"My mother is in Vintage on the Ponds nursing home. The staff is very friendly, professional, and competent. The facility is older, but it's nice and the food is good."

"My mother is at Skaalen Retirement Services Inc. It's been very good. All of the caregivers are wonderful. The staff has been really helpful and concerned that she has the best experience possible. The room setup is nice, clean, and well-maintained. They have a covered area with benches outside that's quite large and nice. The landscaping is very pretty. There are lots of different flowers to look at and it's shaded. It's like a pavilion that has a top. They have activities out there a lot. My mom likes to be outside. They have a smaller covered area as well with a sofa and chairs. My mom's there for rehab, and we've loved the care. The staff has all been very nice to her. She's in a newer area, and it's very nice. I was in there every day for five weeks with her, and they were always very, very caring. They know me by name. I did not meet anybody who was not kind to my mom. My mom said the food was much better than hospital food. I have nothing bad to say about them. They have food available for the residents as far as beverages. There's always coffee available even for family. There are little soda cans and juice that are available. They've been very gracious. My brother lives nearby and they brought him a tray when he's come to sit and eat with her. They've made us feel really at home. They know what my mom likes, like the dietary aide knows that. She knows she likes fresh fruit, so she'll make sure she gets that. They send aides around before every meal and ask them what they would like for that meal down to what they want to drink. They get a meal plan once a week, but their order is taken before every meal. They have a regular entree. If you don't like that, there's an alternative, like a soup and sandwich or something that you could eat if you didn't like what was being served. They do special things. They try to have something in the morning and the afternoon each day for the residents of the whole place and they do their best to include them there and encourage them to take part in it. Because of the pandemic, they aren't offering as many activities as they used to. They have a crafts room, but they haven't made that available since the pandemic, and that would be nice for my mom. We're very comfortable having our mom there. We're very confident that she is getting very good care that's individualized to her needs. They've been very receptive to the concerns that we've had and things that we wanted to be included in her care. They've been very helpful."

"Both my mom and dad were there for a very short few months and the caregivers were great with them. They didn't mind being there at all. It wasn't home, but they both knew they couldn't be anywhere else before there passing. They remembered me coming every day to see them and knew I knew the drill of what to do. They would chat and be very respectable to everyone that they had seen. Just giving the workers a big thumbs up because without them the people living there wouldn't have the care that they need. I know my mom played bingo, the room was nice and big for the both of them. They had a tv in their room and could bring in some furniture if they needed to. "

"The staff seemed to be very helpful and also very caring and kind. They paid a lot of attention to my cared one, always making sure that she was as comfortable as they could possibly make her. They were very outgoing and knew how to interact with her even though she is very difficult to understand due to multiple strokes and other health concerns.The facility seemed to be a bit older, but it was evident that the staff kept it clean and the age of the building did not seem to be a problem. I appreciated a patio area with tables and chairs that allowed my family to spend time with my aunt out of doors, since I believe that this is part of what helps keep someone who is in such a home happy.There is also a nice indoor visiting area where residents who have mobility and are able to can watch TV and perform other activities/socialize together.Overall, I was very satisfied with the quality of care and the condition of the facilities.

"My brother is currently in rehab at Alden Estates of Jefferson. The physical therapy seems great. My brother gets along with them very well. They've been doing great. He's been improving in some things as much as he can. Some of the staff are great, but he had problems with another one. They look like hospital rooms, at least where he was. At least in rehab, they furnish the bed and things, but the doorways were wide. I like that they didn't have narrow hallways like assisted living does. The hallways are wide. Their food, the way my brother talks, and some of the things I saw were pretty good, but he says so-so. They have activities, and it looks like they do a good job there. They did pretty good and answered my questions. I worked with the social worker mostly. In one place they have a little bird for people to notice when they walk by, and they have fish in another place. Only thing is, they lost my brother's clothes; one nurse tried very hard, she found some. I bought them a brand-new pair of just casual slacks, and they can't seem to find them. So, he only got to wear them twice, and never saw them again. So, I'm very disappointed in losing clothes, but I guess that that happens easily."

"My father is at Holton Manor. They seem to be very good. They offer a wide variety of services including memory care, rehabilitation and physical therapy. They seem modern and clean, and the staff seems very helpful. He needs special food because he has difficulty swallowing and eating, and they were able to meet all his needs. They do all the appropriate things with his food and process it the way it needs to be with thickeners and so on. They have a rehab, gym for physical therapy, small warm water pool, a cat, and they bring therapy dogs. There is also an enclosed outdoor courtyard. "

"My mother has been living in the Memory Care Wing of this facility for the past 6 months. This is a county-owned skilled nursing facility that is always clean whenever I visit my mother - two to three times weekly. Mom has moderate Alzheimer's and seems to be happy in her own room here. All the rooms are private rooms with their own toilet and sink, unlike almost all other SNF's in the area. This has been a real blessing for me as I don't think Mom could bear a "shared room." She is usually pleasant and easy to be around ~ but she definitely likes her own space! The staff is both friendly and efficient and I feel my mother receives excellent care here. I highly recommend this facility if you are searching for the best SNF in the area! "

"The rooms at Golden Years Assisted Living Residence are nice. The food is good. The dining room is set up buffet style. They have a choir, and they have different activities every day of the week. They do trips, and go places. My aunt is in a studio room which is very clean with a table, a TV, and a dresser. The atmosphere of the facility is nice. The residents seemed to be happy. "

"My brother was in River Bluff Nursing Home. The staff was outstanding, very caring, professional, and responsive. Great communication. I felt that they cared about my brother, and I felt very confident in their care, especially as he entered the last three days of his life, they were just phenomenal in the support that they gave us. The food was about what you'd expect from a nursing home with Medicaid beds. I don't think it was bad, but it isn't 5-star food. It was spacious and very clean. It's an older building, but they've done a lot to keep it looking professional and clean. The size of the rooms and layout were good, and they made sure he had a private room during his last three days before his death, so I thought it was reasonable."

"Wesley Willows is very nice. They have a very nice balcony. If you want to go out and have your own little garden to raise a few vegetables, they have that facility for you. They have an excellent place where you can walk around the area. It is very large and new. It is very good. I think they have a washer and dryer in some of the apartments. The rooms were very nice and very spacious, and I was ready to move in. I really liked it. They have a lot of activities. They take you shopping once a week, and the churches were within walking distance or there would be buses taking you. The people I met were affluent but not snooty. "
