Nursing Home Communities in Middleton, WI

"St Mary's Care Center has a lot of activities. They help seniors write letters to their family. They have a writing club. They have a whole area where you can do puzzles. They have birds. They have a beautiful fish aquarium. They have a hair salon that anyone can use. They have absolutely wonderful activities. They have a chapel. They play bingo, and what they do is really cute because they win quarters. Once a week at the end of the week, or once a month, they have a store where they can buy things like lotions or knickknacks or whatever, which are worth a lot more than a quarter. They price them within their range. They have foot care that comes. I'm just very impressed. The staff were very caring, very friendly, and very helpful. They seem to really care about the patients. The food was very good. I think the physical appearance was wonderful. They have floral arrangements. They have a huge parking lot. They have a gazebo, and they have areas on different floors, too, and you can go outside with the patients. Inside they have lounge areas for family and patients. It is really nice. They're close to the kitchen where you can help yourself to something to eat or drink coffee. Each wing has a porch that you get out in the fresh air."

"The advantage of Badger Prairie Health Care Center is that it is a nursing home with an Alzheimer's ward. They take Medicaid and memory care centers do not. Although they’re extremely expensive, if your loved one was on Medicaid, it would be a very nice place for them. Everyone is very nice and well paid because they’re government employees, so they’re much better trained to deal with people with Alzheimer's and dementia. The dining area was nice. They have private rooms with a bed and cable TV and their own bathroom attached. It's probably one of the best places. "

"My grandmother was admitted to this facility following a fall at her home which left her needing rehabilitation. From the moment my grandma got there, we felt at ease. The staff at Four Winds were there for us through the entire process--from admission to discharge. I can't say enough about the therapy team. Heather and Jim you guys rock!!! They even have a therapy dog! My grandma didn't feel like she was getting therapy because the Four Winds team made it really fun for her. They were also able to see her after she discharged from the facility in her own home. While we didn't need permanent placement with Four Winds, they do offer a lot of services. We toured the assisted living because if my grandma were to need placement in the future we would definitely chose one of their units. They have assisted living AND memory care to pick from and all of the units are private and recently remodeled. It didn't feel like you were at a facility, it was very homelike. The activities are also wonderful, not only did they have Bingo but they brought in food from a local restaurant for restaurant week, had music groups, cooking clubs and book clubs. My grandma was always doing something when she wasn't in therapy. She misses everyone so much. THANK YOU FOUR WINDS! I would highly recommend this facility to anyone!"

"My wife was there for several months. I visited her several hours a day when she was there. She received very good care. The nursing staff knows their job and does it well. The therapists are first class. The food is good enough that the staff often buys meals. The wait after the call light is turned on is short. In fact, shorter than for her than at UW Hospital. The staff is friendly, knows the patients, and cares about them. I would choose Belmont if I needed a nursing home. "

"When I went to Karmenta Center, I saw that there were people from all ages and ethnicities and they were happy there. I felt that the ambiance and the younger people there were much suited for my daughter. I have been calling them and trying to get my daughter there, but they don't have any openings yet. "

"The Arbors at Oak Park Place is a very nice facility. They have a lot of activities, and the people in charge are very responsive to everybody's needs. They have a variety of rooms, and my mother is in a two-bedroom apartment. She can go down for Continental breakfast, lunch is on their own, and supper is provided in the dining room. They have a schedule of events. They're having a dog show this week, they have a lot of singers and choirs come in, and they have movie nights, crafts, and a puzzle room. The staff is very nice, and the sales and marketing director is extremely nice. She was always checking in on Mom before we were able to move in because she was on a waiting list. The property manager is very nice, helpful, and responsive. The food I had was very good."

"I've been to Ingleside Communities at dinner times and lunch times to visit my dad and they had very unappetizing food. He wouldn't even eat it. He enjoys the breakfasts though and they're taking good care of him. The facility has somewhat outdated decor. It feels more like a small hospital and dad's room has a window that overlooks the back of the parking lot and nobody should have to look at that kind of view. They have what they call a chatterbox room where there's a big TV and feel of a break room. They have three little birds in a cage that their residents can go and watch and they have a nice and very welcoming front room. My dad is there under Medicare. The staff has been fairly well. There's one gal that seems to take interest in my dad and is trying hard. I appreciate that, but she's not there every day. My son and I were there the other night and an elderly lady was calling out for someone to take her to the bathroom (my son thought of wheeling her to the bathroom). The nurse said that she'll get to it and that she should not worry, but that's frustrating to see. They are just understaffed. One day, my dad needed help with something and I wanted to put rubber gloves on my hands. There were two empty boxes on the wall with no rubber gloves in them and there were no liners in the garbage can. It's like somebody came in and cleaned everything out, but didn't replace it. I also feel like their magazines were all outdated and they're just all shoved in. There needs to be some sort of tidiness to it."

"Mom has been in Heartland Country Village for about a year and a half now. They always seemed to have a nice dessert for lunch and they've been very accommodating with her. Sometimes she doesn't want to have whatever they are having for lunch and so the staff would serve something else for her rather than her not finishing the meal or anything of it. They have a very nice yard that faces the front of the building., but the facility itself is starting to show some wear and tear. Like they need to have their carpet cleaned and replaced. They have staff turnover. Some of the people that were there for mom, in the beginning, have now moved on. It's kind of heartbreaking. They are understaffed and they have a lot of contract people that come, which seems to be the norm for nursing homes, but the staff generally cares about their residents. They have a great activities director. She's always encouraging my mom to join in. I've gone and participated with mom in their exercise class in the morning and I played bingo with them. This summer, they had a beach party where they played beach music and had a variety of tropical fruit. They do fun things there and it's nice to see. I wish they could provide activities on the weekend though."

"We were very happy with the attention given given to my 92 year old husband. The rooms are adequate with private baths. The staff was incredibly cheerful and helpful. They seem to have a very high number of staff per patient. The nursing care for bandaging an amputation was well done, promptly, and according to Doctors instruction. The community between patients and Staff at meals and during the many varied activities was especially cheerful. The Physical Therapy was cheerfully done every day. If needed rehab we would return. "

"This is my 3rd nursing home this year. They all suffer from understaffing, altho Crossroads seems to have the most staff. I like my room. It is not huge (approximately 15x10). I share a toilet with the person next to me but there is a bathroom right across the hall. There is a sink in each room to help with the twice a week showering. There are things to do here with a small group of active residents. The staff is really nice as are the therapists. The bad issue is the food. It is terrible (0 star). Low quality of food that is cooked poorly. The biggest complaint is that the food is overcooked on the outside and still undercooked on the inside. To order, they send around a form the day before, and you pick what you want. Far too often, this form is ignored. Luckily, across the hall is a fridge we can use and a microwave so I have a few days food stored and that's what I eat."

"Willows Nursing & Rehab Center was fine. I didn't see any problem. They took care of my mother all right. I had no negative comments against them. The staff was very good. The food was all right. The room was always kept clean, and my mother was always kept clean. They had activities that people could do every day like playing games and watching movies, even little field trips at some place. However, my mother could not have any of that because she could not get out of bed. "

"Good Samaritan was very nice, clean, and easy to find. The staff members were very nice and polite. I know people that have stayed there that had very good care. "

"As far as I can tell, the care that Sun Prairie Retirement Center provides to my husband has been very good, I would say excellent. I've never been in the place because of the virus. In some manner, they've accommodated outside visits by having a plexi glass with a table and being 6 feet apart. They've tried to accommodated visitations now that it's colder, though right now they're not doing the visiting. As far as I can tell it's been very good. I get reports like if he sees a doctor, he's had a fall and they called, and they've called with questions. I can talk to him virtually and they do updates if he gets his flu shot. I'm his medical attorney and they need to contact me if he gets a shot, and they do. He likes the food although I haven't seen it. He said he's comfortable. Their facility on the outside looks very nice, and they have it decorated for the season. The facility itself is fairly old but it certainly in good repair so it's fine."
