Nursing Home Communities in Milwaukee, WI

"My grandmother was a resident of St. Ann's. This Catholic nursing home is also the home of many retired nuns who live in a different part of the facility. I have seen a few different nursing homes due to my aging grandparents, but this nursing home was one of the better ones. There were ample activities such as crafts, music, games, and even field trips for the residents. From what I saw, they were treated with respect and kindness. The most negative thing I witnessed had to do with lack of staffing. When my grandmother would ring for help, it would take quite awhile for anyone to come and I would have to go and find someone to help my grandmother to the bathroom, etc. The facility itself was very clean and the people were always friendly. They would come and take my grandma to the facility's chapel every week. They would make sure she was eating and try to get her to socialize. Even when she became very sick and she only had days to live, they called a resident nun to come sit with her and pray for her. It was comforting. "

"The staff is incredibly friendly and knows what they are doing. My grandmother raves about the care she receives. They have plenty of activities and social events for the residents. I'm sure this helps them feel like they are part of a community within St. Camillus, and they also get to interact with the surrounding community quite a bit. The facilities are incredibly clean and have recently been renovated to look extremely modern and comfortable. My only complaint is that they often seem to be short staffed. The employees do a good job, but it seems like they would be stressed considering all that they must do. Still, I haven't seen any residents be neglected due to the limited staff. "

"We were very comfortable with Luther Manor Courtyards. My mother is a Lutheran, but they are non-denominational as far as their residents are concerned. The size of the room was quite small. Also, it's very large, and my mother tends to get disoriented. We were concerned that if she came out of the room on her own and got confused, it might deter her from going out of her room on her own again. However, they do supply mentor residents to help new residents that move in. The staff was wonderful. I walked in -- I didn't even have an appointment; I just went there because I couldn't get anybody to return my calls. They bent over backwards to provide me with information, got somebody to come out and talk with me, and took us on a tour. They were wonderful. They were in the process of finishing up the remodeling of their dining area, and it looked like they were going to be lovely. It opened out to an open courtyard, and it looked like it's going to be wonderful. "

"I visited the Milwaukee Catholic Home at 2330 N Prospect Avenue on Milwaukee's East side this past winter to get a feel for the home. My parents will soon need a place that can provide the care necessary to extend their long and healthy lives. I was immediately greeted upon entering the Milwaukee Catholic Home which added to the safe and secure feeling of the facility. The Milwaukee Catholic home was elegantly appointed and had a fresh aroma unlike other facilities in the area. The Milwaukee Catholic home also provides daily activities for their residents to engage in to develop and maintain friendships, stay active and healthy, to learn and to grow and most importantly to boost morale and energy levels. The Milwaukee Catholic home also works with local University students to bring services into the facility to further benefit the residents. I would recommend the Milwaukee Catholic Home to anyone seeking a safe and dependable living facility. "

"My aunt has been to 3 other places I can honestly say that Allis is the best so far. The therapy department is AMAZING. She is here for a stroke and has come such a long way in a very short time. Granted the building needs a little upgrade. After seeing the ratings, I was a bit skeptical but my parents asked me to tour anyways because not many other places accept her insurance and they refused for her to return to the other 3 places she was at. So I came to tour and found parking to be a little challenging but was welcomed warmly. Then as I waited for the admission person to come give me the tour, there were a few men in the lobby discussing the Packers and I asked them how they liked it here. They had nothing but nice things to say. One did point out the food was not the greatest. When my aunt arrived, her room had welcome balloons outside her door and she had a nice gift basket on her bedside table filled with all sorts of things she can use during her stay. It was a nice pick me up. None of the other places did anything like that for her. My parents live in FL so I come here daily to check on my aunt. The staff are always willing to talk my parents when they call and and the staff answer all of our questions. I even am able to talk to her doctor who follows her here Her aid lets me know if she participated in activities or if she is a little under the weather. When she does not go to any activities they have someone who comes into the room to talk to her or do something with her at her beside. I understand not everyone has a good experience and people seem quick to write something bad but I wanted to wait until I was able to have enough time spent in the building to make my own assessment and I am very pleased. I guess you get out of it what you put in."

"My mother has been staying at Glendale Care and Rehab Center. Her care was very caring and impeccable. The facilities are clean. They always smell fresh. The people in here are caring. My mom's room is good. The trash is always empty. The CNAs are very attentive. They do listen. They play bingo and puzzles. They have a church service."

"My experience with Colonial Manor was a poor one. My mother was a resident there for about 5 months or so. The receptionist was rarely able to answer any questions when she was there to answer the phones. Calls to the nurses stations frequently went unanswered and when they did answer, they were usually reluctant to give information. My mother would be left in bed for hours at a time and her calls for assistance were ignored at times. There was one particularly disturbing incident in which my sister went to pick my mother up after my mom had returned to the facility from an appointment and my mom's wheelchair was missing. When my sister inquired about it, the staff claimed to have no knowledge of its whereabouts. As my sister was leaving, she noticed a patient in the lobby sitting in my mother's chair. One of the care providers had entered my mom's room while she was gone and took her chair and gave it to another patient. The caretakers were often rude and would say things like "I'm not going to keep coming in here to help you!" "

"The Terrace at St Francis is part of a medical system in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I had toured it at one time. It a well kept building with studio and one bedroom apartment. The staff includes nurses and aides. A Chaplin is also available for Sunday mass for the residents. The resident enjoys their meals in a central dining room located of each of the 3 floors. When I toured was between meals, but there was a pot of coffee brewing and the residents were free to enjoy it when every it like. It also had a small general store for small items like tooth paste, denture cream and shaving cream. Each apartment had a kitchenette where the resident if able could prepare a bowl of cereal or pot of coffee. The staff provided all the medications and assisted with dressing and bathing the residents as needed. The residents that I encountered on the tour seems happy and content. I would say The Terrace seemed to be a pleasant comfortable place to live if you need assistance in your later years. "

"My sisters and I chose this facility because it was clean and close to all of our homes. We had also never heard anything negative about it. I visited my father 2-3 times a week-unannounced. We had purchased him some clothes, but most of them were stolen by the staff-even though we put his name on them with black markers. Even his new underwear were stolen. There were activities for the residents and the food looked reasonably healthy. The staff seemed friendly, but it seems they had a high turnover rate with the certified nursing assistants. I sometimes visited on 1st or 2nd shift and rarely saw the same CNA's. When my father became more ill, he went into the hospital. We went to his nursing home room to get his clothes because we were told by his doctor that he was too ill to be returning to the nursing home. When we arrived, they had already had his clothes packed and someone else was in his bed when we went to his room. I was disgusted by this because it showed me how important money was to this facility and that they had no consideration for his family. "

"Long-term care portion was great. CNA's and nurses were very caring, dietary staff were accommodating to needs. My mom needed therapy for a short time and she loved all the therapists. "

"A friend of mine will be moving to Village at Manor Park. The size of the place was large enough for her. She got a one bedroom and she like that. It's an older place and I think it could use some updating, but it's very clean. They were already re-doing the apartment. They were repainting it and she was getting I believe new carpeting. "

"Congregational Home was very light, bright and big in terms of the overall layout. The rooms were on the smaller size. The person that assisted us was very professional and knowledgeable. They offered activities like arts, music, and shuttle services. The dining area was very nice, open, and pretty. "

"I went to Clement Manor, but sounds like they don’t have a continuing care. You just take care of that yourself. It was very nice, and it’s a big place. I just saw a couple of places, rooms, and apartments, and they just looked really big. One thing I didn’t like is that they didn’t allow pets. The one thing that turned me off is the way she said, you can stay in your apartment if you are incapacitated, but then you have to make arrangements if you want assisted living. "
