Nursing Home Communities in Racine, WI

"Brookside Nursing Home: My grandmother was admitted to Brookside Nursing home in Kenosha after suffering a severe stroke. She has been in this facility since 2009. They have been very good to work with and deal with in this situation. All of the staff has been very welcoming and nice to my family as well as my grandmother. The surroundings of Brookside are nice, with lots of tree's and flowers. There are a few different wings of the facility, each specializing in different disabilities. The rooms are nice and a decent size for a nursing home facility. The meals are varied and are of decent quality. They have a lot of good group activities for the residents to participate in. There is always a group of people watching tv or partaking in a group activity. Brookside also has various outside activities for the residents to participate in. There are frequent trips to the casino as well as other outings. "

"Lovely place. Since the new management took over things have gotten a lot better. The therapy is amazing. food is decent. The place looks very nice as well and they gave me a private room in the short term wing. "

"Clairidge House is an older nursing home and my father-in-law is there. The rehab is really good and that's what he needs right now so he's going to be in there for about five or six weeks. The rooms are not very big. "

"I have been to Willowcrest several times to visit a family friend. She has always appeared to be well cared for and in good spirits. Her room and the common areas that I have seen have always been very clean and in good repair. The staff members that I have interacted with seem very friendly and helpful.The residents seem to get along well and really enjoy each others company. I often see people there playing games together and enjoying themselves. Although I have not eaten there myself, I have been told that the food is quite good and that the residents have several meal choices to choose from. They also will sometimes offer outings and day trips available to the residents whose health will allow them to take part in such things. Overall Willowcrest appears to be a rather nice facility. If and or when the time comes, it would be a place I would feel comfortable placing a family member. "

"My husband has pretty good care at Franciscan Villa. The staff seems to be very caring. The atmosphere is good and the facility is clean and well-kept. They also have an activity room there. They have activities for their residents. Everyday they're doing something. They have entertainment almost everyday, like somebody would come in and play a song or a guitar or whatever. I would recommend this facility to others. "

"My brother is currently at The Bay at Sheridan Health and Rehabilitation Center. They seem to be doing OK taking care of him, but it seems pretty crowded there. I've seen the food that they serve, and it looks fine to me. We bring him pizza and sandwiches now and then because some days he doesn't like the food and some days he does. The staff has been polite. They do call if there's a problem. I think they're doing their job. There was one nurse who I liked, but she quit. They're very busy. They don't seem to have enough staff. Sometimes the phone doesn't get answered."

"The staff seemed very caring. There are daily activities for the residents and I like that it is a privately run facility."

"The building got a face lift!!! It’s being updated and remolded. They do Omelette day for residents, Bingo, celebration and education for other cultures. They have bilingual staff members. Staff is very friendly and go out their way for their residents and family!"

"My family member has lived in this facility for a couple years. All of the staff is kind and they work hard to make the people who live there comfortable and happy. "

"I'm currently living in St. Joseph Villa inside St. Joseph's Homes and Rehabilitation Center. I chose them because of the price. They provide options for the food: you can cook for yourself or you can have your food brought directly from the nursing home to your apartment, either way it's good. But I cook for myself, I like it that way. The nursing home is gigantic. The people are very, very nice and there are a lot of activities. "

"My father was at Cameo Care Center after a recent hospitalization. The facility was in good repair, no odors of urine that I have experienced in other facilities. The residents appear to happy and are engaged in activities whenever I visit. If I have a concern or complaint, there are staff members available to assist. If they cannot help me, they get back to me in a reasonable amount of time. I have a large family and each member can have different expectations. The facility tries to accomodate each one of us to the best of their ability, even when we are being difficult to deal with. They try very hard to make sure that dad is comfortable, safe and adjusting. He is picky with his food preferences, and changes his mind frequently and the kitchen staff does whatever they can. Our family has had an overall good experience at Cameo. "

"My mom moved into Maple Ridge Health and Rehabilitation Center. As far as I can see, I'm pleased with her care. She needs help cleaning herself up, and she's very satisfied with the help. She's enjoying their food. She said everybody is nice to her. She has no complaints. My mom has a private room. She shares the bathroom with the other room. It's kept clean. It's not the newest facility, but everything seems in order. They have a common dining area. My mom's getting their meals in her room. There is an area that they can go out to in the summer, like a courtyard. But there's not a lot of land with the property. They have an activity sheet every day. They have movies and bingo."

"After falling and breaking a bone in her leg, my mom stayed at Golden Living Centers. The staff here were wonderful. They provide a free meal for the family and the meal was served at their "bistro". We had a choice of two entrees and were served like we were in a restaurant. My mom was kept very busy with activites like bingo and movies. All the other patients were friendly, happy and outgoing and my mom made many friends, some cried when my mom left. The staff took the time to treat the patients as people, listend to their wants and needs, doing what they could to fulfill the needs. My mom talks about this being the only place she would go back to for rehab. When leaving the nurses that were discharging her welcomed her to come and visit whenever she wanted. Her stay at Golden Living Centers was a wonderful experience. "

"My brother-in-law was a resident of Heritage Square Health Care Center. That's a good one because he was very hard to please and hard to get along with. They did good, but he wasn't always happy, but that was partly due to the problems he was having. He liked it better there than in the hospital. He could be great one day, and then a little challenging the next. But under the circumstances, I'm sure they understood them. It's clean and nice. The people were very friendly and accommodating. He liked the food."
