Nursing Home Communities in Watertown, WI

"My dad moved into Beaver Dam Health Care Center. They feed him well, but they don't take care of him very well at all. They don't do anything. They get him up, put him in a chair, and leave him. They don't do any therapy or anything like that like they're supposed to be, and that's just awful. The only good thing I think is that they feed him well. Some of the staff are good and some of them are bad. I haven't tried the food there, but they do feed them well, a healthy, well-balanced diet. They don't do any activities. My dad has no towels in his room. We had to bring our own and they're supposed to supply all this stuff and they let him sleep in a chair instead of getting him in bed. They don't clean all that much. I don't think we're getting value for our money. Medicaid covers most of that. But we pay so much."

"My husband is in rehab at Beaver Dam Community Hospitals Hillside Manor nursing facility. He's been there a long time, and it's very good. He's been getting great care. Overall, the staff is great, and his room is large and adequate. For activities, they have music that my husband goes to, and they play balloon volleyball, too. When the insurance paid for it, it was great, but we're paying out of pocket now, and it's very expensive."

"I chose Columbus Nur Rehab Center and I'm being moved there. My husband was there after his surgery, and I just feel comfortable there. Our experience was fine, they helped him a lot, and if we pushed the button they came. The food was alright; I'm a fussy eater so I wouldn't have eaten some of the stuff, but he liked the food. He was in a room by himself and there was a shared bathroom. The bathroom had a door from his room and the other door. If the other person didn't lock that door, you'd see someone sitting in the toilet. They have facilities for therapy where they do different things like weight-lifting, walk around, and up the steps. They have an area outside where you can sit on a canopy if you want to, or are out in the sun. They have a community area. The staff members were good, they were nice friendly people. The layout is good; there are a lot of windows."

"I went to Crossroads Care Center, and I thought it looked really nice. It looked updated with big rooms and big bathrooms. The staff was really nice and tried to help us the best they could. The dining area was very nice, they got it all, and they were playing card games when we were there. They had a guest room where you could have your visitors, there was a TV and stuff, and they had outside patios."

"Clean, friendly, compassionate. My mother received excellent care."

"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. "

"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."

"My grandmother is at LindenGrove Communities in Waukesha for rehab. She's got a nice room. It's small but she's got her own bathroom. It's all wheelchair-accessible, which is wonderful. The staff that I've met have all been very friendly and very kind. The facility is clean. Her bed hadn't been made, but it looked like the bathroom had been cleaned at least and then the trash had been taken out. It seems pretty nice."

"The staff in ManorCare Health Services (Heartland Health) in Pewaukee are all very professional and good, they work hard, and they do their best. They have shared rooms with two beds per room. Everyone was really nice except for one staff member that I met. The food is like hospital food, breakfast is the same every morning, but lunch is different because my husband has to have low-sodium diet."

"I had a knee replacement and couldn't return to my home due to stairs, and other Healthcare issues. When I arrived I was greeted with open arms. I couldn't walk, or do any of my ADL's. This place helped me, help myself. I love the way all staff work together as a team to provide excellent care for me. I hate that I have to leave, but I'm having another knee replacement and I know exactly where I'm going. Love the Staff here. Thank you All for the above & beyond treatment. "

"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. "

"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."
