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."

"After spine surgery I went to Hillside Manor to recuperate. The aids, nurses and other staff there were just wonderful. I especially liked my physical therapists. We had a lot of fun together! The building and the grounds were just so very nice. Outside was a gazebo and paths to walk along and look at the flowers and plants. Inside they have aviaries. It's so calming to sit and watch the birds. AND, they have lap-top computers that are internet accessible. The place was always clean and the staff so friendly. I nearly cried when it came time for me to come home! And the food? Well, it really wasn't bad at all. And if you didn't want to eat what was posted on the menu for that day you could go down to the cafeteria and get what you wanted and the put the cost on your bill. It's part of the Beaver Dam Community Hospital so a person has a lot of walkiing they can do if they'd like. If ever I have to have that type of caree again it will be there. And, I've told friends and family about how nice it is too. "

"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."

"Mayville Nursing and Rehabilitation Center has a very good therapy department for clinical rehab. Their nursing aides and CNAs are outstanding, and most of the people are real nice there. I'd recommend this for anybody. I stayed there for 3 months maybe. The rooms are fine. The laundry comes around every day, and you get your clothes back the next day. It's clean. If I have to be in a nursing and rehab situation, that would be my first choice. "

"The facility is beautiful. Staff are friendly. They do an excellent job keeping residents safe during this pandemic. My sister was a resident for rehab. She was in quarantine for 2 weeks. During that time, nursing and social worker updated me regularly. My sister received excellent therapy, better outcome for her than we even expected. Staff work very hard to take care of their patients. The food was good. My family is very grateful for everything the Pavilion did to help my sister recover and be able to go home. They even set up home services to help and support her. She is doing great thanks to the Pavilion team."

"I have found Fairhaven Senior Services and I have signed up. It has been very good. I will be moving in in December because they’re building a duplex for me. They had the stand alone duplexes, and I like that. The people there are very good. I was very satisfied. I like the nursing staff, and I like the atmosphere. It’s the highest in my estimation. I’ve seriously looked at four others, and this is the one I chose. I would say it’s very good. Probably the biggest reason I preferred Fairhaven was because of the possibility to live in a villa and not have to move into an apartment. I’m just not an apartment type of person, so it’s a personal preference. Fairhaven was a little bit better kept up than either of the other two places. It is better for the continuing care part. That was very important to me. "

"I visited this wonderful place six years ago as a part of the 'Adopt A Grandparent' program that was done with Sacred Hearts School. I had the honor of coming out once a week with the school and was blown away by the level of care provided and all the luxuries that were afforded for the residents. The staff was very friendly and you could tell just by walking around for a few moments that their primary focus was the residents. Everywhere I looked there were smiles and that's something that's stuck with me all these years. The facilities were very well kept and every time I came the place was spotless. I was also very impressed that activities and social functions were held on a regular basis. Everyone always seemed to be having such a wonderful time with a smile on their face and I really couldn't ask for more. Absolutely wonderful! "

"In general, I'm very impressed with the Lindengrove Health Care Center. My Grandmother is very happy to live there, and is much better off than when she was living in a senior apartment. Her health and cognitive ability have increased because she is receiving nutritious meals on a regular basis. When living by herself, this was not the case. Also, when she has fallen, she has received care immediately, unlike when on her own. She has some good friends in the facility, and her social life is healthy again. The workers have treated her very well, and I've always been pleased with the cleanliness of the facility and quality of the food and programs. The only negative I can think of comes under the heading of billing and finances. My mother manages my grandmothers finances for her, and she's had a few instances where Lindengrove has incorrectly billed my grandmother for medications or care. These incorrect billings would have cost here thousands of dollars if my mother had not caught them. "

"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."

"We currently have my mom at Kensington Care and Rehab Center. They are friendly, caring, and very, very helpful. Her room is nice and fairly large. She stays in it all the time so she wouldn't have any idea of how the living atmosphere is, but for me being out of the room, it feels like a family thing. The facility is pretty, it's well-maintained, and they've got nice decorations. They decorate for the holidays and they always have postings on what activities are coming up or the little special things that they're doing. It's a nursing home but we're paying less there than we were at the assisted living and it's much better care."

"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. "

"Crossroads of Sun Prairie is an excellent community. They're a little understaffed, but the care is good and the food is good. They have activities available for the residents. They have a library and some other amenities. I have a 1-bedroom which isn't really spacious, it has a bed, a dresser, and there's two people in it. They take very good care of the facilities by keeping the floors and areas clean and the fire exits open."
