The Best Nursing Home Communities in Waukesha County, WI

"We visited several facilities all around this area. We were so impressed with the Congregational Home because it was so friendly. During our visit everyone greeted us - residents, custodial, nursing, and other support staff. Everybody and everything seemed clean and well cared for. There were activities offered all day long, including an additional program especially for socialization and memory. We also liked that there is a chaplain there. Very impressive! "

"Dickson Hollow is a nice place. It's a beautiful building and all, but I just didn't feel like that was me. All I had experience with was just the person who let us around, and she was good, but it just wasn't my kind of thing. I'm sure it is for some others. We only saw one apartment, and it was huge. We also saw the exercise room and walked by the library."

"My mom stayed with Linden Grove for three weeks following her knee surgery. The staff was helpful, attentive, caring and did what they could to make her stay enjoyable. Linden Grove provided activities daily for the all the residents and patients, my mom really enjoyed playing bingo and made friends with other residents. Every evening Linden Grove provided a nice snack and even had cocktails once a week. My mom attended physical therapy daily and they showed my mom correct ways to place weight on her new knee, how to get in and out of vehicles and how to function in her home. Linden Grove made sure that I, as her only daughter, was involved in her care in Linden Grove and out. All of our concerns were heard and addressed to our satisfaction. The staff spent time with my mom talking to her and getting to know her, this made my mom feel more welcome and that she was more of a guest than a patient. Overall my mom's experience was a good one at Linden Grove and when she needed to stay somewhere for aftercare again, Linden Grove was on the top of her list. "

"Linden Grove Menomonee Falls was pretty nice but was also pretty expensive. They didn't offer a lot of services. They had nice apartments. You would pay more money if you wanted an apartment overlooking the lake, which is really just a little pond. The rooms were nice, clean, and well-kept. The size was fine. You could get a one-bedroom, two-bedroom, or studio apartment. The apartments ranged in size from maybe 500 to 1100 square feet. You had to cook your own food there. They had very few amenities beyond the apartment. "

"I picked LindenGrove Menomonee Falls because it was recommended. Also, it's in Menominee Falls, so it was close by. My sister could come and visit me and take care of things for me. It's a very clean facility. The staff is outstanding. I can't say enough about them. They treat us very, very nicely. I think it deserves a 5-star rating. It's an awesome facility. I would recommend it to anyone. They are an outstanding staff. They really care about you here. Their food is obviously made in large quantities, but it's good. There's nothing bad about it. It's very clean, and the staff is always right here. The maintenance crew is good. It's a nice place to rehab, and their therapy department is outstanding. They have bingo once a week, and they give out prizes and stuff when you get a bingo. That's always fun to get out of the room, where it would last for about an hour or so. Today they had Shetland ponies come, so it's pretty cool. They also do a Vegas day, and that's like once a month. They play poker with cards, and we play as a group. They also have live music come, too. They try to get the residents all involved. It's worth the money for the care you get here."

"St. Camillus was very expensive but it was great. They had very nice rooms and amenities. The people were very happy there. If you could afford it, it was very nice. "

"My mom was here for a few months, and I have nothing but positive things to say! Every time I visited mom was clean, dressed, hair styled and supervised with either an activity or in view of staff. They have activities and technicians that got her back on her feet and stronger: walking, exercise a pureed diet and attention. The staff: friendly, interactive and knowledgeable. The facility smelled clean, the dining facility was clean floors were clean bedrooms clean and beds made. "

"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."

"I know several people who lived in Luther Manor, and they’re all very happy with the care that they received. The apartments are all roomy, and comfortable. The staff was very helpful, and the dining area was pretty open."

"Lutheran Home was more of a hospital type of place. They were very busy, but they took the time to show me around, and they showed me everything. So that experience was very good, and I think they do very well with the people. They had different sized rooms in which some may have the bathroom in-between one room and another while others were private. They had some activities, and I thought you get good care there. "

"My great-aunt was at this facility. The staff was very caring and on top of all her needs as well as supporting the rest of the family. This is an older, smaller facility but the care out weighs the the looks. During the covid pandemic, the staff was very caring and did everything possible to keep us informed and involve with my aunt. The administrator even bought cell phones and an ipad so we could see our aunt virtually and talk to her during quarantine. The residents loved to play bingo, listen to the music entertainment and the christmas party was amazing, with the help of the community. The therapy dept was great. The beautiful patio over looks the lake. & if we weren't there to take my aunt outside, the staff did. I would highly recommend."

"my mom stays here. She has been here for 8 years. She loves the activities that they do. They make crafts, play bingo, cards, have wheelchair games, have different functions for different holidays and other things. Sometimes, like any other place, my mom doesn't always like what they are serving for dinner, but she has options when that happens. The staff always greet you with a smile. My mom's room is personalized with some of her things from home, so she feels at home there. We can come and take her out to eat, go shopping or take her to a family gathering and then bring her back with no hassles. She has made friends there and has lost some friends there. My mom now calls this place home."

"VMP Healthcare & Community Living seemed very clean, but it's more institutional. There's a main desk and then it's all corridors going off from there. The lobby area was not as welcoming. I saw the calendars of activities and they were on par with everybody else. They have music, arts and crafts and bingo. The rooms were smaller, more like a dormitory. There's a little more wear and tear on the building. The building itself was a little older or looked a little older. They don't have central air, and that was an issue. The staff was very kind, welcoming and knowledgeable. They can improve on building maintenance. The windows looked pretty old and they have in-window air-conditioners with pieces of wood holding them in place. It looked kind of sloppy."

"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. "
