Mom and I toured Sylvan Crossings at Hunter Ridge. It was fine. We got the information we needed, but Mom did not like it as much as she liked the other facility we visited. We were there on a Saturday.

I am a friend or relative of resident
My husband and I recently had the difficult task of finding an assisted living center for his younger brother. We chose Sylvan Crossings in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. they offer security and caring comfort for all the residents and their visitors. This is primarily due to the exceptional abilities of the director and her very capable staff.
Just knowing our loved one was given the daily assistance he needed and was encouraged to participate in social activities was a tremendous comfort. We visited almost daily and always found him clean, dressed and looking forward to his next yummy meal. The welcoming smiles and hugs when needed made Sylvan crossing feel like home.

The lovely exterior looked like other resorts in the area, with beautifully landscaped grounds and tree-lined walkways.The staff was kind and caring to all of the residents that we saw -- of varying capabilities.
The communal rooms included a lovely library and the ability for seniors to participate in a number of stimulating activities.
The exercise center includes daily yoga and aerobics classes. The equipment is available throughout the day and they receive assistance whenever necessary. The residents may also safely navigate the lovely grounds for exercise.

The dining room was quite nice, with plenty of space.
The living spaces were generous, with plenty of space to house seniors' cherished possessions.The many planned activities feature everything from exercise classes to book readings and arts and crafts.
