Caraton Commons Green Bay

My mother moved into a place called Caraton Commons Green Bay. She's there for assisted living. I went and looked at it and liked the people and the facility. The staff is also great. The place is under remodeling, so it's going to be even nicer than it is now. It's a lot better than the other facilities my mother was in, and the quality of care that she's getting right now is good. When she needed help, the staff would go and help her. Her care is so much better here. My mother was a cook and she has not complained once about the food. She's even gained a few pounds since she's been there. They're in the process of remodeling, so from time to time it's noisy, but for the most part, you can't tell that they are under construction unless you see the construction trucks there. The place is kept spotless. There's no construction dust or anything lying around. It's clean, and the floors are spotless all the time. The activities lady is a wonderful person. She'll just drop in and talk to my mother. My mother is almost blind, so as far as getting involved in activities, she can't, because she can't see the playing cards. However, they'll go and get her so she can sit there and listen to them play cards and get involved in the conversation. They're strictly taking a certain amount that is provided by her insurance, and they're not asking for anything other than if she needs something, which they tell us to get. That's about it. It's a small community with a total of maybe 26 residents, but the care is better than being in a huge one.

My grandpa was a resident as Kindred Hearts assisted living in Green Bay, Wisconsin. When we first brought my grandpa to the assisted living residence he was immediately greeted by his specific nurse that would be taking care of him. She was very personable and down to earth. She brought us to his room and allowed my grandpa to hang some family pictures and other odds and ends to make him feel at home. This was the beginning of a very pleasurable experience my grandpa had with the residence. The nurse was very friendly and learned all of our family's names by heart. Also, the residence had a common room where the guests could play games and talk. This was very important to my grandpa and really aided him in feeling more comfortable at the residence. Additionally, they had walking paths around the facility where guests could get outside and enjoy the day. This was great, because my grandpa loved to be outside. All in all, the residence was maintained and managed very well. I would strongly recommend this assisted living home.
