Island Shores overlooks the river in a very nice setting. The apartments were very nice and large. The people were very nice. The food looked nice, and they offered a menu with multiple things. They had a salon on-site, a library, and different activity rooms.

Island Shores was a nice place and it was clean, but the location for me was too far away and it was kind of pricey. The staff was knowledgeable, but we didn't spend that much time with them. They didn't show us a room. The dining room was very nice. It's right on the river, so it's very nice and it has a nice view. As far as the food goes, I didn't have an opportunity to eat there. They just showed us where the dining room was and then we saw another area of the building and talked about the care and things like that.

Island Shores had a lot of natural light and a variety of different styles, sizes, and layouts of apartments. The residents seem to be happy, and the staff is polite. They had a library, den area, and exercise room. The activities were posted.

I absolutely loved Island Shores. It was very clean and well organized. I think it had a lot of potential for individuals moving from out of their home more towards the independent-living, but it was more like an apartment-based style. It didn’t fit my father because my father needed memory care, and they don’t have memory care. The staff was very professional and very nice. They let me know exactly what they were and were not able to provide, so I think it would have been really nice for him, and he would have fit in well with that community. They just weren’t able to give him the care. They were very intelligent and knew exactly what was needed and required for my father. There was something going on in the recreation area when I was there. The dining area was absolutely beautiful, and I like the fact that there were multiple food options for my father.

Island Shores was a very nice place; the dining area and the room seemed adequate. We interacted with a couple of the staff, and they were all very helpful. It’s on the expensive side.

From the quick tour that we had at Island Shores, I was not impressed at all. It did not seem as caring and felt like the residents were more secluded. I felt that they need to be more personable. What really struck me was that if I put my mom in there and she cannot get to their dining room for her food, she would have to pay someone to bring food to her room.

The staff at Island Shores was fairly easy to work with and showed us everything we needed to know. The people were friendly. I liked the entire facility. The rooms were spacious and very nice looking. The dining room was really nice, too. They take the residents on bus trips to go shopping and stuff like that. It was a very nice facility.

Island Shores was fine. We visited one room that had a bed and a little bath with any other facility in there. The general atmosphere was nice, the area around it was nice, and the staff was very helpful.

Island Shores was too big a place. They would get lost in there. The staff were very knowledgeable, very nice, and considerate, and they sound like they care for their people. If they are able to get around decently, they'll be fine. It's a beautiful place.

I visited Island Shores over Neenah. I thought it was a high-end facility, and I expected that to be nicer because I know people there. It looks so nice on the outside, but I wasn't very impressed with inside. They were helpful, but we didn't really sit down and go through a lot. I wasn't really impressed with them. I thought they would be nicer than they were. I thought they would have a better deal because they were on the water. I wasn't too impressed. I thought the rooms didn't have a lot of windows in them. I think Island Shore had a nice lobby and entrance area. The dining area and the lounge room are nice. The rooms seemed rather old and not very modernized. But the rooms there are bigger, and that's the part I like the most.

Provider Response

Island Shores was wonderful. Everyone was very kind. The marketing director was very nice and very thorough, but the facility was too expensive. However, it was a gorgeous place. Some of my husband's aunts and uncles lived there. The place was clean, beautiful, and well taken care of. The staff was all wonderful.

I found very little wrong with Island Shores. It was tastefully decorated and clean. The Staff was attentive and professional. Upon entering the patient's room, I noticed how comfortable the room looked. Again, the room was clean and finely decorated. The care provided during my visit was exceptional. I know that my patient is getting extremely good care while residing there.

Independent Living Reviews for Island Shores

I visited this facility

I visited both independent and assisted living facilities at Island Shores. The accommodations were great, and the people were very nice. But it's a large complex, and we are looking for something smaller. Cleanliness and upkeep were excellent. Everything's limited because of the Covid, but they had a library, and a dining room. It felt homey; it was a really nice place.

Island Shores was very nice but very expensive. They showed me nice one-bedroom and two-bedroom units. They provided two meals a day and had a library and activities for the residents. The staff member who took me around on a tour was very nice. The menu and the food looked very good, and the cleanliness looked fine.

Food is consistently good., with a wide variety of choices. Staff if very friendly and easy to get along with. YMCA is just across the street. Downtown Neenah is not a long walk away. Rooms in the addition wing are especially well appointed.

My mom has found a place, and she has moved in to Island Shores. The staff is warm and helpful. They give as much help as needed and don't push extra help. The apartment is gorgeous. It is beautiful, modern, light-filled, and large. It is just beautiful and laid out well. The dining area is lovely, and they try to accommodate different health issues with the food choices. They have a sign in and sign out, but people have the freedom to come and go as they please. They have card games and art. They have music and TV. They also have cocktail parties which I don't know how well those are attended. But also, whatever you would like to have, they are willing to start for you. The beauty of the apartment stood out to me. Also it is warm enough. That is a problem for some elderly people, and Island Shores is warm and nice for my mom.
