Prairie Ridge Assisted Living

My father has moved into Prairie Ridge Assisted Living - Waupun. The rooms are a very nice size. They have a lot of open spaces where you can go do activities. It's just a nice and friendly atmosphere when you walk in. I think they are very on top of things. I had to take my dad to the doctor for something. When I came back, I said, "I'm not sure he's going to do this. Would you please make sure you keep an eye on him?" They wrote it down on the chart, and they've been very good about it. They follow through. The staff is very friendly. When you walk through the door, they'll ask if they can help you. They always greet you and say, "Hi, how are you doing?" They're very, very nice. I have not had any issues so far. My dad was there also about six years ago after he had some surgery, and he couldn't be on his own. He got better and left. I couldn't tell the difference inside and outside of the building. It's very well kept. The shrubbery outside is all trimmed nice, and the lawn was cut every week. The carpets looked like they were vacuumed quite frequently. They clean his apartment, and they do a very nice job. It looks nice there. They always have puzzles out. They have a TV in the main area that people can go to, and once a month people can sign up, like last month they went to Walmart and Hobby Lobby, and then they went out to eat. I think that's nice that they're able to get out and have a nice day. They always have something every day and it's always written on the whiteboard what they're going to be doing. They go down into the rooms and tell the people who don't come, "Hey, this is going to start. You want me to take you down there?" They are encouraging them. My dad doesn't need a lot of care right now and I know the more care, the higher the price is, but it's still pretty pricy. I would have no problem recommending them.
