Nursing Home Communities in Waukesha, WI

"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. "

"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 husband fell and fractured his hip. He spent one month in the skilled nursing facility at the Congregational Home. He entered totally dependent on others for his care and left almost totally independent.He received exceptional care. Any time an issue arose I was contacted immediately. If I had a question I received a timely response from the case worker, the nurse, the social worker, or PT therapists. We were told the food was delicious and it proved to be true. I would recommend the Congregational Home to anyone seeking a temporary rehab location."

"I’ve lived here for 4 years and I love it! You don’t have to buy in and the value for what we receive is fantastic. Everything (water,electric, Wi-Fi, garbage collection, maintenance, activities, etc) is included in our rent which wasn’t the case with my mortgage...to say nothing about lawn mowing, snow removal, landscaping, and all the other headaches of home maintenance. And then I was living alone! Here I have made so many new friends, and have all kinds of fun activities which I don’t have to plan or arrange or drive to! The building and our apartments are airy and sunny and they don’t smell like a nursing home or hospital! We can do as much or as little as we feel like! It’s like living in a fancy resort! I would never go back to living in a condo or house! Come visit us and see for yourself why this is my dream home. I can’t even list all the amenities because this review would be a thesis. I’m a retired school teacher and never dreamed I’d find something this nice for my sunset years!!!!! "

"The staff is very caring. They are certain to keep residents active and entertained. They care not only for residents, but the supporting family as well. The facility is very clean and the food is very good. "

"We have gone to LindenGrove and the facility was very nice. It was very clean. The staff was very kind. They let us walk through the facility by ourselves. They had a lot of areas for the people to go outside, and lots of areas to socialize. We only looked at the one-bedroom, but they also had two-bedroom units. They looked very nice. People seemed very nice and they were very active. I would recommend them because they were clean and they had good staff. "

"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 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. "

"My mother was in rehab at Tudor Oaks Senior Living. She loved it. She said the food was really good, and that's one of the important things to my mother. They brought her snacks, and the therapy was there every day working with her. I was there when they did an evaluation, when they thought she could go home, and they were very thorough with that. They did very well there."

"I am quite impressed with this place I live out of state and have peace of mind knowing my mother loves living here. My siblings live within the area. When I visit, I am impressed with cleanliness and friendliness of staff. There IS air conditioning, a huge library, game area, movies, small grocery store, bistro, resale boutique, church services, washers/dryers on each floor (2 sets at each end). The outdoor area is beautiful and peaceful. My mother's 2 bedroom apt has large bedrooms, plus dining/living area and small kitchen. I have eaten in the dining room and food was good, BLTs are excellent. My family has no complaints. Mom lives in OAK section."

"Hales Corners Care Center was really nice, the people were really friendly, and very clean. The rooms were overall nice and decorated very nice. It's probably ten to 15 minutes away from the hospitals. I like the care there, and everybody's really nice. It had a nice layout. It's got good ratings because I looked at all the ratings of these places, too. They had their own rehab area instead of doing it in the rooms or having people come in. They had their own physical therapist there. The facility was a little outdated and old though."

"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."

"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 sister-in-law was in Linden Grove and it was a very friendly and nice place. It was well run and they cared for their patients. "
