Community Reviews
They cared about our needs
reviewed on: 07/12/2013 by SteveWe were in a bind and had to choose a community right away and out of the communities that we talked to Emeritus just seemed to actually care about our mothers needs. The other communities seemed like it was all business and really felt kind of rushed. Emeritus had immediate availability and the staff seemed to know what was going on.
Nobody's perfect, but they're pretty darn good
reviewed on: 05/06/2021 by MollyIt's really handy to be independent here. They have the facility set up where you can just be in your own room but then leave essentially for meals and little outings. But then also, it's good to have that transition available if things do decline over time. And it definitely doesn't feel like a nursing home. It feels like a normal apartment building. I see quite a few other residents that are quite able bodied. One of the residents is really lovely - she made my loved one a wreath as soon as he moved in. The other residents are nice as well, and will say hi as you pass by. The staff have been very friendly. I know they're struggling with staffing right now, which I don't blame them for, but it would be nice to have more help for my loved one. We've run into some communication issues, probably also due to staffing. But we're also worry warts. We'll call ahead of time if we know he has an appointment or something coming up, and make sure everything is in place. He loves the food, but he isn't happy with the portion sizes. But if he could he could snack all the time all day, he would. From the meals I've seen, they give fruit, salad, potatoes, a little bit of everything that includes the whole food pyramid, which is nice. I really enjoy seeing him getting out a lot, doing bingo and stretches, and that's so important to me. They offer plenty of other activities too, including a guy's coffee group, and a prayer/rosary/religious group, which is nice.
So Far, So Good

Mixed experiences
reviewed on: 12/02/2020 by AnonymousWe chose Brookdale Appleton because my dads high school sweetheart lived here, so he wanted to move there. The room sizes were adequate for their needs. The best part about the community was that my dad felt safe while he was here. Overall, I would highly recommend this facility.
The address any problems promptly and pleasantly
reviewed on: 08/22/2013 by LeeAnnIt's not perfect but it is wonderful. Everyone's very friendly here, things get handled in a timely manner, little problems happen but people here really take care of it, but they take care of everyone here, not just my mom. Everyone is really friendly, she's getting along with other residents pretty well and they try to help her meet people she'll get along with. They have a lot of activities and they try to focus on activities that the residents will like; my mom is a writer and they're starting a writing group. They come and check on the residents, like one time when she didn't come down for bingo and they came to see why she wasn't there. My opinion is its a great value, for the money that we're paying every month we couldn't get this back home. We've always worked through problems and everyone's been pleasant about it. Eva here is fantastic, everyone is, but she was the one I phoned first and she said I could use her as a sounding board and is still there to answer any questions I have.
