Rooms are nice with studio to 2 bedrooms and also 2 bedrooms plus bonus room. Bathrooms are nice size. Meals are always good with lots of variety to choose from for lunch and dinner. Many different activities for all interests along with their own van for outings and shopping transportation. Staff is kind and caring as a whole. My parents live here and I couldn't be happier with Appleton Retirement Community.

I am/was a resident of this facility

I am a resident of Appleton Retirement Community. They give you what you need. The apartments come in different sizes and try to accommodate what you need. The staff is very friendly and willing to help with whatever you ask. It's a nice living community where everything is provided - meals, entertainment, and even bands and performers from outside who come in to entertain. It's very nice. The food is nutritious and tastes good.

Appleton Retirement Community was recommended through a friend who had their mother staying there. We have chosen this community for my mom because they have the most activities compared to the other places. The staff are always there to help whenever my mom presses her button. They're very helpful. They have a couple movie nights a week. They have bus trips to local parks. They have community bands that come and play at the center. They have multiple different areas for cards, bingo, and virtual bowling. They…

My Aunt was a resident at Appleton Retirement Center, I and other nephews looked at many places, after speaking with Sara what Appleton Retirement had to offer and visiting the facilities, we decided to put our Aunt after her hospital stay in ARC. Our decision was based on meeting the care givers & touring the facility. The moving in was very easy, rooms were very clean, bright and very spacious. After dealing with management & staff during her stay, we have picked the right place. Amie ( Director of Operat…
