Not as Good as it looks

A loved one lives at Elder Care. The place is clean and new. Less than 5 years old. The line staff is great however management is very poor. Such as not returning phone calls or emails. Each unit can house up to 15 adults. Caregivers are 2 two a shift on 1st and 2nd on third it goes two 1 per cottage. The common space does has only seating for 6-7. Meal are poor unless you like hot dogs and or grilled cheese for nights and weekend nights meals. Noon lunch is great however but cook only is there from what I can tell…

Wonderful care community

Wonderful assisted living facility. Caring staff, delicious home cooked meals and small comfortable cottages. There are twelve rooms in each cottage which means personal well managed care for the residents. They are treated with respect and caring. There is a central community room where all are encouraged to take part in activities and meals. Truly one of kind assisted living concept in quiet beautiful Waterford, WI

My sister and I looked at this place. It is very nice with a very homey atmosphere. Unfortunately it is not a locked facilty and there is no discount for 2 people. only one person to a room which does not help with both parents needing assistance.
