The journey of caregiving for my Aunt started over 4 years ago. It has been a very long difficult journey. It is hard to watch and frustrating to watch a loved one decline, as well as for them to live the decline. My Aunt found her final peace at Azura Memory Care in Sheboygan. It was not only her peace but mine as well. I no longer had to worry about her care as I could see that she was loved by her Azura family. She passed away on [date removed] and they knew how important that it was for me to be there, but I also found peace that if I was not there, she was with family that loved her. No words can express the appreciation for the care, compassion and love that they have for all their residents. God has opened many doors through my journey and the doors at Azura were truly a gift from God. This family made a difference in a long journey. I will always have them in my thoughts and prayers. They are where and doing what they are meant to do!

This community was home for my mother for almost 3 years. She had many friends here, residents and caregivers. Mom is gone now, and I feel a connection with Azura of Oconomowoc. I have made friendships and life long ties with the family of caregivers. This is home. A lovely home for your loved ones.

Every single member of this organization was very kind and helpful to my mother. I never had a worry about her care. When I visit I was always treated with the utmost courtesy.

When we were searching for a residential care facility for my father, our hope was that we could find a place where the team would care for him as if he were a family member. We weren't sure that was actually possible, but thankfully it's a reality at Azura Sheboygan. The team at Azura treats Dad with genuine care, respect, and kindness. They have taken the time to get to know him as a person, and they have also taken the time to learn the nuances of his situation so that he can have the care that is best for him. As a family member, it makes it much easier for me to rest comfortably, because I know that they are making sure that Dad gets what he needs, and that they will continue to do so even as his situation changes. They also maintain an excellent relationship with his medical team. Other facilities may have larger rooms, or higher ceilings, or larger video screens. Azura's facilities are clean and safe but more modestly appointed. They put the money and the effort into caring for the patients. From our perspective, that's a much better investment.

From the first day I walked into Manitowoc Azura Care it felt like a home and family and not an institution. That was two years ago and nothing has changed since, actually it more like home and the family feeling has increased. I love the small close knit community who cares for each other and staff that interacts all day long with residents not just caring, but sharing life, meals, snacks, conversation and fun. I have such peace of mind when I am not able to be with my loved one daily to know they are in a place that ministers to them body, soul and spirit. While there I continually see the interaction and true service given and received by smiles on faces that light up when the activity director comes in the door for some extra fun! Azura Memory Care of Manitowoc was recommended to me when the time came to find a new home after ninety plus years of living at home, and I'm glad I choose this place!

My mom has been at Azura since Jan 2018 and my family and I are so pleased with everyone's help. We never worry about her or her needs being met. Much care and attention is provided to her and all the other residents. We are definitely "stress-free". A big THANKS!

[Name removed] was the main deciding factor to my choosing Azura Memory Care in Oconomowoc. I visited 8 different facilities including one in Watertown where we live. Azura was my number 7 in my visits. I has called and talked to [name removed] on the phone and made an appointment to visit the facility. I arrived and she was expecting me and met me at the front door. We greeted each other and she told me she would show me the facility and answer any questions for me but first she asked me to come into her office and just have a time to get acquainted. We sat around the table in her office and she asked me to discuss and tell her what was going on in my life that I was looking for a place for my wife. We talked for the better part of an hour and it was very obvious that [name removed] was interested and concerned about the situation with my wife. She took notes and asked me questions as we went along. She was very encouraging and told me if I chose to place [name removed] at this facility she knew her health, my health and our marriage would improve. She told me that was probably hard for me to realize but assured me she would be well taken care of and my health would improve because I wouldn't be under the constant 24/7 care giving. Of course I was crying some as it was difficult to talk about without my emotions getting involved. We talked about the care I was currently giving to [name removed] and the fact that I was becoming very stressed with the routine. The was the first facility I had visited that I sensed a real interest and concern in my wife and my well being. [Name removed] then explained the care that would be given to [name removed] and answered my many questions. Then she said lets go tour the facility which we did. She took her time and explained things as we went. I was very impressed that she was greeting residents as we toured and calling them by name. They were responsive to her and she certainly was not a stranger to them. I was very impressed with the facility and especially the focus on memory care. Most of the other facilities I had visited were combination nursing home, skilled care, assisted living and a section of memory care. I met a number of the staff and they were all very pleasant and friendly. Aster we toured the facility [name removed] invited me back into the office and asked if I had any more questions. I thanked her for taking time to talk with me and answer many questions and show me the facility and explain the care program. I sensed a real concern for the well being of all the residents and genuine concern for them by all the staff. We talked a little more and I was having a hard time holding back the tears as I thanked [name removed] for her time. I told her at that time I was most impressed with her and the operation than any place I had visited yet. She gave me a packet of material and an application if I was interested. When I got up to leave she asked if it was alright to give me a hug which I told her would be welcomed. I toured one more facility after that but I was convinced that when i needed to place my wife this was by far my choice of all the places. [Name removed] told me to give her a call any time if I had any more questions or concerns she could help me with. She asked if she could call me in the future and keep in touch and I told her I would welcome that. I told her [name removed] and I were going to try another bus trip together and [name removed] said she would call me after the trip to see how it went. She was true to her word as she did call and follow up more than once. She assured me I would know when it was time to place my wife in a facility and she would be glad to help me with that decision. When I decided it was time to place [name removed], I filled out the application and called [name removed] to make an appointment to bring in the application and discuss it with her. We went over the application and she was very helpful with my questions and gave me help with some items I needed help with. She told me she did have an opening at that time and asked when I was wanting to make the transition. I told her I wanted to wait till February which was just over 2 weeks away. I told her this was my personal desire because February would be 11 years since she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and I finally decided I needed some help with her care. She said that would work and we listed all that needed to be completed and said if I had any questions to please call. We communicated more than once during that time and [date removed] we proceeded to get [name removed] all set up in her room. [Name removed] and her staff were there to greet us at the door and make my wide feel at home which I greatly appreciated as she has not been to Azura before that day. This was a very humbling experience for me and the most difficult decision I have had to make in my lifetime. My wide and I have been married 58+ years and it was not easy to place her away from home. [Name removed] was absolutely the deciding factor in my choosing Azura. She gave me complete confidence that even though this was a difficult decision on my part, it was in my and [name removed]'s best interests and assured me she would be well taken care of.

Awesome staff! Wonderful place, kind and loving staff members. Staff would always go beyond caring and give from their hearts. They gave us great comfort and peace of mind, knowing that our loved one was receiving excellent care that he so needed. We were very grateful to be able to be a part of the Azura family.

Well managed, relatively new memory care facility. Very clean and procedures in place so it appears to be operating efficiently. At the same time, great emphasis on personal attention and kind and gentle approach to patients. Patients are at various stages of illness, so this is challenging. The head RN is excellent and an important asset here. However, in addition, I think Azura should add more men to the staff.

I highly recommend Azura Oshkosh! From the moment I stepped foot in Azura Memory Care Oshkosh, I knew I had finally found the right place for my father who had late stage dementia. The entire staff was amazing right from the start. My father's stay was, I would say, the best it could possibly be, right up to his passing. The staff was caring, compassionate, and attentive to both my father, my mother and all his moved ones when they visited. It is a warm and inviting place set up just like a comfortable home with activities created to include each and every level of care needed. The food, the rooms, everything were fantastic!

This community has a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. It is very clear that the staff and leadership have a deep commitment to their residents and show genuine care and compassion every day.

Finding the perfect place for your loved one to walk through the stages and trials of dementia is an arduous task. Looking for caregivers in the home who display knowledge of the disease, unconditional compassion for their residents and fervent passion for the task before them is critical. Desiring a loving home where every resident and their family members feel welcome and are treated with respect and dignity is essential. Hoping for marvelous meals and music, daily devotion and exercise time wrapped in a blanket of safety and comfort is paramount. We were blessed to find all this and more for our mother at Azura.

My mom was at Azura Memory Care in Wausau, WI for 19 months. Our family was very pleased with the care she received. The staff was amazing to our mom and our family. They were very sensitive to her needs, provided a loving and caring home for her the final months of her life. The staff was very knowledgeable and professional. The Azura staff became apart of our family. We are so thankful that our mom was at Azura and the staff will always hold a special place in our hearts. ??????

[Name removed],, letting you know that when I brought [name removed] back today I saw her smile for the first time since going to the ER last Sunday and then the hospital and [removed]. It was so satisfying for me to see that!! [Name removed] has difficulty expressing her feelings via language, but I understand her feelings by her eyes. Azura is "home."

To our friends at Azura, Thank you so much for all of the wonderful care given to [name removed] and [name removed]. We appreciate each and every one of you! Your hard work does not go unnoticed, and we are very grateful for all of you! All the best to you in 2019! With gratitude, The family of [name removed] and [name removed]

We provide therapy services and home care services in Senior Living Communities. It is a pleasure providing services to some of the residents at this community. The staff are all very friendly and caring to the residents, fellow staff and visitors. It is a lovely community that goes above and beyond to take great care of their residents.

The community is so welcoming, it feels like home. The staff are friendly and so caring. I would recommend this community for my own mom or dad!

I have multiple sclerosis. It has progressed over the years. So, I've lived in 4 different facilities. Some are too expensive. Some are understaffed Some are too big. Some are poorly organized and badly run. Some have good chefs in kitchen. Some order only processed food. Some have young caregivers with dangerously limited experience. Some have highly skilled professionals. BROOKDALE of Appleton Senior Living is all of the best. Fun activities, residents council involved, hair care, bus trips, delicious nutritious food, organized management, skilled staff. I love it here!

Azura got it right! As a guest of Azura from Hometown Hospice and Home Care for the past two years, I'm proud to suggest this community to my friends for their loved one. They have the right approach when caring for our loved ones. This is not just a facility it's a family with a vision.

We are extremely pleased with all the care my mom receives from the staff. Everyone is caring, thoughtful and watchful. We have no stress whenever we think of her care and how lucky we are.
