Upon visiting other Assisted Livings, Stoney River steals your heart. From the staff, the residents, to the decor. Every other establishment I went to was bland, lacked color, and “home” feel. It felt like a hospital. Stoney River has been great and my father has grown personable with the other residents and employees. Grateful for Stoney and their efforts to make the transition from “home to new home”.

Last April my mom moved to Azura in Kenosha. I have been very happy with the care she receives there. I had worried about the "fit" for mom since memory issues were not our biggest concern at the beginning . But we both grew to love the residents and staff. The building is very nice and very clean. Mom's room is generously sized and fits a bed, lounge chair, dresser, wardrobe, and two night stands. The staff seems to genuinely care for all the residents and work hard to create a homey atmosphere. The food is also very good -- not like hospital food. Mom still wants to "go home", but she wanted that when we cared for her in the house she lived in for 60 years. I am comfortable with my selection of Azura for this final phase of her life.

Dad entered hospice care within a couple of weeks of going to Morning Star. He died two months later. But Morning Star was exactly the right place for him, and his last months were enjoyable with new friends and less loneliness. Dad didn't think the food was great. We supplemented a lot with food reserves in his room's refrigerator. My only slight complaint about care is that some of the aide's seemed oblivious to the state of his health. They kept trying to keep him walking and self-dressing when his strength was failing. They told him it was a matter of using it or losing it. He was there to die, for goodness' sake. And he knew it. He went from walking independently to using a walker to using a wheelchair in two months because his heart was failing. The good news is that the only day he spent in bed was the day he died. But we don't know how long he lay on the floor before he was found that morning. I'm not entirely sure the aides really understood the situation. Overall about as good of an experience that anyone could expect, given the circumstances of the situation. My criticisms were my only criticisms, the absolute only times we felt something was missing. It was a good experience for my dad, even though he understood that his time was short, that his life was ending. My dad told me several times that he wished he had gone into assistive care sooner, that he enjoyed making friends and having companions to spend his last days with.

We were very happy with a place for moms help and Dimensions really was a great fit and over all great experience! Mom has passed and was only there for 4 months. But would highly recommend. Everyone accepted mom , they were friendly and kind. They have different levels of care and even though mom wasn't paying for a certain one they still checked on her throughout day and would bring food to her room for her when she couldn't make it down. Which wasn't on her pay level.

Friendly staff, caring nurses, beautiful building. Too bad their care levels are limited. We had to move out.

They are overwhelmed not having a director at the moment. Staff are great with residents. The facility is wonderful. My mom was really going down hill with her Dementia and she is thriving! I could not be happier. I know they are struggling not having a director at the moment but I feel they really are trying their best.

I would tell them that I would recommend Azura for their loved ones. We are fairly new to Azura and are still working out my mom's schedule. So far so good.

Overall the facility has a very comfortable feeling, clean fresh facility, friendly caring staff. The residents living there also make a difference. They really do care about each other.

As healthcare provider we always want to make sure that patients/residents needs are met physically, emotionally and spiritually. I am so impressed with Legacy and all the new changes that have been made to the community. It has the most compassionate care team and leadership team. Its a clean and safe environment. I have enjoyed participating in all the fun activities and seeing this community grow.

Stoney River Assisted Living and Memory Support is a beautiful building. They recognized early on that hospice care would be beneficial and arranged for that. Based on the experience we have had, we would recommend this community to other families.

They were awesome. They have my highest rating. My Mom was very comfortable and interactive with staff and other residents. Liked to help with cleaning up. Liked to help with assisting with other residents.

My mother is a musician, in the early mid stages of dementia. Playing the piano is an essential part of her therapy to maintain the memory that she still has. It is so heartwarming to hear her tell us on the phone when different staff members have asked her to play the piano. "They tell me how uplifting it is to hear me play." We all want a place where our loved ones will be cared for. But Morning Star Village has been a place where mom feels loved. And that can make all the difference in the world. No, that does make all the difference in the world. Thank you, Morning Star Village.

I recommend Dimensions Living Appleton. My Mom is 91 and she has a hoarding problem. She'll take cloth napkins, extra food to her room that she never eats, silverware, etc. The Dimensions staff has been excellent in communicating with the family and very tolerant and forgiving of my Mom's cognitive decline and hoarding escalation. Staff works with us on practical ways to improve things with a very loving tolerance of my Mom's issues. If anyone out there is dealing with a hoarding elderly parent, I'm sure they can relate. My siblings and I all agree that Dimensions is a great place and my Mom absolutely loves it. She was always of the mindset that she would never want to live anywhere but home, and after a month at Dimensions she liked it so much she said she would never want to leave Dimensions and doesn't want to go back to her old lonely house.

The staff are truly family! The CNA's are wonderful. They treat mom as a grand mom or mom. They are very playful with my LO. I've seen them dance with her, fix her hair. Her room and restroom are always clean. I get frequent updates on her health and wellness. The move in went well and the food is excellent!

My main comment would be "you don't have to worry about your parent(s) when they are at Dimensions Living in Appleton. They are well taken care of. The staff is so very caring. The place has an amazing vibe of safety and of living. It feels like a place where they can LIVE, not just be. It's a beautiful community from staff to residents."

They needed a second television area for those who liked to watch tv shows. Watching the nature channel wasn't enough stimulation.

Staff have overall been good other than the common turnover I do feel overall they are working towards doing a good job. I have heard that the food is cold when served.

Overall I am happy with Dimensions Living! During my parents transition to assisted living the staff was very supportive. It is hard to comment on activities since my father isn't really capable of joining in and my mom has been resistant. My parents have complained about the quality of the food.

We chose Dimensions Living because of the Services offered as well as the location. The staff have all been extremely helpful.

I highly recommend Dimensions Living Appleton. They are so kind to their residents. It is a really nice, homey environment run by people who truly care about the people they are caring for.
