Community Reviews
Staff is cream of the crop
reviewed on: 12/23/2013 by Allen LThis place must pay their employees well because of all the places suggested by our advisor, this place clearly had the most professional staff...and they all treated dad as if he was there parent. Dad always felt like he was there most important resident. Cleanest and best maintained facility we visited. This place had the warmest atmosphere and on a very cold October day, I couldn't believe the warm inviting feeling I got as I drove onto the property. Inside that warmness is felt throughout the building. You will be treated like family themoment you enter. Of all the assisted living facilities in the Fox Valley, this one will impress you. You will find it very comforting to leave mom and/or dad in their care. They know how to do this right. Some might think their loved one might get lost in the shuffle because of the size of the facility, but let me say that your mom and dad will get just the right amount of attention that they need and they will almost always feel like they are the most important person in the place.
I am very happy with it.
reviewed on: 06/17/2015 by AnonymousI am very happy with it. I spent the better part of about five months, looking at places and making a decision. I visited them four or five times during the course of that time. It was definitely the place I felt the most comfortable with. They were very helpful, and very friendly. They responded very quickly if I had questions, they called and emailed me. The move went very smoothly, and I think she is liking it there. She wants to be involved in the community and the activities. Generally the food is pretty good, there have been a couple of times where she has told me that it wasn't the greatest but it was okay. She always tells me she is eating too much. The menu sounds wonderful, and the day we ate there together it was good. They seem to be very accommodating.
A great community!

reviewed on: 04/02/2019 by AnonymousI love the Appleton Retirement Community! First of all, the appearance and furnishings are beautiful and welcoming. Secondly, the staff are so knowledgeable and helpful. I think all of them knew my name even before I arrived. I like the comfortable seating and plenty of large clocks all through the facility. The meals are delicious , and acti vities--oh my! I am on Independent Living status now, but I can change to Assisted Living if and when I need it.
