They did an outstanding job attending to her personal, mental and health needs. She always was treated with dignity and respect. We too felt part of the Fox Point Manor family.

Communication Issues

Sometimes the communication is not that great. I'm still trying to get my dad his depends that they said they would get through medicare/the VA. My dad has internet that he doesn't need but that's a comcast problem I guess. I found that it's a lot of follow up, talking to people in the office and the staff and over here and over there to try to get everything together. That's been a problem.

Since the recent change in the administration and some new employees there has been improvement. I think it is very clean and my brother likes the food. One possible complaint is that there is not a lot of activities. I know that is limited because of the condition of the residents.

Family experience.

It's pretty inside, The single rooms feel spacious, the food selection seems good. IMPROVEMET NEEDED: Weekend activities are needed. the weekends look pretty boring around there. More variety in activities such as easy cooking classes. Even if it's as simple as frosting cupcakes or decorating cookies. Volunteer opportunities for people in lower levels of assisted living. It gets boring sitting there all day with no sense of purpose. Work harder to get residence involved to meet people and make friendships. Not everyone is good at that.

Happy with care

The staff is pretty good, Dad has had a few comments about good and interesting staff. Food has been pretty good overall. Lots of pasta, which makes Dad have a stomach ache but he mentioned it and they seemed to start having more potatoes instead. ???? I don't think Dad is participating in many activities yet. But he hasn't complained so I don't mind. It's still pretty new to him. He mentions meeting lots of interesting people so I think that is good for him. The apartment is lovely! I couldn't ask for anything better. We love it!

I think Courtyard is a clean facility. Food quality, variety and quantity seem to be very good. The staff seems to be good. The activities are many and they seem to make a good effort to get the residents to participate. My biggest concern is the amount of turnover in all staff. There has been an exceptional amount of change in staff in the last year.

Feels like home!

The facility is beautiful and clean. They have their own cook who used to own a restaurant. He is fabulous and will customize as needed. There seemed to be a couple differences between what was promised by intro-staff vs by delivery of floor staff, but it could have been a simple issue of communication. Beautiful, spacious rooms. Very clean. Very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend.

Review for Bellevue Senior Living

It is my opinion that most of the assisted independent living places in Wisconsin with a few exceptions of lousy food, but the rest of the accommodations are OK. I would recommend it, if people had a full kitchen in their apartment and we're able to do some cooking to supplement the food that was very good at the lunchroom.
