Appleton Retirement Community review

Mom has been very very happy there their closest thing to being and feeling independent but having constant care and not having to worry about taking her meds. Overall very very impressed with everything there and I think Mom will be happy for the rest of her time. ARC is great. The facility is well staffed and kind. The room feels like a regular apartment and comfortable. There's an underground garage for those who can still drive and in the basement there 's storage for things like seasonal decorations that you can have for a small fee. They have a movie theater downstairs. The dining area is set up more like a little restaurant. They have activities all the time. You can sign up for trips. They take shopping and restaurant trips on a regular basis. You can set up an account so that if you want a driver to take you somewhere you just have to let them know and it can be all paid for right out of your account. Also, they have paired up with a clinic and now have a registered nurse and doc who can come in and see the patients in their room for like annual checkups blood draws things of that nature so they don't have to go out to a clinic for small things. I would definitely recommend this establishment to anyone who is looking for themselves or a loved one.

ARC is the place to be

The staff is caring and on top of situations. I have been pleased with there response to Covid-19. It is clean. The food is good. They have a lot of activities to keep the residents busy. They have entertainment and music that comes in weekly. The only downside is that there is always a turn over in staff. It is hard to always have someone new.

Cheers for Appleton Retirement Community

I 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.

Mom's Happy Home

I like the care here for my mom. The staff are always nice and very caring to her needs. I like knowing that my mom is in a clean community that she enjoys. The menu of the meals have been very good and she is happy with the variety. I like knowing that she is active with the other residents in the activities that are offered. I would greatly recommend this community for great care and value.

The staff where very friendly to my loved one and I during our tour of this community. They had a clean facility that was nicely maintained for all of the residents as well as lots of great amenities available. It was just not the right fit for my father in the end decision, but I have no complaints about the experience.

Comfort For Mom!

The Appleton Retirement community was good to my mother while she resided there. The place met her needs and was always clean. The only reason she is no longer there was because she needed a higher level of care, but overall the community was good.

I am very happy with it.

I 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.

Staff is cream of the crop

This 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.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Wisconsin regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Wisconsin regulations for Assisted Living.
