Welcome to DeForest Place — a senior living community nestled in quaint, downtown DeForest, Wisconsin. This community offers high-quality assisted living, memory care, and respite services to seniors with a compassionate and informed touch.
DeForest Place is surrounded by tall Oak trees that offer breathtaking views year-round and is just steps away from Yahara River and surrounding green space. Residents are also just a hop, skip, and a jump away from many of the DeForest amenities, such as local shops, restaurants, and easy highway access to the Madison, Wisconsin, metropolitan area.
At DeForest Place, skilled associates provide assistance with activities of daily living — always striving to meet the needs of residents without overstepping or compromising independence. For residents with Alzheimer’s or other dementias, thoughtful care is available regardless of what stage of their diagnosis residents find themselves in.
All meals are thoughtfully prepared with nutrition and taste in mind. These community-style meals are a great opportunity for residents to connect with one another, share stories, and reminisce. After mealtimes, residents can participate in the many on- and off-campus activities and events. This is the time to move your body, learn something new, stay connected to the community, and more....

Our family had an in person tour and we really enjoyed our experience, it is a nice community but the rooms were just to small.
Well, unfortunately our experience with this facility have not been good. The facility is old, and in desperate need of updates. Several chairs in their common area are broken, the carpet is worn and stained . They are under new management , staff that do not seem to care about the residents well-being, not following care plans, under staffed to met the needs of the residents. I would rate this facility a 2 star at best.

Most of the staff were great. Even tho it's a small home, the staff have a lot of duty, besides taking care of their residents, such as cleaning rooms, prepping meals & activities. There had been times that there were only 1 staff member on the night shift, which was concerning to some family members. I've also seen staff making food with bare hands with out washing, & after collecting dirty plates, handing out cookies. The kitchen needs to be cleaned from top to bottom. The shower room also needs help. Windows need to be replaced. Management, well..........

When I walked into the community everybody said Hi. They were very friendly and went through everything with me, cost and the like stuff. The one person that was in charge there was really into being a caretaker, almost like her second home. The rooms were very small. Not able to rate value, care services, or activities.

This place is really something else. The only thing that is nice is it feels like home instead of feeling like you are in a institutional place or hotel setting. I saw staff members do very unsanitary things here. Like pulling the kitchen garbage and then serving meals afterward without out hand washing or at least putting gloves on. Also something that raised my concern was the approach of a gentlemen employee. He was very loud and came off very rude and pushy. Cell phones were out most of that day seemed like every time i would pass there station or into the living room they had them out. I am not very impressed with this place. Hopefully some change will come to this but what i saw wasn't very appealing to me.
