Recent reviews of Independent Living in Dane, WI
Brookdale Middleton Century Avenue
5.0

Thrilled with the care and attention my Mother received while at this Brookdale. It felt like I was pet of a family! The food is wonderful and I enjoyed that when visiting. They also have fun activities for residents and their family members. Thanks for all you did and I would highly suggest anyone to move their loved one into their community.

Oakwood Village Prairie Ridge Independent Living Apartments a CCRC in Madison, WI
4.0

The week day staff is compassionate and well trained and employed by Oakwood. The weekend staff is hired from an agency and the care and compassion is lacking. They are working on fixing this but claim there are not enough people interested in this type of work.

Coventry Village in Madison, WI
4.4

We chose Coventry Village because of their availability and responsiveness. Staff met with us almost immediately when we contacted them. The people are really nice, but the overall place seems to be under-resourced.
