Wellhaven Senior Apartments in River Falls, WI
5.0

My mother stayed at Wellhaven her last two years. It's a warm, caring environment where the staff puts residents first, providing support without being intrusive or pushy. They try to help seniors maintain as much independence as possible. The atmosphere among the residents is quite social. Mom arrived there from out-of-state, without knowing anyone but us in the area, but quickly made several good friends among the other residents and staff. When it grew apparent that the end was coming, they worked miracles to keep her in her apartment with her beloved cat. I can't recommend Wellhaven highly enough.

When we came in, we were impressed by the appearance. It was welcoming and very appealing. The staff was very welcome benefit. They were at first, and still are very approachable and friendly. Our needs are met and, as I like to tell others, we are spoiled Rotten- What a blessing.
