Oak Park Place Menasha
5.0

Oak Park Place Menasha has been a great place for my mom. Mom is in the Memory Care area and they really do a nice job. I’d like to specifically call out the Activities staff, they really keep everyone involved, mom really enjoys it there. The facility is very nice, I would highly recommend it to anyone who is in need.

The Residence at Oshkosh
3.8

It's a very typical Assisted living place. Nice size apartments, expensive rent with cheap food served cafeteria style. Standing in line waiting for food, like school kids. The ones that are not mobile wait even longer. I would recommend but with reservations.

Aspire Senior Living - Kimberly
4.1

Aspire is a well run facility. Their staff are invested in providing quality care. They're friendly and helpful. We appreciate that they have varied increments of support. The initial independent living costs include 0 to 7 hours of caregiving support at no additional cost. That's the level of care my parents required initially. Now, after residing there for about a year, each is now at the 7 to 14 hours per week. The extra charges for that are reasonable. My parents can remain in their accommodation and each receive up to 28 hours per week of personal care assistance. The three of us adult children think this is wonderful.
