Recent reviews of Independent Living in Waukesha County, WI
Oak Park Place - Oak Creek
4.5

My experience with Oak Park Place has been terrific, from my first tour, through the prep & support for move-in, and to now - the current care and programs for my Mom. She loves the quiet of her apartment, the activities, she says the food is good, and the staff really are there for her when she needs help. The nurse is very helpful when we have questions about medicines, and the facility is clean and modern, with lots of room to roam. Their front desk staff is so friendly and helpful, too. I recommend that you take a look, as they also seem to have great pricing, compared to several others I looked at in the area.

LakeHouse Menomonee in Menomonee Falls, WI
4.8

The staff members are all definitely friendly, and we do think they offer good activities. We think it is nicely ran, everyone there is very nice. We would recommend this community to a family or friend.

Heritage at Deer Creek in New Berlin, WI
5.0

This is a nice place in a nice area. I would highly recommend Heritage at Deer Creek to others for their loved ones. The staff have always been able to get answers to me about my questions or concerns. Concerts, group meetings, games, and more are some of the activities available for the residents to choose from. The community will deliver my loved one's meals to them, if they don't want to eat in the dining room. The community is able to have physical therapy come assist my loved one. Heritage is able to provide housekeeping, laundry service, and the room for the monthly fee. There is a separate fee for internet and cable.
