Milestone Senior Living Tomahawk
5.0

Milestone is a wonderful place to go. They're so helpful and accommodating. The facility is very nice. And my loved one enjoys the food overall, although three meals a day is a bit too much for her.

Our House Senior Living Assisted Care - Wausau

I will never be able to convey my gratitude for [name removed], [name removed] and the entire Our House Team. The care they have shown for my loved one is unbeatable.

Tender Reflections of Weston
4.7

The facility and staff at Tender Reflections are wonderful! The facility is located in a beautiful setting with big windows that provide a nice view of central Wisconsin nature. The common areas are open, with clear walking paths, interactive screens and nice seating available. There are rooms available for larger family visits and several options for smaller visits too. The facility is secure for the residents and staff, yet accessible for guests. The staff is very caring, compassionate and responsive. They take really good care of the loved ones entrusted to their care, treating them with the utmost dignity and respect. They meet the residents where they're at and help them through their personal struggles as their medical health progresses. Individual care plans are in place and closely monitored. The family is cared for as well. The staff answers questions and supports them through the journey and loved one's illness. We are blessed to have our loved one in their care. I highly recommend Tender Reflections. It's a really nice memory care facility and the staff are wonderful!
