Compass Senior Living

This review is for the cottages (independent living) they get all 5 stars! The club house for the cottages has a great chef (unfortunately retiring in 2024), several activities offered and [name removed] the activity director is well loved. They have happy hour once a week in the clubhouse and go to local restaurants, parks, rose/rhododendron gardens, etc. The cottage sizes are excellent! They have a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom with a one car garage. They also have a full kitchen but it is smaller.

We were originally looking for Memory Care, but based on the staff recommendations, we ended up choosing Assisted Living, because Memory Care is not yet a necessity. My loved one has lived there now for several months in Assisted Living, very happily. We are grateful because the Memory Care is a totally different level of care that she is not yet at. The housekeeping is very good. Her room and the whole facility pass the "smell test" on a regular basis. After just a few weeks, we felt like all of the nursing staff knew her and understood her routines. It was also very helpful that they knew us so when we (the family) would go visit, they would often pull us aside and give us an update, so that we would understand things that she didn't remember had occurred. They've been a great asset to our family and we feel like we are a team working towards the same goal of helping her live comfortably. The meals are quite good. It is a very easy process to go eat a meal with her for only five dollars. Where else can you get a decent meal for such a low price? Often we just go sit with her while she eats amongst some of her friends. The dining room is equipped with clean table linens at every meal and you are served by the staff at the facility as if you're in a restaurant. They take great pride in giving quality table service. I should also comment on the Activities Director. She is amazing in knowing every resident's name, always having an upbeat, positive attitude, and has a unique way of enticing residents to be involved in activities, including exercise and craft classes. Our loved one would never have done that on her own, but is now a regular participant in those activities. This gives her a reason to get up every day, get dressed, be clean, and make new friends while being active and keeping an active mind. We will forever be grateful to The Grove for a significantly improved quality of life for our loved one.

Assisted living anywhere is very expensive. This was about what you'd pay anywhere even if it wasn't the quality of Callahan. We were very grateful for the care mom received the short time she was there. It was excellent and we felt lucky there was a space available for mom. I would highly recommend it. And I will never forget how lovely every single person was, right down to engineering, who stopped by to see mom or pay their respects on her passing.

I always knew that when it was time to move from my home, that Heatherwood is where I wanted to be. I'm so happy to be here. Everyone is so friendly and it feels like family. I have made friends and am enjoying life.

Our kids helped find the best Assisted Living and they sure did a great job. We have settled in and love living here. The food is great and the staff is, too.

Prior to moving here nearly 6 years ago, we reviewed other assisted living facilities and found HeatherWood exceeded them all. Several have been built since so I can no longer give an objective opinion. But we consider HeatherWood to be "home." As an example, my wife died recently, and the care, concern, and compassion shown by the entire staff was remarkable. The service was held in the Chapel, and the total staff worked to make sure the service, the visitation, the lunch, and the full meal went smoothly. The caregivers are very friendly, and are rated as such. The meals are excellent. I've gained 10 pounds since coming here. There are more activities than I can take part in. I have no desire to live anywhere else.

One of the great places to live in Eau Claire.

I just visited my aunt for the first time at this facility. What really stood out was the sincerity of attention the staff provided. Their hearts are in the right place. The patience and attention they give is true and not "just a job". Would recommend highly. Many thanks to all the staff !

Woodland Palms is changing the game! From the daily opportunities for creativity and community engagement to the beautiful one-on-one relationships between residents and caregivers that reflect a care and compassion that is not necessarily what many elders are offered at this stage in their life, this community has left an undeniable impression on me.

This facility is a hidden jewel! The courtyard is beautiful. There are activities going on for the residents every day. The staff and management are extremely caring, kind, friendly, and knowledgeable. All of the residents seem very well taken care of and happy! This memory care facility has a very homey and comfortable vibe throughout the whole community. I highly recommend taking a tour and seeing for yourself!

Overall amazing staff who offer residents daily guidance, support and encouragement. A vital part of this community is the excellence and variety in ACTIVITIES. SPECIAL high honors are directed to [name removed]. She is VERY positive and always has a smile. One of the highlights for my wife (new resident) is the Sunday morning Worship Service. We start with a hymn sing, which greatly encourages her because she has been playing the piano in church and camp settings almost her whole life. Now she is able to bless other residents with her piano playing. [name removed] has multiple talents as she leads in various group activities, special projects, group outings and even helping to organize a PROM night which the residents LOVED. She organized donations of prom dresses which made each resident feel VERY SPECIAL! [name removed], my wife, family and I salute and THANK YOU. May God continue to give you the strength, insights and energy to carry on with enthusiasm.

I volunteer with actives with the life enrichment director [name removed]. [name removed] goes above and beyond in this role! The residents light up when [name removed] enters the room! They are absolutely so kind and bring so much joy and light to these people with not only the activities they do with them but every daily interaction.

Firstly, in the entrance is a lovely outdoor courtyard with trees, grass, and flowers. It is a peaceful setting for any residents who want to sit outside, or enjoy the view from their rooms. In the hallways Ive seen some nice art, and also colorful drawings posted on doors that residents have done themselves. I like the variety of activities offered, and notice how the residents perk up with new things in their daily routine. One activity offered is the opportunity for residents to visit with therapy dogs. I would bring my therapy dog, and i know many residents looked forward to her visit and enjoyed their time interacting with a loving animal..... I didnt know too many staff, but ones i did know were very friendly and helpful.

The team's commitment to providing top-notch wellness services and life-enrichment opportunities for the elderly is commendable. Their comprehensive approach to wellness brings so much more joy to their patient's lives. The activities department offers a wide range of services that enrich the lives of the residents. From physical exercises to cognitive stimulation, they leave no stone unturned in promoting the overall well-being of the adults under their care. The dedicated staff members ensure that each resident receives personalized attention, considering their unique abilities and preferences.

As an entertainer, I am in a unique position to observe the goings on and interaction with the residents, the caregivers, and the facility personal. I find the care givers very nice, the personnel that I deal with are professional and friendly, and the residents are Wonderful. I really enjoy my time at Woodland...Doug O'Brien

I love the environment of woodland palms. The residents are happy and full of life. They are cared for and always have something engaging them. It is a great place! This place is doing things right and I love volunteering!

My mom moved in a few months ago and the experience has been amazing. Today, we joined her for chair Zumba and trivia! This has been a wonderful environment for her. The activities are amazing and [name removed], the activities director, has a wonderful gift of interacting with the residents and brightening each persons day! She goes out of her way to continuously spread joy and kindness to everyone. We thank God for the Grove.

My mom moved into the Grove at Midtown in [date removed], and we could not be more pleased with all the care but especially the daily activities planned for the residents. The three activity directors are kind and energetic, but most importantly they truly create a personal relationship with every resident. My mom is always made to feel special and gets more hugs than I give her! The activities themselves keep the residents busy if they choose to attend, and if residents are a little hesitant, the activity directors do everything to try to remind and urge them to take part. In addition to consistent daily activities such as exercise, bingo, crafts, etc. special occasion activities such as outings, musical guests, and parties are sprinkled throughout each month. They do everything they can to throw the best special occasion parties. Just in May they hosted an all-day Cinco de Mayo celebration and put on a "senior" prom. I couldn't be more pleased with the activities at The Grove.

Our family had an in person tour with Silver Creek Senior Living and we thought the tour experience was great as well as the staff members we met with, they put on a really good presentation.
