Community Reviews
Nobody's perfect, but they're pretty darn good
reviewed on: 05/06/2021 by MollyIt's really handy to be independent here. They have the facility set up where you can just be in your own room but then leave essentially for meals and little outings. But then also, it's good to have that transition available if things do decline over time. And it definitely doesn't feel like a nursing home. It feels like a normal apartment building. I see quite a few other residents that are quite able bodied. One of the residents is really lovely - she made my loved one a wreath as soon as he moved in. The other residents are nice as well, and will say hi as you pass by. The staff have been very friendly. I know they're struggling with staffing right now, which I don't blame them for, but it would be nice to have more help for my loved one. We've run into some communication issues, probably also due to staffing. But we're also worry warts. We'll call ahead of time if we know he has an appointment or something coming up, and make sure everything is in place. He loves the food, but he isn't happy with the portion sizes. But if he could he could snack all the time all day, he would. From the meals I've seen, they give fruit, salad, potatoes, a little bit of everything that includes the whole food pyramid, which is nice. I really enjoy seeing him getting out a lot, doing bingo and stretches, and that's so important to me. They offer plenty of other activities too, including a guy's coffee group, and a prayer/rosary/religious group, which is nice.
A lovely place for respite care
reviewed on: 10/06/2013 by KathleenMy mother-in-law needed a respite placement following surgery. Not many places offer respite care. We were able to tour the facility and enroll "G" at EFR. The building was well kept and the staff friendly. They took very good care of "G", attending to all her needs. Meals were home-made and portions generous.
So Far, So Good
reviewed on: 07/30/2013 by SonMy mom moved in there and so far, so good. The man we talked to was very friendly and kind.
Very nice place!
reviewed on: 02/20/2015 by AnonymousI think they do a great job overall at Emeritus at Fox River. The facility itself is clean and well maintained, and we're happy with the care she is getting. They have a good variety of activities and outings, and she seems to enjoy the food! We are happy she is here, and would recommend it to others!
my review of Dimensions Living Appleton
reviewed on: 05/27/2021 by anonymousWe did a virtual tour of this community and it was very nice. The staff was friendly and answered all of our questions. The rooms were much smaller than what we were looking for.
