    Pleasant facility but unsafe management

    I found the frontline staff extremely helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and responsive - meds and relationships with residents/families were handled well. The building is newer, clean and larger with a pleasant atmosphere, activities, and it felt like a good fit near my home. Food quality was inconsistent (cooking staff seemed unhappy; some residents like it), and I noticed cigarette butts and a strong weed smell at times. My biggest concern was management - an incompetent director, favoritism/clique culture, unpaid on-call, poor shift communication, high turnover - issues that led me to quit. I also saw paperwork and reporting lapses, missed call-button responses and safety worries. Unless leadership changes, I can't recommend it, though Creek Side Terrace is a strong contender.

    About Caring Alternatives Creek Side Manor

    Caring Alternatives Creek Side Manor is a senior living community in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, that offers assisted living and memory care services in a home-like setting where residents can feel safe and comfortable. The place has 20 assisted living units and five suites for couples or those who want more space, with private rooms that have full baths, refrigerators, cable TV, phone jacks, and climate controls. The community provides 24/7 care with licensed nurses and trained staff who offer help with daily living tasks like bathing, dressing, and medication reminders. There's on-site support from nurses, a podiatrist, a doctor on call, and therapies like physical, occupational, and speech therapy, all available in a therapy room right at the facility. Residents with memory care needs or dementia live in a separate building called Creek Side Terrace, which has 25 units, secure entrances to prevent wandering, and programs to help them stay engaged and supervised.

    Creek Side Manor puts a lot into making everyone feel connected and active, with a full schedule of social, educational, and entertaining activities every day, plus movie nights, resident-led events, and community occasions. Staff are always around to encourage participation, help out when needed, and make sure everyone feels part of the group. The community has large common spaces, including two living rooms with fireplaces and two bright sunrooms, and a lovely outdoor patio where people can gather or just sit and relax. There's a library, walking paths, a garden, an arts room, and even an on-site beauty salon and barbershop, so residents don't have to leave to get their hair done or enjoy a soak in the whirlpool spa. Wheelchair access and non-ambulatory care are part of the design, and there are emergency alert systems in every room for safety and peace of mind.

    Meals are prepared on site, and residents can eat any time of day in the elegant main dining room or a private dining room for special occasions. The kitchen team works with special diets as needed, offering nutritious food made with good ingredients. Housekeeping, laundry, and even dry cleaning services are handled for everyone, so daily chores aren't a worry. Residents can bring pets, decorate their rooms, and take part in devotional services offsite if they wish. The facility's move-in support makes the transition easier for new residents.

    Caring Alternatives Creek Side Manor has been serving elders since 1996, is independently owned, and participates in Diamond Accreditation and WALA membership, proving a long-standing focus on quality. The staff are described as friendly, helpful, and kind to both residents and visitors, keeping the place clean and well-kept. There's an aging-in-place approach, which means care can adjust over time as residents' needs change, so people don't have to move out if they start to need more help. Creek Side Manor, along with Creek Side Terrace and Caring Alternatives of Muskego, aims to give seniors a sense of comfort, connection, and dignity, with services for those with mobility issues, mild cognitive impairment, or Alzheimer's, always keeping safety and well-being at the center of daily life.
