About This Community

Oak Hill Terrace Senior Living in Waukesha is filled with opportunities to stay involved. Fireside chats in the lobby about current events are popular and newcomers are always welcome. You’ll find neighbors who practice chair yoga, play Wii bowling, or take part in a regular Drum Circle. And a favorite option is the ongoing program on brain fitness. Check the calendar for the Monday night movie, and sign up for one of the shopping trips. There is always something to do, and someone to do it with.

Oak Hill Terrace is a community of people dedicated to helping you stay healthy, active and engaged so you can truly enjoy this time of life. Everyone who works here has one thing in common: an appreciation and respect for older adults. You’ll see it in the friendly smiles, the genuine interest in stories from the past and the way our staff relates to everyone who lives here.

The activities offered at Oak Hill Terrace match the diverse make-up of those who live here. People at Oak Hill Terrace are as active as they want to be. Every month there is a full calendar of social and educational opportunities offered to residents, including specialized calendars for our programs serving the physically frail and those with dementia.

In our communities, seniors do not merely reside. They thrive. That’s because ensuring their good health and helping them stay active and engaged isn’t merely part of a mission statement that hangs on a wall, it’s part of our daily routine. And our full-time Lifestyle Director monitors the number and types of programs at Oak Hill Terrace monthly to make sure that the expected balance of social, wellness, creative, educational and spiritual activities are scheduled. Here are a just a few examples of Oak Hill Terrace activities:

Social

Plan to stop at Monday Night at the Movies, the monthly birthday party or attend a cooking demonstration (and eat or drink the results)! You’ll find a monthly book exchange with the Waukesha librarian who brings the latest offerings. And you’ll want to check the calendar to see what shopping trips are coming up. You’ll find lots of opportunities to socialize every single day.

Health & Wellness

Start the day with exercise, six days a week. Or try Tai Chi, Drums Alive, or Chair Dancing. Prefer to exercise in the afternoon? Join the Fitness Club or build strength and endurance with Wii bowling. Get your blood pressure checked at a scheduled wellness clinic. And enjoy healthy and tasty dining daily, with choices at every meal, prepared onsite by highly trained chefs. Meal plan is not mandatory. We offer tangible ways to live healthier.

Creative and Educational

Join people who participate in a pen pal program or volunteer in a reading program at a nearby school. Try a special class like beer making, floral arranging, acrylic painting or stained glass. Attend our monthly "Simple Science" program and see experiments in action! Many people living at Oak Hill Terrace have tried new creative hobbies they just never seemed to have time to try before. It’s easy to stay active.

Spiritual

Attend weekly Catholic mass and communion, or a weekly Protestant service, all held on-site at Oak Hill Terrace. Join others for rosary hour held weekly, led by our generous community volunteers, or music ministry, that includes hymns and readings. Consider attending an activity offered by one of our volunteer community churches. There are many opportunities to remain spiritually nourished. Oak Hill Terrace is open to all faiths.

Oak Hill Terrace Senior Living was a little dated, and the apartment we got to see was not cleaned up. The carpets were very spotted, and there were things out of the woodwork. It looked like it had been lived in. I think they offered good services, especially for independent living (where they had the pull cords and they check on people daily). It was set up obviously for senior people. It had a balcony. It's just that it was tired. Probably with a little elbow grease, it probably could go right back into shape. The staff was very nice. We gave them basically no notice. We just said, "Can we come over this afternoon?" They accommodated us very nicely. COVID was going on at the time, so everybody was wearing masks. They have very nice personnel. Size wise, the room was about what I would expect. It was a one-bedroom that I looked at. It had a living room and a small kitchenette. The bathtub was a regular bathtub, which surprised me a little bit because those are sometimes hard to get into for seniors. Everything was nice except that it was a little dated. The grounds were nice, and the entryway was nice. We looked at the menu just for that week. I was looking for an 89-year-old woman, and the food was kind of extravagant for that age. They said that they just hired a chef that had her own farm. She had a restaurant on her farm, and it was all food from her farm. I imagine it was probably very good that way. It was something I would like and appreciate more than somebody like an 89-year-old woman, who just wants mashed potatoes and meat.

I visited the independent living side of Oak Hill Terrace Senior Living. I was very happy with the tour. The lady that led me through was very helpful, very friendly, and very knowledgeable. I would have moved in there, except all they had available was a very small studio and it was just too small for my needs. They went over the activities too. I liked the facility, it was very nice. They had an exercise room and they had gardens available if you choose to participate. I would recommend the facility.

Oak Hill Terrace Senior Living was quite nice. It was a little old, but other than that, it was very nicely run and clean. They showed us both independent living and assisted living and that's the nicest thing about it, you can just change from apartment living to assisted living. The manager was very knowledgeable and very good. He has answered the questions that we had. He was there for like 15 years, and so he knew all about the place. The apartments had a kitchenette and microwave, but the laundry was external and was located on each floor. They had an outdoor patio, too, and a very nice lobby area.
