We toured Timbers of Shorewood. We looked more at independent living than assisted living. We also looked at extra options for independent care. The apartment was very nice. It's furnished. We also liked that it could accommodate us if we needed to stay with them at night. If he wasn't going to stay there for a long period of time, they would prorate everything, and we wouldn't be locked into extra time of day if we didn't need it. That was very good to hear. Somebody is always kind of keeping an eye on the resident and that's a good thing for us if our father did go there. They would know if he's moving around. We can also have check-ups on him. They have a salon, a little workout area, and the main banquet room. There are three floors and each floor has a patio area where people can go out and sit. My dad is a smoker and there are areas that they can go, and they don't have to go off of the property. They take care of the people with an area to make them happier about where they're at. So, that was very good.

We were at Timbers of Shorewood. I like the facility. The person who showed us around was Stacey, and she was excellent. We just had a nice time. We were only interested in independent living. They were comparable to the other facility. Our cat can go there, too. Stacey was very nice. She interacted well with us. I think they did a really good job with the facility.

We toured Timbers of Shorewood, they were nice. I might put my parents there. I like the cleanliness, the staff was nice, and the design and everything that I saw I like. When you walk in, it just looks very homey and very inviting. They have the dining amenity and it looked nice.

There's a pond around the back of Timbers of Shorewood. We were able to go into this one room and talk to this one lady; she was very nice. The layout of the community looks nice. There was also another lady at the desk. I was able to walk in, walked through another door, and sat down at the table.

We chose Timbers of Shorewood for my mom-in-law. My husband likes this one better. Also the location was good for us. He likes the fact that there is somebody there 24/7 because it is assisted and independent. They put my mom-in-law in the last room that's available for assisted. She is still in independent living but she is right there on the edge of the assisted, so that if she needs to be moved to assisted, we won't have to move her to another apartment. I really don't know too much about the staff. We really haven't been able to be in there since she got moved in. The staff all seemed to be very helpful. The facility is beautiful. It's well maintained, clean, and it's beautiful outside. The walking area is really well nicely decorated for the residents. They have a lot of activities. Some are on hold at the moment, but I know Mom has gone to bingo and to pokeno that she likes. They have exercise classes, too. They actually have very nice activities. They have a lot of social gathering and stuff for them, but until this Covid has left of course those are kinda non-existent. I don't think the value for money is too bad. It's not the highest priced and it's not the lowest priced. We like their meal plans because they have more than just one meal. They have the chef's menu which gives you the fancier kinds of entrees and stuff. You can have hotdog, soup or salad if you don't want the chef's menu. They have a larger variety of food for them to have. Because my mom-in-law is one of the people that a lot of times just wants soup and she doesn't really want a heavy meal, it works that well for her. There's still room for improvement because we don't know how happy she's actually going to be there. Right now, she's not the happiest with this because she hasn't been able to do anything. I want to see what's going to happen once things open up to where she can actually join in more activities and we can actually go and visit. Right now, it is outdoor visitations only and she's not going to be liking that pretty soon because it's going to be too cold for her. We really like the layout of the building and the way it is set up. We like her room. Her room is perfect for somebody who is starting to have a little bit of mental loss and that kind of thing. I like the way the rooms are set up because she has the opportunity for a full kitchen if she wants one, which is nice. Hopefully, when things loosen up, we can go over there and cook a meal with her.

Timbers of Shorewood did not meet our needs because it was independent living. The studio and the one-bedroom apartments were very nice. It was just too high of a level of functioning for Mom. We were pleased with the appearance. The rooms were a very nice size. They had some really nice safety things in place where you had to switch a good morning plate on your door to make sure that you are awake and a good night plate when you went to bed. They would check on that without being too intrusive. The person during the tour was very pleasant with her descriptions and what could be done, trying to see if somehow it could work. They had options for meal plans where you could choose two or three meals a day and it could be breakfast and dinner or lunch and dinner or it could be all three. It was a very nice place.

Timbers of Shorewood was beautiful, clean, and very nice. The apartments were very nice, roomy, and clean. The dining area was run by an actual restaurant. The staff was nice.

Timbers of Shorewoods had wonderful, modern facilities and very helpful staff with a very good attitude. However, it was significantly more expensive. They had the nicest set up.
