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.

I toured Oak Hill Terrace Senior Living. I liked this facility. I liked the 3 different room sizes that they had available. They had nice activities, like cards, games, parties, and live entertainment. The staff answered my questions and gave me the time I needed. She was exceptional. They had laundry services, housekeeping, and cable TV, and their rooms had appliances. They also had a physical therapy room.

We moved our mother into Oak Hill Terrace Senior Living. Of the two that we looked at, Oak Hill was by far the smallest and most close knit. It's a nice place. It's under renovation right now with new owners. The family that had owned it for many, many years had retired and a new group had bought it. It's multilevel care, so you can be independent and you can have also assisted living up to a level four. They also have memory care available. They have a super nice and engaged staff. They recognize us by name when we see them and when we call, they address all of our issues and concerns. It was quite a transition and they were very helpful and very supportive and could answer all of our questions, so we were very comfortable with making that move. The rooms were very nice. A one-bedroom apartment is where my mother is. A lot of it is undergoing renovation and updates, but it's a very up-to-date and nice community. She gets meals once a day there and she likes it. She likes the soup, and she likes the variety. Not everything is her cup of tea, but there's always an option for like a hotdog, a hamburger, a grilled cheese, or scrambled eggs with every meal if you don't like what the main course options are. It's very good. They have lots of activities. They have a whole calendar they publish every month and there's stuff from music to bingo to everything. They do a lot to keep the community engaged. They just don't sit in their apartments. They want them all to come out and be together and talk to one another and kind of be a community. It's a great community. The skilled nursing staff, all the people from dietary to the business management, the people who helped us make the transition, they're topnotch. They're working on remodeling and updates to it. It's getting a facelift and it looks great. They have something every day. It's not just one thing once in a while. It's like a day full of activities. It's an adjustment for us from where mom was. To bring in skilled care for her and to do the things they're doing, it's not cheap, but it's a good value, especially if you shop around and look.

My in-laws will probably be going to Oak Hill Terrace Senior Living. The tour was good. The staff that helped us was very friendly and seemed to know the answers to everything we asked. The apartment looked like it would be sufficient for them. The apartment has two smaller bedrooms, which I think is pretty much what my mother-in-law wanted. It was nice. The only thing that was lacking is a patio outside, which they used to have. Otherwise, it looks like it will be sufficient. It has a large living room. They're working hard on the remodel right now. The staff said that they will have more buses to go places for actvities. Right now, they're just doing shopping, but I think they're going to improve on that. They're supposed to have activities. They have bingo, of course. Despite the fact that there is a lot of noise and stuff going on right now with the remodel, everything seemed clean and fine.
