ARC is the place to be

The staff is caring and on top of situations. I have been pleased with there response to Covid-19. It is clean. The food is good. They have a lot of activities to keep the residents busy. They have entertainment and music that comes in weekly. The only downside is that there is always a turn over in staff. It is hard to always have someone new.

Cheers for Appleton Retirement Community

I love the Appleton Retirement Community! First of all, the appearance and furnishings are beautiful and welcoming. Secondly, the staff are so knowledgeable and helpful. I think all of them knew my name even before I arrived. I like the comfortable seating and plenty of large clocks all through the facility. The meals are delicious , and acti vities--oh my! I am on Independent Living status now, but I can change to Assisted Living if and when I need it.

Mom's Happy Home

I like the care here for my mom. The staff are always nice and very caring to her needs. I like knowing that my mom is in a clean community that she enjoys. The menu of the meals have been very good and she is happy with the variety. I like knowing that she is active with the other residents in the activities that are offered. I would greatly recommend this community for great care and value.
