Testimonials From Angelus Family Members
Mom was one of the first residents to live at Angelus Senior Living in Manitowoc. The atmosphere is beyond beautiful, with the views of Lake Michigan on one side and Lincoln Park nature reserve on the other. It is a bright, warm welcoming place the moment you walk in. So beauty is one thing but what we really cared about was how Mom was cared for. It was beyond wonderful. The staff is fantastic, and Katie is always available to all the residents and their families. Any concern we had was dealt with and corrected immediately, we had very few concerns. The staff treats the residents with love and respect always. And talk about activities - non stop. You can choose to participate or not. They even have Happy Hour every Friday with live entertainment. I would go there myself when the time was right! Rest assured your love one will be well cared for and will enjoy this phase of their life.
Thank you Angelus
Never did I think we would ever be able to convince our parents to move into a senior living apartment village, but then we found Angelus. As the name impliesAngels among us is exactly what this community is. Katie, Jodi, Kay, and Nancy treat everyone as family. They give the best personal care to every single resident (and their families!). The staff at Angelus get to know each resident so well that the staff adjusts activities and projects to each individuals preferences and strengths. They always listen to family members, and their primary focus is to always make certain that their residents feel good and comfortable and at home.
Residents are invited to be as involved as theyd like to bewith countless opportunities to be an integral part of their community. Fun, engaging, educational, and wellness-oriented activities are constantly happening. Indoor, outdoors, in the communityyou name it. And if they don't have something already planned, Katie, Jodi, and Kay are always receptive to new ideas! To end each week positively, they get the weekend started off right with a full-blown Happy Hour, with music, dancing, and even card-playing!
With the beauty of this incredible living space (My dad often refers to it as his cruise ship hotel.), along with the nature setting outdoors (Lake Michigan and water falls out front, and the Lincoln Park Zoo, woods, and walking path behind, you would be hard-pressed to find a more beautiful place.
Still what makes it most beautiful is the care and love you feel the moment you walk in. Its all about community, love, and caring for one another. That is evident in every interaction, every decoration, and every activity within the walls of Angelus. I promise you that the best place for a loved one to enjoy their golden years is at Angelus Senior Living! You will be so blessed to be a part of the Angelus family.
My parent recently moved to Angelus. The interaction with the leadership staff as we made the transition from another apartment complex was outstanding. The personal attention was given to help with orientation, and the assisted living staff has done a great job helping with personal needs. My parent loves the beautiful view of Lake Michigan and the river and forest behind the facility. Home-cooked meals are excellent, and the social atmosphere is very pleasant. My parent finds the staff very friendly and has comfort with the pendant system which allows for immediate contact with caregivers at the push of a button 24 hours per day. Our family appreciates the security and monitoring of needs that are part of the Angelus care system. We value the fact that levels of care can be increased as needed, thereby making it unlikely another move will be necessary as our parents further age. We were very impressed with the fact Angelus arranged for COVID vaccination for all residents as soon as the vaccine became available in January. My parent has participated in and enjoyed some of the many social activities arranged by the staff, but is also allowed to have independence in daily life. We believe the atmosphere at Angelus is among the safest that can be found for our parents during the period of Covid concern. I would highly recommend Angelus for anyone seeking a Residential Care Apartment Complex for their loved ones or themselves.
"Is this where I'll be living? It's so beautiful!" were my mother's first words when she first came to Angelus Senior Living. She continued to enjoy the facilities and her apartment but soon came to appreciate the staff even more. She was an extremely fussy eater, but the chef treated her with great consideration. He spent as much time as needed talking with her to figure out what she would enjoy eating and what she wouldn’t eat at all. Above all, she praised "The Girls”, who helped her with daily living tasks and always responded cheerfully when she called for help. They also let me know whenever they felt she needed me to help with a problem. Although she passed within a year of moving in, I will always be grateful for the considerate and consistent care she received for her entire residence.
What made you choose Angela Senior Living?
Well, I look at things from an economic point of view, and I checked on about five or six places that have assisted living, and this one was the best price. It's the extras that make a difference. And by the extras, I mean, here you get your TV, you get your cleaning, you get your laundry, and the utilities are all taken care of. And the fact that it is more modern, it's easier to get through with the wheelchair and things like that. You go into a shower, you don't have to step over a bathtub to get in.
Would you recommend Angela Senior living?
I already have several times! I've handed out the booklets. Nobody likes to move, but they look at this place and it's really the kind of place that you want to go to for an assisted living. They're always helpful and they're always pleasant. We enjoy being here. Nothing's like home. But this is about as close as we can get.
Can you describe the community here at Angelus?
Yeah, I can! It's wonderful, to begin with, and they come from all walks of life, and they become friends and family. You know, it's just wonderful. And I do think that the happy hour helps people socially get to know one another.
What other things do you enjoy doing here at Angelus besides? Happy hour?
Oh, I enjoy bingo. That's my favorite. And because you're with people, you're not sitting alone in the apartment.
How did the staff here at Angelus make you feel right at home?
Well, to begin with, Katie was very accommodating and everything when I moved. The employees are positively excellent. They're there with a smile and try their best, they make you feel like an important individual. You can't ask for more.
