    Compassionate caregivers, management, safety concerns

    I appreciate the compassionate, friendly caregivers, daily care journaling, hospice coordination, home-cooked family-style meals, activities, and spotless, well-kept grounds - it feels welcoming and restful. However, management has been unprofessional and indifferent, and unmasked visitors/COVID safety lapses are a real concern, so I hesitate to recommend.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment from the collected reviews skews positive with strong, repeated praise for frontline caregiving, meals, activities, and the physical environment. Multiple reviewers highlight the staff as caring, compassionate, friendly, and courteous; one summary even uses the words "incredible staff" and expresses gratitude. Care processes are noted positively as well: reviewers mention daily care journaling and coordination with hospice, suggesting a structured approach to resident needs and end-of-life care. These comments indicate that, for many families and residents, the day-to-day hands-on care is a major strength of Rose Mary Manor Assisted Living.

    Dining and social programming are clear highlights. Several reviews emphasize home-cooked, family-style meals and family involvement in dining, which points to a communal dining experience and a homelike approach to meals. Activity programming is consistently mentioned: monthly and holiday activities, games, seasonal crafts, and family events provide social stimulation and opportunities for engagement. The physical campus also receives positive notes — outdoor gardens, a patio, well-kept and spotless grounds, and a generally welcoming, restful environment contribute to a pleasant setting for residents and visitors.

    However, there is a notable and serious negative thread in the summaries related to management and safety. At least one review calls out "unprofessional management" and a perceived lack of care for residents. Linked to that, COVID-related safety concerns were raised: specifically, unmasked visitors creating a safety risk. These comments contrast with the otherwise positive reports about caregiving staff and suggest a possible disconnect between frontline caregivers and administrative practices or enforcement of policies. While most comments praise staff behavior and direct care, the concerns about management and visitor safety are significant because they involve resident wellbeing and institutional accountability.

    Taken together, the pattern that emerges is of a facility with strong hands-on caregiving, appealing dining and activity offerings, and attractive, well-maintained grounds — elements that foster a warm, family-like atmosphere. At the same time, prospective residents and families should be aware of the reported management and safety concerns. Because the negative comments focus on institutional-level issues (management professionalism and infection-control practices regarding visitors), they warrant direct follow-up: prospective families may want to ask facility leadership about current COVID/visitor policies, how they are enforced, and how management addresses complaints or lapses in resident care. Verifying recent inspection reports, speaking to multiple families, and observing staff-management interactions during a visit could help reconcile the generally high praise for caregivers with the isolated but important criticisms about administration and safety.

    About Rose Mary Manor Assisted Living

    Rose Mary Manor Assisted Living sits about 10.6 miles outside Antigo, Wisconsin, in Mattoon, and has a small, close-knit community with only 8 assisted living units, which means residents get more personal care and staff know everyone by name, which some folks like, and with a state-licensed capacity and Wisconsin license # 610100, you know it's regulated. The building's got a choice of rooms, including studios, one-bedroom suites, two-bedroom options, shared apartments, and private or semi-private spots, all with the option for in-room washer and dryer, which comes in handy and keeps things feeling a bit more like home, and you'll find kitchenettes or shared kitchens, depending on the unit, while the emergency systems in every room, keyless entry with keypad security, and staff awake all day and night help give folks peace of mind about safety. Memory care is a big part of their services, with a secure area, staff trained for Alzheimer's and dementia, and alert systems for wandering, and they also provide skilled nursing, incontinence and diabetes care, help with Parkinson's, and even manual feeding and help with dressing, bathing, transferring, and daily living tasks. They offer home care too, plus regular monthly doctor visits, health monitoring, and massage therapy for those who want it, and there's always someone available because the place is open 24/7 for continuous support. Meals are home cooked and served in a dining room where everyone sits together, which helps people stay social, and they do special menus for dietary needs and catering for events, along with birthday parties and holiday meals, which helps brighten things up a bit. For recreation, you'll find activities scheduled every month with extra events for holidays, arts and crafts, movie nights in a theater room, a games room with cards and bingo, and a wellness center with daily fitness and health activities, and when the weather's nice, small outdoor gardens, a patio with furniture, and landscaped walking trails give residents a spot to enjoy the sun or visit with guests. They include utilities and cable, help with medications and reminders, and basic housekeeping and upkeep, and you've also got access to a barbershop, a beauty salon, religious chapel, library, snack shop, bistro, pet-friendly spots, emergency response, pharmacy services, parking, and even transportation for errands or appointments. The staff will folks inside the facility when needed, and family members are welcome for scheduled get-togethers. Rose Mary Manor Assisted Living doesn't have the highest ratings-an average of 5.6 out of 10, which happens to be the top in its small city-but the place is steady, well-staffed, and known for a friendly, personal touch, which, for some, makes day-to-day life just fine, and there's always an effort to keep the environment comfortable, safe, and familiar.
