    Highly positive, compassionate, home-like care

    I placed my mom at 4525 Gunderson and have been very pleased. The staff - especially Melinda - are amazingly caring and attentive; her personal needs are always well-kept and the facility is spotless. It feels home-like with a strong spiritual atmosphere, three homes connected in a T that make visiting residents easy, and single rooms available. She gets excellent one-on-one care, regular walks, and craft/social activities, and they handled end-of-life care with compassion. Overall a highly positive experience.

    Summary of reviews

    The reviews present a mixed picture. Several families describe attentive, individualized hands-on care: staff who provide one-on-one attention, take residents for walks, and assist with personal needs in a manner families perceive as compassionate. Multiple comments also highlight a home-like environment with communal spaces and a layout of connected houses that can make visiting straightforward; the facility appears to have experience working with residents who have memory impairment or advanced dementia.

    At the same time, recurring operational concerns appear across reviews. Communication and billing transparency gaps are a consistent theme, including confusion about extra hospice-related charges and restrictions around hospice access. Ownership and management practices were described as controlling or inflexible by some reviewers; this includes a visitation policy that requires advance notice and limits unscheduled visits, restrictions on taking residents offsite, and limited celebration or outing opportunities. A small number of reviewers raised serious allegations about missing items and questioned ownership transparency and financial handling.

    Staffing and conduct are uneven in accounts: while some families praise caring CNAs and good personal-care support, others describe inconsistent professionalism, unresponsive interactions, and concerns about medication handling. Activity programming is another mixed area — the facility provides some individual engagement and attempts to involve residents, but reviewers also cite a lack of a formal activities director and limited group programming, which can lead to under-stimulation or isolation, particularly when residents are spread across separate houses.

    Facility-level issues noted include small room footprints and limited storage, occasional sanitation and odor concerns in shared areas, and only limited bathroom availability in certain units. Dining feedback is variable: some find meals acceptable, while others point to restricted diets and low perceived meal quality. Families also expressed concern about inventory controls and property security after incidents involving missing equipment.

    In summary, Personally Yours Elder Care appears to offer strengths in personalized, compassionate caregiving and a domestic, memory-care–focused environment. Prospective residents and families should weigh those strengths against operational issues identified by reviewers: restrictive visitation and hospice policies, uneven staff professionalism, activity-program gaps, room size limitations, and concerns about communication and billing. Visiting the facility at the correct address, asking for written policies on hospice, visitation, activities, medication administration, and billing, and speaking with current families can help clarify whether the facility’s practices align with your expectations.

    About Personally Yours Elder Care

    Personally Yours Elder Care sits on Gunderson Road, outside of Waterford, Wisconsin, spread across two state-licensed buildings in a quiet, wooded, rural setting with three separate houses set up as Adult Family Homes. Each house has space for up to four residents, giving folks a calm and home-like atmosphere where staff can pay close attention to everyone's needs. There's always a caregiver on site, never more than four residents for every one caregiver, with staff on duty around the clock, so someone's always there to help with different needs like bathing, dressing, or transfers. The care team includes caregivers, an owner/administrator, a full-time IT person, a Healthcare Coordinator who checks on medical needs and keeps up contact with local physicians, and also an Activities Coordinator who makes sure everybody's got something to do, stopping in at each house to bring exercise, games, and help keep minds busy. Meals are home-cooked at each house, served fresh and hot, with snacks available morning and afternoon, and the care team adjusts meals for special diet needs, working off each resident's doctor's instructions, with a big push to keep folks hydrated throughout the day.

    Residents can get independent living support, memory care for dementia or Alzheimer's, assisted living, or board and care, with hospice and respite care options for those who need them. The place is wheelchair accessible, with features like wide doorways, ramps, and wheelchair-accessible showers, as well as handy adaptive equipment for safe movement and to help prevent falls or injuries. The staff helps with grooming and safety, and a nurse is always on call to address health concerns, with staff providing care for people who have diabetes, need help with incontinence, or can't walk on their own. Every room is private and set up for comfort-some even come with outdoor views, and residents can sit outside on the porch or enjoy the wooded lot. The houses have indoor and outdoor common areas, a private patio, walking paths, a community garden, and a lounge for movie nights, so there are plenty of chances to get together or find a peaceful spot for yourself. Activities are planned both inside and out in the community, and residents are encouraged to keep up with daily skills and social time with other folks.

    Personally Yours Elder Care welcomes pets, and families play a big part in setting up and reviewing care plans. Safety measures like call systems and emergency alerts are in every home, and the staff manages laundry, housekeeping, dry cleaning, and even provides free transportation for outings or appointments. The company isn't Medicare certified and doesn't accept Medicare, but it does have a license from state and local regulators. It operates affordably compared to a nursing home and tries its best to make each resident feel respected and supported, with care plans tailored to the individual's needs and choices, offering dignity and company in a quieter, friendly home.
