Teal Shores sits on 19 acres of natural woodlands near the shores of Lake Michigan in Mequon, Wisconsin, and offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care apartments, with a person-centered approach where friendly staff encourage residents to thrive and celebrate their uniqueness. People living there find a maintenance-free environment with services like housekeeping, linen, laundry, and utilities all wrapped up with cable and WiFi, so folks don't have to worry about those things. Apartments come in studio, one-, two-, or three-bedroom layouts, all with either private bathrooms or full kitchens and in-unit washers and dryers, and there's also specialized studios with extra assistance for those who need it. There's secure building access, barrier-free paths, and the place allows pets, which means folks can bring their companions along, and that's a comfort for many. The place provides meals-including vegetarian and kosher options-restaurant-style dining, and has a beautician onsite, plus campus spaces like a movie theater, fitness center, hair salon, party room, and plenty of indoor and outdoor spots for meeting up, relaxing, or taking in the fresh air on landscaped paths or outdoor patios. Staff help with daily needs like bathing, medication management, and offer specialized dementia support, skilled nursing, rehab, and even short-term rehab or respite stays if someone's just visiting or recovering from an illness. There's a full schedule of activities, events, fitness, and educational programs, so people find something to stay busy with each day, and transportation gets residents to shopping and outings. Doctors, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and podiatry services are all available through partnerships, and the pharmacy helps manage medications. No long-term commitments or high endowment fees tie people down, since apartments rent month-to-month. The community is managed by Capri Communities and transitions under their management in September 2024, and it's known for its caring, joyful staff who help create a home-like feeling, whether someone needs lots of assistance or prefers a more independent style of living. Teal Shores sits close to shops, restaurants, entertainment, and medical facilities, and keeps things simple, safe, and geared toward helping seniors stay active, connect, and enjoy their days.

Welcoming staff but serious concerns
I had a mixed, ultimately worrying experience. The building, grounds, leadership transition and several staff (Malia, Samantha, Capri team) felt welcoming, activities were lively, and parts of the community seemed energetic and well-maintained. But long wait times, unresponsive/short-staffed caregivers, missed showers and feeding/transfer help, and serious cleanliness issues (urine/feces, dirty rooms) left me deeply concerned - food quality and meal service were also frequently poor. Management was slow or stopped communicating about complaints; some improvements were noted after changes, but I would not trust this place for high-care needs until staffing, hygiene, and responsiveness are fixed.
