The outside isn't so attractive but the insides are clean and comfortable, the chapel is lovely and there are many friendly gathering rooms. Family and friends seem quite welcome but the most remarkable thing about this place is that the food is good, though they did foist some decaffeinated coffee on me.

I have been dining at the Milwaukee Catholic Home on and off for over three years…read more Today, my sister, father and I all met up for lunch and had an amazing experience. It started off with a cup of vegetable soup that, with the addition of just the right amount of crumbled up Ritz crackers, warmed my soul to the core. Next came a deliciously prepared grilled baloney sandwich with melted cheese on a toasted brioche bun. This sandwich took me back to my youth, much the way Ego was transported when he ate the ratatouille dish created by Rene in the movie. The masterpiece was made even more amazing by perfectly seasoned, fried shoestring potatoes. The climax to the meal was a masterful rendition of cake and ice cream presented in the form of a heavenly piece of devil's food chocolate cake topped with the creamiest of peanut butter frosting that would make a Reese's peanut butter cup weep. All of this was paired with a scoop of spumoni. An amalgamation of the most delicious chocolate, pistachio and cherry ice cream. The likes of which I have never experienced before. This experience would not have been possible had it not been for the flawless execution of our guide, Sherry, through this culinary excursion

Our family's experience with Brookdale Brookfield Woelfel Road over the course of nearly four…read moremonths (summer-fall 2025) was mixed. While there were some positive aspects, significant concerns about staffing, communication, and quality of care ultimately led us to move our mother-in-law to another facility. On the positive side, the food was very good. Residents were offered choices and could eat in a restaurant-style setting, which she genuinely enjoyed. Additionally, some staff members were exceptionally kind and went above and beyond in their care. However, there were consistent issues that impacted her well-being. Planned activities were frequently canceled due to staffing shortages. Because she is not mobile and requires assistance to attend activities, she often depended on staff to inform and help her participate. Without regular family advocacy, she was not consistently included. About a month into her stay, she was moved from a shared dining table with other residents to sitting alone--this occurred on her birthday. Given that she was adjusting to a major life transition and grieving the recent loss of her husband, this change was especially difficult. During her stay she was not consistently being taken to meals and lost a lot of weight in a short amount of time. We also observed concerns with staff presence and responsiveness. At times, staff appeared disengaged, sitting on phones or eating in common areas, making it unclear whether they were on break. Staffing levels seemed particularly limited during evenings and weekends. More concerning were issues related to personal care. During her stay, she lost 10 pounds and experienced multiple UTIs. There were several occasions when my husband arrived in the morning to find her still in the previous day's clothes, in wet incontinence garments, and with soiled bedding. While staff sometimes stated she had "refused" care, we were not confident that consistent or sufficient efforts were made. The call button system was also problematic. It required residents to hold the button down for an extended period before activation, and response times were often delayed. Some staff members were unfamiliar with how to properly reset the system so my husband had to show them how to use it. Although we requested the simple old style call button, we were told none were available, despite observing newer residents being given the old style buttons. We also encountered issues with missing personal belongings. A gold chain was replaced with a non-gold one, and a new TV remote went missing. Additionally, our mother-in-law reported that a staff member asked her to write them a personal check, which we immediately reported. Another resident nearby also reported missing cash. As her condition declined due to UTIs, she required the use of a Sara Stedy transfer device. We had to purchase this equipment ourselves and train staff on how to use it, as they had not received prior training. Eventually, we were advised to move her to memory care for more support, but instead we chose to relocate her to another facility. Since moving, her condition has improved significantly. She has regained strength, is walking short distances, maintaining her weight, bathing regularly, and is consistently dressed and cared for. While there were some compassionate individuals on staff at Brookdale, our overall experience did not meet expectations for the level of care being provided, especially since we were paying for the highest level of care. In speaking with long-term residents, we also heard concerns that the quality of care has declined over time.

Most of the staff, man handle their patient as they are not told they the patient is there even through the hospital updates them. The reason we went here is because they stated they would check my dad blood level. come to find out no one knew anything about dad having MDS. a blood condition. When my dad left the hospital, he was off narcotics but because they never answer call lights his pain level got so high they put him back on the narcotic. He needs PT but he was so doped up all he wanted to do was sleep and that delayed his recovery. The nursing and aids let call lights go off for over an hour. I was there with my dad and watched as 3 rooms call lights stayed on for over 45 minutes and no one came, I looked out his room and they were at nursing station. I watched them look at call lights but not answer them. I finally went out there and complained. My father laid in his bowel movement for almost an hour before they came to clean him up. There are a couple of good employees. This place needs more staff as it is very clear they are shorthanded. I had to ask about hygiene for the patient as my dad was there 5 days before they showered him, and they only did it because questioned why they have not showered him. I got his teeth brushed not them. the food is disgusting looking no flavor. We had a meeting with the head nurse, director of nursing, plus more and they lied at the meeting but luckily, we were writing down everything we saw, or dad told us about and we were able to call them out. The day I dad was transferred out to a better place his ride was not coming till around 11am. they got dad up and dressed at 7am for no reason but to be mean. Then there was a problem with his ride, and they told my stepmom if something happens to dad it not their responsibility and he's on his own. What kind of place says that.???? NEVER let your family go here!!!! I don't want to even give this place 1 star
