I was so looking forward to their services for my husband who has dementia. A sales member came…read moreover to our home to assess our needs. It was decided that a male caretaker would be best for my spouse due to bathing and communicating needs for 2 to 3 days per week for 4 hours each time. Also, a house cleaner would be sent every 3 weeks for 3 to 4 hours. A few days later, an Agrace staffer called and said there was really no way they could send a male caretaker as they had very, very few of them available. The woman caretaker was very nice even though she had never assisted anyone with dementia. She was competent and able to get my spouse to bathe 4 times out of the 6 times she visited. Regarding the house cleaner, they were never able to find someone to clean my home, as they had promised. Finally, I got a call from them on a Monday evening at 6 pm to inform me that there was no one available for the next day's shift from 10 am - 2 pm. They then sent me a bill for $131 for the Tuesday they never showed up. I called but was informed that they told me a staff member would come on Tuesday and I was responsible for the cancellation so I had to pay. This was so untrue. Please be careful using them -- the initial person who comes over will promise you the moon even though he/she knows they cannot possibly meet your needs. Also, to charge me $131 for an appointment never kept by them, and based on a phone call they made to me, is really reprehensible.

McFarland Villa Assisted Living was our hidden gem. We needed a place for our 91 year-old father to…read morelive at that we felt would be a good fit for him. We looked for something that had a cozy home feel, great quality staff that really cared about their residents, and ideally that wasn't going to obliterate his bank account immediately. We knew it was a lot to ask. And then I stepped into this very unassuming, hidden assisted living that was down the street from us. I had exhausted my search of finding something that was "ideal", and was ready to begrudgingly lower my hopes, and then thought I would just check this place out. I walked in, and there were residents laughing and participating in an activity with the activity director. The facility had an immediate homey feel, and I was greeted with a warm smile and hello from one of the assistants. From that moment, we felt like the Villa wrapped us in their arms and took care of not only our dad, but us. As our dad declined, I shed many tears with the staff, who cried alongside me. When hospice got involved, and was visiting daily, they continued to comment how impressed they were with this facility in particular, as they visit many facilities. When our dad started the dying process, the Villa allowed him to stay in their care, and as we held vigil for him, they came in one-by-one to say their goodbyes with tears in their eyes. We felt that he was not only cared for, but he was loved by this Villa. Everyone from the med-passers, to the kitchen staff, housekeeping, the directors, everyone; they were ALL wonderful. I will never forget their kindness, great care, very fair pricing (actually the best in Dane County, which is hard to believe), and time they gave to our whole family. I know I will forget names, so I apologize for only giving one, but please know that I carry you all in my heart, and when I see you, I will always have a hug for you. Shamika, please relay our appreciation to your amazing staff. Thx, the Arndt's

I had been…read morein a car accident a few years prior and broke my left collarbone (Which had healed completely and was fine.) Melissa did a complete evaluation and some adjustments on the first appt and at the 2nd appointment she turned her focus to my collarbones, though I never asked her to. Melissa was focusing on my collarbones, asking questions. I told her they were fine and to leave them alone. She then said that the right was not moving like the left. I told her to leave them alone. Melissa said that she could increase the movement on the right. I said, "Leave it alone." And with that Melissa pulled and my collarbone shifted. It's now years later and my collarbone hurts every day. I went back a week after the initial injury from her "adjustment" and asked her to correct what she did. She evaded the area and never worked on it or me again, Over the years I've tried to get someone to correct what she did, but nobody will touch it. So buyers beware! Melissa doesn't listen to her patients. She thinks she knows best and then won't own-up to her mistakes.
