    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

    Years ago a loved one was in the skilled nursing section of Capitol Lakes. I was struggling to…read morelower him into his wheelchair while a nursing assistant who was in the room did not lift a finger to help me. He slid to the floor. Another time I visited and my loved one was sitting in his wheelchair in a puddle of pee which had pooled on the floor. Another time I was berated by a staff member because she couldn't find his shoes, which were in his closet, like I told her. I also got accused of stealing food from the kitchen, which turned out to be unfounded. I tripped and fell coming out of the elevator because it wasn't level with the floor. Hopefully the place has improved.
