Review

Eastcastle Place is a senior living facility in Milwaukee that offers a range of services and amenities for its residents. Some reviewers had positive experiences, praising the friendly staff and excellent care provided to their loved ones. One reviewer, who is a nurse, commended the therapists, nurses, aides, kitchen staff, and housekeeping staff for their compassionate and professional care. They also mentioned how the administrative staff helped make their father's transition to assisted living seamless.

Unfortunately, not all reviewers had positive things to say about Eastcastle Place. One reviewer expressed disappointment with the care their husband received during his rehabilitation stay. They mentioned issues such as cold food, lack of assistance with changing clothes and going to the bathroom, delayed administration of medication, and improper lifting leading to injury. They also noted that their husband only received two showers during his three-week stay. The reviewer felt that the facility was understaffed and that the aides needed more training.

On a more positive note, another reviewer had a good experience when their mother was placed in hospice care on the fourth floor of Eastcastle Place. They found the floor clean and quiet and praised the attentive and compassionate staff. The reviewer appreciated that any issues were quickly addressed by the team. They also mentioned that the room was suitable for their mother's needs and that she received good food and treats regularly.

Another reviewer described Eastcastle Place as well-staffed, clean, and engaging for residents throughout the day. They appreciated how friendly and professional the staff members were.

Another positive review highlighted the layout of Eastcastle's apartments as safe for those with mobility challenges. Although residents are not allowed to shower independently due to falling hazards, they receive assistance from trained staff members to ensure their hygiene needs are met. The reviewer also noted that the food smelled good and commended the facility's engaging activities, such as word games and bingo.

One reviewer shared their positive experience with Eastcastle Place during their father's rehab stay. They praised the entire staff for taking excellent care of their mother, noting that everyone went above and beyond to ensure her needs were met. The reviewer had no issues with communication and felt that their mother was happy and well-cared for.

While there were some negative reviews mentioning issues with communication, wrong names on discharge papers, and hopes for improvement in the future, overall, the reviews indicate that Eastcastle Place is a well-regarded senior living facility in Milwaukee.
