Review

Skaalen Retirement Services Inc. has received rave reviews from multiple family members whose loved ones are currently residing there. The caregivers have been described as wonderful, providing exceptional care and ensuring that each resident has the best experience possible. The staff is helpful, attentive, and genuinely concerned about the well-being of the residents.

The facility itself is well-maintained and clean, with nice room setups that offer a comfortable living environment. Outside, there is a large covered area with benches where residents can enjoy the beautiful landscaping filled with various flowers. This shaded pavilion provides a pleasant space for outdoor activities and relaxation. There is also a smaller covered area furnished with a sofa and chairs for more intimate gatherings.

One family member praises the excellent care their mother has received while at Skaalen for rehab. The staff has been consistently kind and caring towards her, creating a positive environment during her stay. The food served at Skaalen also receives high praise as it surpasses hospital food in terms of taste and quality.

Activities are offered throughout the day to engage the residents, although some limitations have been imposed due to the pandemic. However, there is still an effort to provide morning and afternoon activities daily to encourage participation from all residents. The crafts room, unfortunately, remains closed temporarily due to COVID-19 restrictions.

The comprehensive services provided by Skaalen Retirement Services Inc. are highly regarded by family members who appreciate the ability to transition between different levels of care easily. From independent living homes to assisted living and nursing care facilities, this continuity allows residents to receive appropriate care as their needs change over time.

Another individual commends Skaalen Center for having excellent staff members who work diligently with patients. One particular staff member named Micheal Hecht stands out for his commitment to providing engaging weekly programs.

Skaalen Ridge offers various levels of care as well, including independent living apartments with nursing support provided monthly. Residents have access to an array of activities such as music, bingo, arts and crafts, and clubs. The staff is attentive to the residents' concerns and the overall experience has been positive. However, the food could benefit from an increased focus on fresh vegetables and fruits.

The facilities at Skaalen Retirement Services Inc. are well-maintained, embodying a spirited atmosphere with daily activities for residents to enjoy. Amenities include exercise rooms, communal spaces for socializing and watching television, planned activities, and beautifully landscaped grounds. Additionally, religious services are conveniently held in an on-site chapel.

One individual who initially had reservations about nursing homes found their opinion changed after visiting Skaalen Nursing Home. They made friends with both residents and staff members while experiencing the caring environment firsthand. The cleanliness, friendliness, and proximity to the attached hospital made it an appealing choice for retirement living.

Lastly, another family member notes that their parents received exceptional care during their rehab at Skaalen following a broken hip. The facility's caring and respectful staff went above and beyond to ensure the residents' comfort. The rehab unit is newer and offers spacious rooms while maintaining a homey atmosphere decorated with Norwegian rosemaling in honor of Stoughton's Norwegian community.

Overall, Skaalen Retirement Services Inc. is highly regarded by family members who appreciate the attentive staff members, clean facilities, engaging activities, and comprehensive range of care options available to residents.
