AZURA MEMORY CARE OF OCONOMOWOC

I just want to say I work in healthcare and do memory care nI have also worked in several facilities. Until my friend Roxanna out her Husband Patrick at Azura I have never been there. Every time I go there I am amazed at how well the residents are taken care of. The staff are absolutely wonderful from the minute you walk in the door right up to the time you leave. It's Very clean ,well maintained and the decor is absolutely stunning. Today I witnessed something that made my heart so happy and I couldn't believe they did this. They call it a Dream come true. Roxanna is having a birthday on a few days and her wish was that she would be able to have her and Pats Friday nite date night,have a couple of drinks,fine wine and music knowing Patrick would never be able to do this again Well,today the staff surprised her with a birthday dinner and date night. They bought new clothes for Pat,a bracelet for Roxanna and had fine wine and Dinner for the 2 of them. They had some classical music playing and it was so incredibly nice. They made Roxanna's Dream come true. Healthcare workers work very hard and a lot of time aren't given the recognition they deserve. Azura thank you for making this such a wonderful Birthday for my sweet friends. Special thank you to Taylor, Mikayla and Grace. You guys are truly wonderful human beings. May God continue let others wishes come true at Azura.❤️

Taylor and staff- I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking care of my Grandma, Joanne. I’m going to miss my weekly routine of being at Azura with my Grandma and saying Hi to other residents and staff. Azura is truly a one of kind facility! Please don’t forget to reach out to me with volunteer opportunities, I filled out all the paperwork back in March but haven’t received a call yet. I’d love to donate my time to Azura, the place that cared for my grandma until her last breath.

This is a long time over due. Both my parents called Azura care at Oconomowoc “Home”. The staff was always attentive to mom and dad, and me when I had questions or concerns. They were kind. Compassionate. Everyone from Chris at the front desk to the amazing aide Taylor who stopped in to say hi or give a quick hug to Kellyn the resident nurse who was always on top of changes with mom and dads medical needs to the house manager Taylor and I can’t forget Fred the buildings manager. There are so many more amazing people to say thanks to - activities coordinator and the food staff!!! Amazing!! The nearly two years mom and dad made this place their home - was our place to gather every Thursday night for Family dinner in the Great room. We would bring in pizza or subs and all get together with Mom and dad. After mom passed, it was dinners with dad at Azura. Every Thursday night. The staff really got to know the rest of the extended family too. I remember House manager Taylor telling me a funny story of Dad walking into her office and offering to help her work. She pulled up a chair for him and he began drawing plans for a garden. I was always impressed of the kindness I saw from everyone. They had the patience to repeat what ever mom and dad needed to make them feel at ease when things got scary. When your memory is going, it must be scary. The people here showed compassion, patience and grace. The dignity my parents had was always held high among the staff. It was so assuring to me to see this. After all, my brother and I tried to care for our parents as long as we could. It was a hard day to make that decision. Azura of Oconomowoc was there for us and any questions we had. I am forever grateful for the roll they played in our families lives helping with mom and dad. 💕

My sister lives at Azura and she tells me every time I visit, “this is such a nice place”. The first time I walked in it felt warm, comfortable, and inviting. There is always ample staff, and they are kind and caring to my sister as well as being friendly with me. I eat there often (free to guests), and it is always a nice meal. I enjoy visiting my sister there, partly because it is such a pleasant place to be!

My Mom was at Azura Memory Care for a little over 2 years. She had Parkinson’s Disease, and because of her disease progression, continued living with me was difficult. I checked out a lot of residential care based facilities with Mom before deciding on Azura Memory Care Oconomowoc. It was one of the most important and scary decisions to make--my Mom trusting me to find a place for her to live--a place that would be a comfortable and happy home for the last years of her life. Azura Memory Care was the right choice. Mom had a beautiful apartment that was comfortable and met all her needs. The caregivers at Azura always took care of Mom. I visited my Mom 4-5 days out of 7, and on the days I couldn’t be there, I always knew she was being taken care of. She was always bathed and kept clean, her clothes and bedsheets laundered, the common areas were always well taken care of and decorated for the seasons, and the meals were very good. The activities coordinator had games for the residents, and outside entertainment was brought in. There was also a beautiful backyard with walking paths, benches, and activities planned for outside during summer months. My Mom and I were very happy with our choice of Azura Memory Care. -Liz Riedel
