Haven't seen care available. Several side options do not make up for a seemingly premade entre. If you do not eat by 5:15 ish the entre is out & you get sandwiches. Uncertain on this, my "parents" have only partaken in 1 cocktail hour thus far. Neither are crafters. Their schedules with Drs & Home Health have been controlling if their time. They thought some care assistance was provided by Talamore. Doesn't seem to be the case. There were repeated issues with maintenance prior to actually moving in. Communication seems to be an issue or "in-charge" rely too much on housekeeping & maintenance to resolve concerns. They still have not gotten their thermostat regulated. It's 77 or warmer all the time so the patio door is cracked open. I'm listed on the files there but had to ask how I was to gain entrance after 4pm. My key fob was never given to me. I had been in & out of that bldg 2-3 times per week for 5 weeks before this was resolved. Sales apparently do not follow up.

With the quality of care - Disappointed that mom went into hospital shortly after moving into Talamore. Medical staff at UW hospital found her to be dehydrated. Another trip to hospital resulted from Talamore staff giving her two (one because deemed mom didn't take properly) nitroglycerine tablets. Med staff at UW hospital deemed that may have done more harm than good. She hasn't taken a nitro in over a decade and we have since removed that med from her list with concurrence and advice from UW health. Hind sight (20-20), I would place a high value on a place that staffed a RN (on-site) 24-7, which Talamore does not. Positive side: I feel certain overnight staff (aids) have done an exceptional job easing mom's anxiety and fears the first few nights. Disappointed that no value placed on keeping HFCS out of residents' diet. Example: pop is the default beverage for residents at lunch and dinner (my mom gets MILK, at our request and many reminders). Another example: syrup used for pancakes and waffles has HFCS as key ingredient. Also disappointed that Soup of the Day is not a planned soup made with fresh ingredients, which can then be known ahead of time so I know if my mom will eat it- but is instead a make something with leftovers from previous day- so soup for that day is not known until morning of that day. (When I select meals for my mom, I select a week's worth of meals on Sunday for next Mon-Sat.) Even if I select meals one day at a time, I have to turn in selections by 6:00 pm the night before, so I don't select soup because I have no idea what it will be. Disappointing because my mom would eat a good basic soup, besides the fact that it would further aid in hydration. Finally, it's a bummer that they don't give memory care residents a knife to cut their food. They get a fork and spoon, and are expected to eat a big piece of meat with those utensils. My mom knows how to use a knife and is no danger...so don't understand this. I don't believe it's a state requirement? Great director and Assistant Director of activities! Love it that assistant activities director also is staffed every other Sunday! He does a great job of rounding up residents for "moving and grooving, coming around to their rooms to cheerfully invite them out! [name removed] is amazing! [name removed] also great, and love that she brings her dog, [name removed], to work sometimes! The ratio of 9:1 residents, is tight, considering all they are tasked with, and that the secured MC area includes a number of enhanced care residents requiring two-person assists. Final comment: Overall, Talamore is meeting, but not exceeding, my expectations. I would not move her because the location is the best for all of us in the family that visit her. Wish dining were better and wish there were RN/oversight provided 24-7. I have given the above feedback also to Talamore and the local management appear to respond where they can. Some of the dining issues are also out of their control because of the third party they use, Unidine, which limits what they can order (e.g. maple syrup choices).

My father is a resident at Talamore Sun Prairie and we've thought that everything has been top notch. When my daughter and I first walked in to check out Talamore, we were immediately greeted at the door and offered a tour. The staff seemed genuinely welcoming and the residents wore smiles on their faces and seemed happy to be there. I was worried that a place as nice as Talamore might be unaffordable, but was pleasantly surprised that not only could my father afford it, but he could afford an upgrade. Finding this to be a viable option for my father to move closer, we brought him for a visit. We put down a deposit that day. Since he's moved in, both my father and I have been pleased with his experience there. The move-in was smooth and my father has settled in. My father is a social person and regularly partakes in their many activities. I couldn't be happier than when he tells me about some activity that he participated in and how much fun he had. I also get regular updates on the dinners he has and how good they were.

Talamore is an awesome fit for our mom. The staff is spectacular. They are caring, open to communication and go the extra mile. We're very happy our mom is being cared for by such a fine group of individuals!

I toured this facility and it was nice. Brand new and very modern. It just seemed too large for my loved one. It's a pretty long walk to the dining area. But again, a nice place.
It's been a really great situation for my mom. The activities directors and the activities they facilitate are great. Their marketing person has been great. The staff are attentive if something needs to be done. My mom is very happy there. But I think there are some things that aren't set up well for an assisted living facility. If you go into the apartments, the cupboards are way to high in the kitchen. The toilet is too low for older people. There is also a public restroom on the first floor near the dining area that I've asked for them to put in handicap assisted buttons to open/close the doors because I've witnessed multiple residents have a hard time getting in/out with their walkers/wheelchairs. The executive director misunderstood my request and has not gotten back to me after I clarified that I meant only that one bathroom, not all doors in the building.

Moved to Talamore [date removed]. Not very happy at first. Several experiences made me doubt efficiency of management. New manager- great improvement. [name removed] activities director- wonderful. I feel that things just get better and better. Staff is very warm, friendly, and helpful. Now I am content and I would not consider living anywhere else.

The place itself is very beautiful and wonderful. Nurses and all staff that take care of my loved one and wonderful at getting info back to us. Activities program is absolutely wonderful, the director has a great program and keeps everyone very active. Only complaint is the food, have had many issues with getting incorrect meals or wrong thing ordered. Having a big turnover in kitchen staff, sometimes it is good but more than often it has not been great.
We moved our mom in back in Feb 2022 and we have been very pleased with everything. The staff is kind and friendly. They are attentive and always willing to help. Amazing management team! They are easy to work with and always willing to answer questions and help resolve any issues that arise. We highly recommend this community.

Talamore Senior Living was not the experience we were hoping for, they were not able to meet the expectations we had. The facility is absolutely beautiful and there is good potential there but they fell short. If your loved one needs very minimal assistance this would be the place for them, but anything more then minimal the care lacks.
