The staff and specialists tended to my father-in-law with compassion and care enabling him to return to his home after his fall. He loved the choices of food and he said it tasted good, which helped with his recovery. Eastcastle Place was a great recovery place.

I moved to Milwaukee to live near my son and found that Eastcastle Place is the perfect home for me. Moving from out of state, I found a warm and welcoming community. I have always had an active lifestyle and was pleased to learn Eastcastle Place’s comprehensive fitness program included personal training. My strength and agility have improved and helped me prevent injury and maintain my independence. I no longer drive so I appreciate the short walk to the theater, shops and a variety of restaurants. Every day is an adventure! There is always something to learn, people to meet, opportunities to volunteer and places to go. Lake Park is the perfect way to end my day.

Eastcastle Place has been our home for almost two years at this writing. And it’s been great! We (June and Wally) elected “ECP” for a variety of reasons as the place to live out our senior years but we had no way of imagining how very comfortable and happy we would be. As other reviewers point out, both staff and fellow residents are exceptionally considerate and congenial – and the food is outstanding! For us personally, a major plus has been the weekly Bible study led by Harold Appley, Eastcastle’s chaplain. And ... from sublime to ridiculous ... we look forward each week to “chair volleyball” (playing the game as usual but with one’s butt attached firmly to one’s chair; great both for exercise and especially a whole lot of laughs!). Of course there’s much more, so much more, that contributes to our well-being here but suffice to say we are tickled pink with our decision to make Eastcastle our home.
