    Lonnie, although I new you for a brief time, I feel blessed having known you. Activities weren't the same without you joining in. Our walks and sitting on our deck to enjoy the other residents were priceless. I learned so much about you in that short time. My heart shattered when I heard you left us. Thank you, Lonnie for your kindness, laughs and allowing me to get to know you. I will never forget you! Bonnie, we will miss your visits. Love always, Donna Allain-Dendor Life Enrichment Director The Koselig House

    Lonnie, Ronnie and his parents made our move to Waunakee many years ago very pleasant. Lonnie was a student at Wsunakee when I started teaching there in 1974. He was always so helpful and had a smile every time our paths crossed. Sorry to hear of his passing.

what our families say

Tiffany Foster went out of her way to fulfill all my requests, talked me through problems I was facing, and tried to make me feel as comfortable as possible when I was a wreck, totally crushed, and I thank her with all of my heart for that.

James S. | July 2020

The professional manner of the staff made a difficult time a little easier.

Lynda R. | July 2020

Services provided for both parents were perfect, on time, and no issues. Brenda is awesome and strong!

Michael M. | July 2020

Skyler was absolutely amazing. She was so caring and helpful through this whole process. She even went above and beyond to meet with us in DeForest and even to make a stop at our home to drop off or pick up anything needed. While it was a small gesture, it was so helpful and greatly appreciated.
