Peabody Manor sits on a quiet, wooded campus at 2500 S. Heritage Woods Dr. in Appleton, WI, and shares ties with Heritage and Heritage Woods, which you'll often hear mentioned in connection with this place, and that's probably because Thedacare operates the community and keeps things running smoothly all the time, offering skilled nursing care with 58 beds for people who need that extra support, but also providing assisted living, independent living options, and memory care services so there's usually something for most needs. The people living here have help around the clock from staff for things like moving from bed to wheelchair, taking medicine, checking and managing diabetes, and help with laundry or dry cleaning, and the team can step in when more specialized care is needed, like physical or occupational therapy, or speech therapy, and even pain management, so you get a sense they've put thought into the care side of things.
There are studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, depending on what works best, and common spaces inside let people talk and relax, with a game and activities room, a library, a convenience store, and a swimming pool all set up for everyday enjoyment or just peaceful afternoons. Safety features are there too, like emergency call systems, private bathrooms, and sprinklers, helping put minds at ease when folks move in. If you look at the food, meals are included, so nobody's scrambling for lunch or dinner or snacks, and if family or guests drop by, there's support for them too, from family outreach and guest meals to transportation help for getting around town for a while.
Activities at Peabody Manor often fill the days; there's bingo, arts and crafts, TV and movie nights, exercise groups, spiritual or religious gatherings, and trips off-site for a change of pace, and you see a lot of opportunities for people to stay as active or involved as they like. Sara Wesoloski steps in as the Quality Specialist in Ambulatory Care/Post-Acute, and Toni Lang, the Executive Secretary, helps on the leadership side of things, which suggests the place tries to stay organized and responsive, and because they support a network of organizations focused on aging and offer education programs and meetings both in-person and online, there's a sense of being connected well beyond just the campus. Residents tend to talk about feeling at home and content with the community, and you'll find that the space feels cozy and welcoming, especially when people gather indoors or sit outside with the grounds all neat and quiet. The staff respond to emergencies around the clock, help with health needs like diabetes or incontinence care, and provide personal help for daily routines as needed, and with all the support and the peaceful setting, people living here often say their needs are heard and met.
