Artisan Senior Living Baraboo sits at 1114 Silver Drive in Baraboo, Wisconsin, and has several buildings, including both Jefferson Pines Building 1 and Building 2, so you'll find different areas that serve various needs, some named just for that, which helps folks and their families know where to go and what goes on where. This senior living community accepts residents aged 55 and older and lets both men and women move in, with designated areas for female-only residents as well. The community offers assisted living and memory care, meaning someone who wants to stay independent but needs support with things like bathing, dressing, medication, meals, or transfers can get help, while folks dealing with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia can have a special space and professional caregivers. They're licensed by the state and help residents stick around as their needs increase, since aging in place is possible here.
You'll see private suites with wheelchair-accessible showers for privacy and comfort, along with safety features like a no smoking rule indoors and an emergency call system with nurses on call and staff who always stay awake at night. Onsite nurses, as well as visiting nurses, help with health monitoring, medication, diabetes care, blood sugar checks, incontinence care, and they can even give insulin injections. They also offer physical, occupational, and speech therapy, dentistry, and podiatry. For people who need hospice or respite care, those services are available too, and the place provides homecare for residents needing extra hands or temporary care when caregivers need a break.
Meal service means three home cooked meals every day with options for kosher or vegetarian diets and snacks offered between meals, which is nice for folks who get hungry at odd hours. Residents have laundry and cleaning services, and someone helps them schedule medical appointments if needed. The community welcomes cats and dogs, and with a pet-friendly policy, animals are allowed. Residents can take part in exercise in the fitness center or walk in the outdoor or indoor common areas, and there's an enclosed courtyard for safe time outside.
For activities, the staff runs things all week with a mix of social, educational, and entertainment programs, plus the Resident Art Program and technology classes, games, arts and crafts, and field trips outside the facility, which everyone seems to look forward to. There are onsite devotional services, and the team arranges for offsite services for those who prefer leaving. A beauty and barber shop stands ready for haircuts or freshening up, and residents often use these services before an outing or event.
For people with dementia, the memory care program brings safe housing, special therapies, and an environment designed to cut down on confusion or wandering, and rooms in this part cost about $3,100 per month for a studio. They adapt activities for residents' needs, aiming to keep minds active and folks engaged throughout the day. Staff are known to be helpful and kind, working to make everyone feel welcome, and the community's earned awards for resident activities and overall quality.
Transportation is available for medical appointments, shopping, or just getting out in the community, and they offer both complimentary rides and parking for residents. The property is wheelchair accessible throughout, and there are safety measures in place for residents with mobility concerns, like help with lifts and transfers when needed.
The community provides a calm, friendly atmosphere run by caring staff, with emphasis on safety, honesty, and comfort for seniors at all stages of aging. They belong to the larger Mosaic Management Group family of communities and keep close connections with other places in Wisconsin, including Century Ridge, Wausau, Suamico, and Howard. Families can expect a straightforward setup with clear services, flexible levels of support, and a steady routine to support health, independence, and well-being as seniors age.
