Country Terrace Assisted Living II - Black River Falls sits at 642 E. 3rd St., Black River Falls, Wisconsin, and is a community-based residential facility with a ranch-style layout that feels homey and comfortable, close to Castle Mount Pine Forest, a hospital, and local shopping. This place puts a lot of value on independence for seniors, but there's always support close by and staff available 24/7, including a nurse on staff and a doctor on call, with care tailored to individual needs, whether that's simple assistance or more hands-on help like medication management, bathing, dressing, or specialized memory care for residents living with dementia. The building has private one-bedroom units, some with husband and wife suites, plus semi-private options, each with their own bathroom and kitchen, and rooms come furnished or unfurnished, fitting whatever someone prefers, while common areas like a spacious living room, dining room, and arts room give people space to gather, visit, or join in a movie night or group meal.
Residents enjoy three meals a day, planned for taste and nutrition, in a dining room where you can eat together or opt for all-day dining, and if someone needs a special diet because of allergies or diabetes, the staff can handle that, too. Maintenance, housekeeping, laundry, and utilities are all covered in the base rent, which can change depending on room size or if you share a room, but the costs for added care are figured out based on each person and what support they need since some folks are more independent while others need daily guidance. There are services for assisted living, independent living, respite care, hospice, and memory care, so there's help for a wide range of needs, and folks can join in on adult day programs or get home care or even therapy like physical, occupational, or speech, with transportation and parking offered, too. The building is wheelchair accessible all around and has safety systems, emergency call buttons, and wheelchair-friendly showers, aiming to create a secure and accessible setting.
The grounds have outdoor walking paths and a patio where you might spot deer, plus a garden and a community park right nearby for some fresh air. Residents run a lot of their own clubs, so people get to know each other and stay engaged, while the community staff organizes regular events and wellness checks, and if someone wants devotional services, those happen onsite or offsite, whatever they want. The facility welcomes pets, and for folks who want to look their best, there's a salon and barber right there, and they can help with laundry, dry cleaning, and even coordinate visits from a podiatrist or dentist. With different waivers like the dementia and hospice waivers, the facility can support those with more complex medical needs and let people age in place as health needs change, and the care offered usually costs less than full-time nursing home care.
Every resident can expect help with activities of daily living if they want it, and the place always tries to find the right balance between giving folks as much freedom as possible and stepping up with care when someone needs a hand, and, through daily check-ins and a compassionate, family-like setting, the staff focuses on kindness, respect, and protecting each person's sense of dignity as they go about their life here.
