Harrison Home

Harrison Home sits over in Cedarburg, Wisconsin, right in a quiet spot where folks can get a little help when they need it, but still keep as much independence as possible, and they do things like personal care plans for every person who moves in because everyone's needs look a little different, so while some need help with their medicines or support getting into and out of the bath, others get help with clothing or grooming, and there's always staff around to back people up, even with tougher things like two-person transfers or insulin shots, and if anybody needs someone to help get to doctor's appointments, or maybe to church or the grocery store, they can get that, too. Some folks there get respite care or hospice care, and others need support with memory loss or dementia, so there are Alzheimer's Association-trained staff who know how to help, and there's a nurse checking in on health so things get caught before they're a bigger problem, and a mobile hairdresser comes around for those who like to keep looking sharp, and you've got both private and semi-private rooms with their own bathrooms and specially equipped bathing setups, plus call buttons in case anybody needs something right away. The place has a home-like feel, with big spaces for living, family, and eating together, and meals are cooked in the kitchen right there, so they're always hot and fresh, and if the weather's nice, there's a big wrap-around porch, covered decks, and a fenced backyard for people to enjoy the sunshine or just get some quiet. Residents have a good number of activities to pick from, including crafts, music, movies, games, outings, exercise programs, and sometimes animal therapy, with activities staff keeping things going, and if someone's into more peaceful moments, there's space for reading or getting your nails done, and a community feel about the place. Transportation both in and out of the facility is there for outings or medical needs, and the amenities can include a barber or parlor, recreation rooms, even spaces like a steam room or spa, depending on what's available. Spiritual support is part of the picture, as are special menus for folks with different diets, and wheelchairs or stand-by help can be arranged so everyone stays safe moving around. Harrison Home is family-owned and operated, and keeps a smaller size, so residents get more direct attention and a familiar setting, and the staff there aim for patience and dignity in everything they do, keeping those doors open for visits so friends and family are always welcome to stop by.
