Girlie's Manor sits in a quiet residential part of Cross Plains, Wisconsin, set up as a licensed community-based residential facility that accepts some pets and runs day and night, so the doors are always open, and people are around. The place keeps things feeling small and homey, having boarding-and-care homes that look and feel like regular houses with just a handful of residents in each one, and staff give care and support every day. They offer a range of living arrangements, from independent living for folks who like to handle things themselves-with studio apartments, single rooms, cooking club, resort-style amenities, music group, and outdoor patios-to more hands-on help and finally memory care for people with Alzheimer's or dementia in a secure, home-like area where there are always aides or staff present.
There's always something going on, with game nights and arts and crafts in the activity room, a recreation room with TVs, common social spaces, and plenty of shared meals. Independent seniors get the option for extra support if wanted, while people who need it get help with daily life, medication reminders or administration, personal care, and even in-house skilled nursing if medical care's required around the clock, like rehabilitation or wound care after a hospital stay. People who need memory care get specialized programs, memory-strengthening activities, and support 24/7 in secure wings, so families know they're safe, and everyone can enjoy the gardens, patios, and cable-wired rooms with free WiFi if they like to use it.
Staff encourage people to stay as independent as possible. Residents pay an all-inclusive rate and, for new folks moving in, there's an entry fee to cover things. Girlie's Manor takes checks and provides on-site parking for both residents and visitors. They even offer respite care for short stays if needed. The facility uses personal aides throughout and has both studio and single room units available, so folks can pick what suits them best. Amenities and activity details show up online, and people can keep in touch through their Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, or Twitter pages. The focus always stays on offering a safe, secure spot where older adults can have the care they need, whichever care level fits at the time, while spending their days in a peaceful local setting where help's always close by if something comes up, and people can take part in the things they like doing, no matter their health needs.
