Birch Creek

Birch Creek sits on 525 N 10th St in De Pere, Wisconsin, and fits up to 74 residents, offering 73 apartments with layouts like studios, one-bedrooms, two-bedrooms, and semi-private rooms. The place works with several payment options such as private pay, insurance, Social Security, and veterans' benefits, but there are some extra fees like buy-in, care needs, and community or respite fees. Staff give 24-hour support with trained team members for emergencies and daily help, so moving from bed to wheelchair, showering, dressing, grooming, hygiene, and medication management are part of everyday care. The community provides both assisted living and memory care services, with a special area for Alzheimer's and nursing support ranging from 12 to 16 hours, along with a 24-hour call system. They cover respite care for short stays, independent living, and even two-person transfers if needed, and meal plans can be adjusted for diabetes or high blood pressure, with three home-cooked meals a day and dietary options. The apartments come with air-conditioning, private baths, kitchenettes, furniture, Wifi, cable, telephones, and regular housekeeping and linen service, so life can feel simple and homey. Residents spend time in shared spaces like the dining room, gaming room, fitness and wellness centers, spa, small library, community rooms, or outside in the garden and courtyard, staying busy and connected. Regular activities mix things up, like music therapy, animal visits, tabletop games, movie nights, crafts, social events, trips for shopping or appointments, and even spiritual services, helping everyone make friends and enjoy the day. Transportation runs for errands and doctor visits, a mobile hairdresser and beauty salon visit, and the facility tries to keep a lively, warm atmosphere, like a small town where people know each other. Each care plan gets tailored to the person, and the community focuses on independence, safety, and comfort, with attention to detail, daily schedules, and a good selection of physical, social, and entertainment programs. The facility holds a Verified Community status with Seniorly and has been recognized for staff and cleanliness, and while it's not a perfect place, many folks end up feeling like they belong.
