Hurlburts Haven

Hurlburts Haven sits at 1215 E Prospect St in Durand, Wisconsin, where up to 10 seniors can get help with living in a way that lets them feel comfortable and cared for, and while it's a fairly small place, it has a real set of useful rooms like communal dining areas, gaming and movie rooms, fitness spaces, and outdoor garden spots for sitting or walking, so folks can get out and about or stay put as suits them. The staff provides help 24/7 and works with each person to make a care plan that fits what they need, whether it's just some help with dressing, bathing, laundry, meals, and getting around, or more supervision and skilled care, especially for people with memory troubles like Alzheimer's or Parkinson's, and a licensed nurse stays on site to help with health concerns and monthly doctor visits take place at the facility to check in on residents' well-being. Memory care is a big part of life here, and the people working at Hurlburts Haven have special training to support folks with dementia, offering therapies and brain exercises to reduce things like confusion, agitation, or forgetfulness, while the home itself uses secure setups to stop people from wandering off and has routines and programming that can help with mental wellness, plus memory care residents get their own floor plan options and rooms are designed with safety and simple use in mind. Meals get made fresh, and if someone needs a special diet, say for diabetes, they can handle it, and caregivers even help with eating or mealtime tasks if someone can't manage alone, and all rooms come furnished, with cable TV, Wi-Fi, and phone service, so folks can feel a bit more at home. The community allows seniors to bring pets with management's permission, so pet owners don't have to say goodbye to a companion, which makes life a little better for some residents who like to have a dog or cat with them. Laundry and housekeeping happen regularly, and staff looks after medicine, schedules, and daily needs, handling moves or new arrivals and making sure people don't miss a thing when transferring in. There's also Adult Day Services and respite care on offer, so people who care for older family members can get a rest or seniors come for daytime activities, supervised care, or brain-stimulating programs and social time, and they even provide help for people with disabilities who could use more structure in their day-to-day life. Hurlburts Haven is set up for both singles and couples, with everything from small studio apartments to one-bedroom units and shared living arrangements, and while it only has 10 units, the tight community means it's not too hard for staff to know who needs what, and to offer personal attention each day. Folks have access to scheduled picnics, entertainment events, recreation and education activities, private dining if needed, chapel services, gardens, beauty salons, and help with transportation if the need to get out arises, plus an on-site dietitian for tough dietary questions. Residents' safety is always a focus, with emergency alert systems in every room, and supervision sticks around all the time, day or night, for those who might need support. Whether someone is looking for long-term assisted living, board and care, memory care, or just a break for the main caregiver, Hurlburts Haven works to keep daily life steady and friendships easy to find, so older adults don't have to feel alone and can hold onto their independence as much as possible.
