Dearwood sits on the northeastern edge of Eau Claire, Wisconsin, right out where the farmland stretches and it's quiet, so folks can enjoy peace and some fresh country air. This place started out as a private residence, but now has four units, with one and two-bedroom choices, and residents can decorate their suites with favorite things from home. Staff, including registered nurses, stay on-site and awake all day and night to help, with support from senior caregivers and regular visits from occupational therapists and speech pathologists, so people have help right where they live. Dearwood offers care for folks who need assistance with colostomy and catheter care or insulin injections, and hospice care is available if ever needed. Alzheimer's and memory care get special attention. Programs and activities are planned based on what residents like, with a social program to encourage friendships, and there are daily and weekly activities in the activity center, sunroom, or spacious courtyard, as well as outings with complimentary transportation to local spots around Eau Claire, like Tower Ridge Recreation Area or Lake Altoona Park.
Dearwood covers housekeeping, laundry, meal plans, and linen service, with nutritious food served daily, and there's personal care help, medication management, and health monitoring for folks as they age and their needs change, plus flexible services for both independent and assisted living. Amenities include on-site dining, a private dining room for gatherings, a beauty salon and barber shop, a library with computer lab, fitness and wellness programs, and an exercise facility. Residents get weekly housekeeping, parking spaces, and transportation for medical appointments. The facility offers a medical clinic on-site too. Dearwood also focuses on respectful and dignified care, with programs set up to help folks stay as independent as possible while offering support when it's needed, and folks find a sense of family and belonging here, with a simple, homelike setup and caregivers who know how to help older adults make the best of their days. Dearwood comes under the Care Partners country terrace network and is run by Dearwood LLC, serving folks aged 55 and older, helping them transition smoothly as needs change, whether they want independent or assisted living, or residential care in an adult family home atmosphere.
