Just Like Home IV in Elkhorn, WI, has 20 senior care units and provides assisted living, nursing home care, and memory care. The facility accepts adults starting at age 21 and helps those who need daily support, including residents mostly confined to bed and those living with Alzheimer's or dementia. Some rooms are private; they also have shared apartments and a semi-private memory care section in a separate building that keeps residents safe with alarm bracelets and secured doors so folks don't wander off. Nursing care runs 24 hours a day from Certified Nursing Assistants and skilled nurses, and the staff can help with eating, dressing, bathroom needs, and moving from bed to wheelchair with things like mechanical lifts for one-person or two-person assisted transfers.
Meals get provided every day along with snacks in between, and if someone's on a restricted diet like needing insulin injections, the team's ready to help. There's hospice and respite care for those needing special attention at the end of life or just a short stay. Residents who can't get around easily can get help, including with incontinence, and everyone gets a tailored care plan with regular doctor visits and medication help.
Common areas inside and out encourage folks to be social, with a big lounge, a games room, an exercise room, and a theater, and there are gardens and balconies for fresh air, plus amenities like laundry and home maintenance so residents don't have to worry about chores. The staff keeps a close watch and is always awake through the night, making sure everyone stays safe, and if someone wants to go out, there's free transportation and parking. Activities happen on-site and offsite, covering games like bingo, cards, exercise, and devotional services for those who want spiritual support, and the community welcomes people to make their rooms feel like home with their own belongings.
The building is one level and fully fenced for safety, and outdoor smoking is allowed in designated spots. Fall prevention measures are in place, and the community maintains a high staff-to-resident ratio to give personal care.
