Whispering Willows, Inc

Whispering Willows, Inc. sits out in the countryside near Elkhorn, right on a small farmette where you can see miniature goats, a horse, chickens, and plenty of kittens, and the place has a nice, natural feel because it's smaller than most, so folks living here don't get lost in the shuffle. The Board and Care Home license from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services Division of Quality Assurance lets them take adults 55 and over who want assisted living or have memory care needs, including services for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and they're set up to give different kinds of care like help with bathing, dressing, transfers, medication management, and 24-hour supervision, with a strong focus on person-centered care, which means honoring everyone's daily choices and setting up flexible schedules to fit each person. People moving into Whispering Willows will need to pay an entry fee, but pricing here is all-inclusive, so there's no guessing about extra charges for things like meals, medication help, home-cooked snacks, or laundry, and they include housekeeping, dry cleaning, and move-in coordination, too. The private or semi-private rooms come furnished, many with their own telephones and satellite TV, and everyone gets free wireless internet, so family can stay in touch easily, and the building is set up for handicapped accessibility. Pets are welcome here, so cats and dogs can come with their owners, and residents spend time around the farm animals, which many find calming and pleasant. There are cozy fireplaces for quiet evenings, and meals are home-cooked, with snacks in between, and if someone wants church services, the staff can arrange those right at home or organize transport to local churches. The days aren't boring, either, because staff put together planned outings, entertainment, and activities, and there are walking paths, a gazebo, raised gardening beds, a large yard, and courtyard for spending time outside, plus community spaces for meals and social time. The care team organizes support for active and social living, with services in English and some language support for caregivers, and a special community score rating system helps families see how well care matches up. On top of all this, in-home health services come right to residents-including physicians, dentists, optometry, occupational therapy, and physical therapy, so residents can get what they need without heading out. Everything is designed to feel home-like, supporting people to stay comfortable, safe, and part of a small, close community.
