Parkside

Parkside, part of Brotoloc HCS Inc-Parkside House, sits at 258 N Beulah St in Ellsworth, WI, and is a medium-sized adult residential care home with space for eight residents in private bedrooms, some with kitchenettes, so the place feels homelike but still has help when it's needed. The staff supports people with memory care for dementia and Alzheimer's, and they manage assisted living for older folks or those who can't live alone, like people with physical disabilities, mental illness, developmental disabilities, brain injuries, terminal illness, or alcohol and drug dependency, but don't require full nursing care like a nursing home would give. Parkside offers help with daily needs like dressing, bathing, transfers, using the bathroom, and getting around, and you can get aid inside and outside the shower, from grooming to medication management, plus staff stay awake all night for extra safety, and they're trained to use lifts and work with wheelchairs so people who have mobility issues get support. Residents get homemade meals three times a day, with meal plans that change for health needs like high blood pressure or diabetes if requested, so everyone eats right, and the house kitchen and dining room bring people together for meals, laundry, and dry cleaning. The place has furnished rooms, emergency alert buttons, and move-in help, and families get regular updates and encouragement to visit for special activities, so everyone stays connected. Parkside keeps clients entertained with movie nights, board games, music programs, art and craft activities, fitness and wellness schedules, book rooms, and sometimes even pet therapy or music treatment, and residents have a garden, yard, and walking paths, along with transportation for errands, doctor visits, religious services, or community events, plus there's a spot for parking. Amenities change from time to time but may include a sauna, jacuzzi, fitness area, stylist, and common spaces for games or relaxing, and a traveling hairdresser visits for cuts and styling. People needing moderate to high-level supervision, such as help with medications, insulin injections, or two-person transfers, are supported, and Parkside is fully handicap accessible, with meal prep, 24-hour awake staff, and supervision for safety. Payment happens privately through self-pay, cash, or check, and families can use a score system to compare care quality and check out the services matched to specific care needs, so folks get what fits them best in a smaller, supportive environment.
