Preferred Senior Living of Ellsworth sits in Ellsworth, WI, near the golf course, and has 43 assisted living units with studio and private one-bedroom apartments, some with semi-private options, and all of them let residents keep their independence while having help close by. The community offers both assisted living and specialized Alzheimer's memory care, so those with dementia get a secured environment and custom care that supports their unique needs, and there are engagement activities planned each day to help with memory and comfort. Residents can get help with things like bathing, dressing, medication management, incontinence care, moving around, and transferring, and there's support for both those who can walk and those who need wheelchairs or extra movement help, because the place is set up to be easy to get around in, even for folks who don't walk.
Staff are around 24/7, always ready to help or answer emergency calls, and the whole community is equipped with in-room and throughout-the-building emergency alert systems, so residents and their families can feel reassured someone's looking out for them at all times. The building has high-definition TVs, telephones, internet, and computer access in the rooms, and a lot of relaxing spots both inside and out, like the beautifully decorated lobby, theater room, library, snack shop, community and games room, private dining room, community-sponsored activity rooms, a barber/salon, and an arts and crafts space. There's a garden, landscaped courtyards, and walking paths for those who like the outside, so people can spend time in the sun without going far from the building, and a valet service helps folks who have appointments or want a ride somewhere.
Meals are served restaurant-style, with all-day dining options and meals prepared by chefs who can handle special dietary needs, whether it's for allergies, diabetes, or personal preferences, and there's always a snack available for folks who get hungry between meals, while staff take care of meal preparation, laundry, housekeeping, and even dry cleaning, so chores don't get in the way of enjoying the day. For health care, an on-site pharmacy, home health services, falls management, rehabilitation services, dressing assistance, and personalized plans give each resident the care they really need, no matter how much or little support is wanted, and caregivers are trained to help with memory loss, mild cognitive trouble, and daily life tasks.
Residents stay busy with activities like arts and crafts, games, movie nights in the theater, devotional gatherings, movement classes, and community or resident-run events that help everyone get to know each other, so there's always a bit of life going on in the common areas, and a lot of stories from people who have lived long lives. A move-in coordinator helps new residents settle in, and respite care is available for short-term needs, whether someone's recovering or just wants to try the place out. Everything's meant to feel comfortable, clean, and inviting, with nicely decorated interiors that give a kind, small-town feeling, where residents, staff, and visitors can feel like they belong. Tours are available for those who want to see things in person before making any decisions.
