These homes, including Walnut Adult Family Home, offer care for older adults who need help with daily things like getting dressed, bathing, or taking medicine, and they keep staff around at all times to help out, using a 24-hour call system and awake overnight staff in some programs, and if someone needs to get to the doctor or run an errand, transportation can be arranged. Safety features like sprinkler systems are present in some of the programs, and these homes try to be easy to get around if you use a wheelchair or walker, keeping things handicap-accessible. Residents usually get their own private rooms, sometimes a shared room if that's what fits, with two separate living rooms and two bathrooms in certain places, plus kitchenettes and bathrooms in the rooms, and air conditioning to keep the space comfortable, and they don't have to worry about cooking since freshly prepared meals use organic food when they can, and housekeeping and linen services keep the rooms clean. People living here can watch cable TV, use the internet, and have telephone service, so they can stay connected, and staff help with taking medicine, washing up, and anything else folks might need, making sure care is licensed and fairly priced, with an average monthly cost at around $3,465 for care at these types of places. Activities and outings pop up regularly, and people don't need to bother with home repairs or cleaning, since the staff do all that for them, and staff can provide daily help and structure, including double staff during the day for more support and awake staff through the night, and these homes can support people with physical disabilities, developmental disabilities, or even emotional disturbance, keeping life safe but also somewhat independent. Even though specific details about Walnut Adult Family Home itself weren't available in what was provided, this group of homes together makes up the assisted living care options for Fort Atkinson, all with the goal to give folks some peace of mind and daily help as they age.
