Burr Oak Manor

Burr Oak Manor sits in Genoa City, Wisconsin, in a small, friendly home that feels calm and comfortable, and folks there can pick from private rooms, semi-private rooms, suites, or studio apartments, so whether someone needs a little help or total care, staff do their best to help everyone manage at their own pace, and meals come home-cooked with options for kosher, vegetarian, and special diets to fit each resident's needs, which really can help folks keep their independence as long as possible, and the all-inclusive monthly rate takes care of nursing, daily housekeeping and laundry, three meals, snacks, and various activities, so you don't have to worry about lots of extra bills. This community can support independent adults and folks needing more help, including those with dementia, Alzheimer's, memory loss, physical disabilities, mental illness, or brain injuries, and there's a memory care section that's secured with the Wander Guard Anti-Elopement System and monitored by PerMar Security, making sure folks with wandering risks stay safe, and the place even takes in those who might act out physically or have big changes in their behavior, since they've got staff and technology to support these kinds of needs.

Doctors, nurses, and visiting therapists-including physical, occupational, speech, psychiatric, podiatry, dental, and others-make visits right inside the manor, with a geriatric doctor on staff, psychologist visits twice a month, and RNs available to handle assessments and medication management, while staff use mechanical lifts for non-ambulatory residents and encourage light, medium, or heavy care, and the facility deals with diabetes and incontinence as long as residents can mostly help themselves. Staff are awake all day and night, and nurses stay on site with a doctor on call, so emergencies or nursing needs get attention right away, and homecare, hospice, respite care, and palliative services help people age in place, whether someone's staying for a short break or through the end of life, and there are full tubs and wheelchair-accessible showers to keep things as safe and easy as possible.

Every day, folks can join in social and recreational activities in indoor and outdoor common areas, like arts and crafts, bingo, gardening, painting, model airplanes, trivia, outings to ballgames or the theater with families, and special events like ice cream socials and luaus, while devotional and spiritual services come onsite for whoever wants them, with activities both on the property and out in the community, like walks to the Elizabeth Lake Nature Preserve or stops at The Southern Shop, and visits from school children and pet therapy mix things up. Residents can keep pets, too, and everyone gathers in the home's shared living areas to relax, chat, and enjoy some company, with meals provided to make daily life run smoother. Beauty and barber services stay on site for easier grooming, and there's resident parking for those who still drive, while escorted and regular transportation takes folks to medical appointments without a hassle. Both men and women can live at Burr Oak Manor, but some units separate residents by gender, and the Pamela Unit stands out as a specialized area.

With 33 beds, state licensing as a CBRF community based residential care facility, VA certification, and a unique license to handle everything from nearly independent to total care, Burr Oak Manor tries to give people a place to keep their routines and stay connected, holding on to as much independence and dignity as possible, and the place emphasizes safety, calm, and support through good times or tough moments, while team members get training, legal support, and regular updates through WALA and other programs, plus the manor keeps information online for families and residents who like to check in or learn more before a visit.
