Clement Manor Retirement Community sits in Greenfield, Wisconsin and serves older adults looking for a safe, comfortable place to call home, with 99 units offering independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, enhanced assisted living, respite care, and short-term rehab all under one roof, so a resident can find many levels of help as needs change, and even though the community has a faith-based background with the Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity as sponsors, people of any or no faith can feel welcome because they have a daily open chapel and pastoral care right on site. Clement Manor has apartments ranging from studios to one- and two-bedroom units, all with features to make life easier like walk-in showers, cut-out tubs, kitchenettes, air-conditioning, private bathrooms, and Wi-Fi, and every building has wide doorways and elevators for wheelchairs or walkers since many residents use those, plus there's on-site parking if someone still drives.
Dining is a big deal here, with meals prepared using organic foods and healthy ingredients, served in a restaurant-style dining room or brought to your unit, so nobody worries about cooking, and if you need a haircut or a shave, the salon and barber are right there too, plus laundry for linens, mail and package services, concierge help for errands, and a family portal to request repairs or appointments. Staff provide 24-hour support through a call system for emergencies or simple assistance, and that means someone can help with bathing, dressing, medications, grooming, and walking, with licensed nurses, therapists, and a care manager like Heidi Halbur making sure care plans fit every individual because people have different needs, especially those with memory or mobility challenges.
Residents who enjoy staying active can join scheduled daily activities, planned day trips with staff-provided transportation, and outings to local events, plus there's a fitness center, therapy pool, spa, sauna, and wellness classes all across campus, and people can garden, walk on outdoor paths, sit with friends on patios, enjoy movie nights and music programs, or read in the well-stocked library and use the game room for cards or puzzles. There's the Clement Manor Life Enriched Art Gallery hosting shows and creative classes, and lifelong learning happens at the Center for Enrichment, managed by Kristy Beyer, where people take part in educational and hobby programs, so it's hard to get bored even on a slow day. Memory care units, called Clare Suites, provide a secure and peaceful setting if someone has Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, with exits secured, outdoor gardens protected, and trained staff on hand to provide dementia care at all hours.
Medical care is close by, with skilled nursing and rehab, on-site occupational and physical therapy, medication management, hospice for those needing comfort care at the end, and scheduled doctor visits arranged by caring staff who'll even drive you there themselves if other transport can't be found. Residents enjoy a strong sense of community through social events run partly by residents, spiritual support, and common areas built for gathering, and special features like emergency alert systems, secured memory areas, and staff trained for specific needs like Parkinson's, arthritis, or post-surgery care all add to the safer setting. Many leaders, such as CEO Dennis Ferger, Chief Operating Officer Teresa Gatto, and Nurse Manager Deborah Safford, work as a team to see that life at Clement Manor remains both comfortable and engaging for everyone, and since the community is not-for-profit, being a member of LeadingAge Wisconsin, it focuses on steady care and good support, not on making money. Amenities also include a country store, a hair salon and spa, a chapel always open for quiet moments or services, and a community garden to grow flowers or vegetables, so everyone finds something for the mind, body, or spirit.
