VitaCare Living Hayward

VitaCare Living Hayward sits on White Birch Lane in Hayward, Wisconsin, and people sometimes still remember it as Country Terrace Assisted Living, and this place is really sort of known for having two small communities, one with 13 beds and one with 16, so it stays pretty quiet and has a more home-like feeling than bigger places tend to have, with both assisted living and memory care options and a focus on safety, support, and trying to help people stay as independent as they're able to be, and what stands out is how the staff make sure everyone gets help 24 hours a day for whatever they need, like medication, reminders, personal care, monitoring, and incontinence care, plus there are part-time nurses and in-house medication managers, and they've got specialized support for behavioral concerns or confusion, like with Alzheimer's, so residents get reminders and a secure setting with extra wandering protections in place. The environment encourages people to keep active in ways that suit them, so there are structured activities every day, outings out to local spots or for field trips, arts and crafts, trivia, brain fitness games like Dakim, music, tabletop games, movies, baking, picnics, bingo, cards, and even walks, plus there's companion care, hospice care, and respite care offered as people need it, and devotional services and pet therapy visits show up pretty regularly too, and the activity director plans all this out so there's always something going on. Apartments are studios on the ground floor, with no-step showers, air conditioning, and everything is handicap accessible, but there are no pets of your own allowed inside, though residents do get access to outdoor spaces and gardens, along with indoor community rooms for dining or parties, and there's communal dining, nutritious, home-cooked meals, a beautician onsite, and plenty of dietary choices like gluten-free, vegan, or low/no sodium or sugar for those who need them. Housekeeping, laundry, and linen service all come in the package, and wi-fi and cable TV are available both in common areas and in residents' rooms, and the pricing stays all-inclusive so you won't be surprised by extra fees. Residents can bring guests for meals, there's personal parking on-site, and they've got paid transportation services when folks need to get to appointments or activities, plus they're close by to hospitals, shopping, and restaurants, and outside volunteers from churches and local schools help organize things like concerts or special events. Memory care here means each person gets an individualized care plan, with daily support and encouragement, and everyone can take part in exercise groups, community outings, and holiday or birthday celebrations. VitaCare Living Hayward connects to state and federal health care programs and the Affordable Care Act, and online resources include symptom checkers, health libraries, and tools to help families find services or update agency listings, making it easier for people to manage their care, understand medication, or get support, and families can expect that security, a familiar routine, and staff with a caring approach are strong here, with meals, room service if needed, guest parking, and religious services offered regularly. Wi-fi in apartments, support with activities of daily living, and continuous help for everyone, male or female, round out the basics, and the community keeps a friendly and down-to-earth atmosphere, welcoming tours and visits so families can see firsthand how the place feels.
