Christian Community Homes and Services sits on nine acres in Hudson, Wisconsin, with quiet hills, valleys, and a campus that gives people a peaceful place to call home in their older years, and the main thing about this place is how people can pick from four different lifestyles, like independent living, assisted living if they need help with things like dressing or taking medicine, skilled nursing for those who need lots of care and medical help all day and night, and memory care for people with Alzheimer's and dementia, so right away you see it's got a full range of options under one roof, plus there's Pine Ridge Assisted Living and Pine Ridge Gardens Memory Care, both offering more support when folks need a hand with daily living or memory issues, and Red Oak Rehabilitation helps people get back on their feet after a hospital stay with things like physical, occupational, and speech therapy right on site, and when someone's ready for independent living but don't want the chores, the senior apartments let them enjoy freedom without the hassle of upkeep.
All sorts of people work there with special jobs, like a CEO, Director of Housing, nurse managers, social services staff, and others, and you can see they've really set up teams for every piece of care, including a Life Enrichment Manager who makes sure there's activities-from music to crafts, holiday events, and outdoor trips-going on so people don't just sit around, and there's a focus on nutritious meals three times a day, coming from a registered dietitian, making sure everyone gets what they need, with vitamins and minerals in mind, and if anyone needs help taking medicine, bathing, dressing, or getting reminders, the staff steps in, and people say they're kind, patient, and bring a cheerful spirit to the work, which helps make new arrivals feel like they belong.
Pine Ridge Gardens Memory Care is for folks who really need a secure place that feels like home, and they keep it intimate with twenty private rooms, private bathrooms, big showers that you roll or walk into, and special memory boxes next to the doors for personal mementos, plus the doors have alarms if somebody tries to wander, because safety is important, and staff in memory care keep up on dementia training, bringing comfort and understanding when confusion sets in, and there's always activities, whether that's crafts, music, or heading outside, plus landscaped gardens, fish ponds, and lounges where people gather.
For someone recovering after a hospital trip, Red Oak Rehabilitation and Therapy Center offers short stays and helps bridge the gap between the hospital and home, with nurses and therapists on staff who can do wound care, IV therapy, and set up a program for restorative health, along with help from physicians and nurse practitioners when needed, so people get the chance to regain strength before deciding their next move.
Meals are served restaurant-style in the dining area, housekeeping and laundry keep things neat, and there's scheduled transportation for medical appointments around Hudson, while amenities like libraries, flat-screen TVs, Wi-Fi, cable, phone service, and weekly church services are included, and folks get help arranging transportation or taking care of chores if they want it.
The whole place is run as a non-profit, faith-based community that works closely with local churches and people in Hudson, focusing on giving aging adults a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment and offering jobs and education for those interested in caregiving, and they've got special programs, like Echelon and The Synergy Network for quality improvement, meaning staff are always looking for better ways to care for residents.
Emergency systems, alarms, and on-site staff mean help's always close at hand if someone needs it, and with all the services from full nursing help to independent apartments to the kind of extras like spiritual care and community events, Christian Community Homes and Services tries to cover all the needs seniors might have as they age, so they can stay in one place as those needs change, allowing each person to keep as much independence and dignity as possible.
