Ellens Place sits in Wisconsin as a small residential care home with only four assisted living units, so you get more one-on-one attention and help if you need it, and there's staff awake all day and night, which is comforting if you're someone who wakes up during the night or needs help getting up, and they've got emergency buttons in the rooms, too, so you never have to worry if you need something in a hurry. The place is licensed under Wisconsin license #13723, and if you or your loved one needs memory support, they offer Alzheimer's care and have specialized memory activities set up, and if you need help remembering or managing your medicine, they take care of that, too. You get daily activities and fun events-everything from birthday parties to arts and crafts and even movie nights in a real movie theatre room-they keep the calendar full with community events, games, and exercise classes, and for those who need it, they have fall prevention courses and a life enrichment program.
If you like animals, you'll be glad to hear both cats and dogs are welcome, and the rooms come with private ADA-compliant bathrooms, telephones, and basic furniture, but there's storage space if you want to bring some of your own things. Residents have access to computers and WiFi along with the usual utilities, all included, and snacks are always around if someone gets hungry outside of meal times, and they even have a special pureed menu for those who need softer food. There's a beauty and barber shop, a bistro, massage service, big-screen TVs, a games room, and internet, so there's no issue finding something to do, and if you like the outdoors, there's a garden and walking paths around the grounds. Staff can help with bathing, dressing, moving around, or eating if needed, and they develop care plans tailored to what each person wants or needs day to day, and there's help for people with Parkinson's or folks who need spoon-feeding, too. You get routine visits from a physician, plus access to a staff nurse and occupational therapy, and they look out for people who might need more help with getting up, laying down, or other personal care.
Rooms can be private or shared, and you'll find a homelike atmosphere with daily housekeeping, linen services, laundry included, and transportation available if you have medical appointments or need to get somewhere. The community supports family with group meetings and helps you transition in with move-in coordination, offering both short-term respite care and long-term stays depending on what's needed. They host training and educational sessions for staff, participate in programs that focus on keeping care quality high, and if you're curious about assisted living providers in the area, they're part of a larger network that keeps people connected to resources and news. Everything's set up to make sure you're safe, supported, and as independent as possible, no matter your needs.
