St. Paul Manor sits in Kaukauna, Wisconsin with 24 assisted living units and a smaller, home-like feel, so it's a place where folks get both privacy and help; they've set up shared living quarters, studios, and one-bedroom apartments, all with big closets, private bathrooms, kitchenettes, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi so people can settle in comfortably and even keep small pets. The staff and volunteers, who come from the Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity, make sure residents get care that feels personal, whether it's help with getting dressed, showering, moving around, or even spoon feeding if needed, and there's always someone awake and on-call day and night in case anything's needed.
Memory care goes deep at St. Paul Manor with the Passages program and the Memory Connections program, both focused on helping people with Alzheimer's or dementia keep their minds active and engaged, and there are expert dementia caregivers who look out for everyone's unique needs, managing diabetes, incontinence, Parkinson's, and medication, so folks get the right help. The place has a calm, peaceful mood, trying to make everyone feel respected and comfortable with simple routines, birthday parties, cards and board games, movie nights in the theater room, library visits, walks on the walking trails, fitness classes, music groups, and arts and crafts-the Life Enrichment Center keeps social activities going every day.
St. Paul Manor serves three chef-prepared meals a day in a dining room with snacks always out, and the cooks offer a pureed menu, allergy options, and diabetes-friendly dishes when needed; if someone can't eat on their own, staff provide dining assistance. The building includes big balconies, a game room, a chapel, a beauty and barber shop, on-site parking for family, laundry and housekeeping, and even home health and rehabilitation services for folks who need some extra support after illness or injury.
People who need more help can get skilled nursing, hospice, or long-term care, and the community operates on a non-profit model, so the focus stays on dignity, compassion, and making sure everybody belongs, not on making money. There are tailored service plans for every resident so the help fits exactly what each person wants or needs, and the staff provide custom care if a person needs things like mobility help or help with personal requests. Family members can park on the premises and get counseling or support services when they visit. St. Paul Manor values respect for all, and neighbors outdoor spaces and common areas for relaxing or joining community programs, with some services-like transportation and move-in coordination-making it easier to get settled, and management puts an emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion. St. Paul Manor stands as a medium-sized, community-based residential facility ready for folks needing assisted living, memory support, rehabilitation, or skilled nursing, with a mission to help every person face life's changes with care and reverence.
