Lake Mills Independent Living Services sits at 510 Owen Street in Lake Mills, Wisconsin, with a close connection to Timberwood Lodge Lake Mills and Timberwood Lodge Assisted Living, and it's a small, home-like place with only 8 beds, so folks get plenty of individual attention, and it's still family owned and run, with the same folks there every day, looking after everyone's medical, social, and spiritual needs, and you'll notice there are both independent living and assisted living services for people who want as much independence as they can have, but want some help with daily things like bathing, dressing, or taking medicine. The staff stays on-site around the clock, every day, and folks get support with transfers, non-ambulatory care, and they help with managing medications, while giving respect for each person's dignity and choices, and rooms and common areas are furnished and cleaned regularly, and the staff does laundry and dry cleaning, too. There are private bedrooms or living spaces in assisted living, and in some places there's a small kitchenette so you can prepare a snack or light meal, plus scheduled meals are served in a dining room with all-day dining options, and special diets like for diabetes or allergies can be handled, so you don't have to worry if you've got special food needs.
For folks who need more care, memory care communities are part of the setup, offering a secure environment with alert systems if somebody exits, which makes things safer for anyone living with Alzheimer's or other kinds of dementia, and the staff is trained specially for those needs. Housekeeping, laundry, transportation, and move-in help come along with the place, and there are organized activities like movie nights and an activities calendar so folks can meet others and try new things. You'll find outdoor walking paths and a garden for fresh air and a bit of quiet, with a supportive atmosphere focused on wellness and having a good laugh once in a while, and the emergency alert system brings peace of mind. Folks can bring a telephone into their furnished rooms, and the community can coordinate with healthcare providers if medical needs come up. Parking and transportation services are on hand as well, and the overall approach is to partner with residents in their care, to help them keep their independence while still having support close by when it's needed, and there's a program called "Join Our Family!" that makes the transition into the community feel less like a big move and more like becoming part of something friendly and tightknit, and they are currently accepting new residents.
