Emerson Senior Living, also called Emerson Assisted Living Boutique, sits at 402 Rustic Dr in Madison, WI, and offers assisted living, independent living, nursing home care, memory care, and residential care. The community uses a ranch-style home design spread over 1.25 acres with trees, flower gardens, patios, a fire pit, and outdoor seating. The building is fully handicapped accessible, has wide 6-foot hallways, enclosed and exit ramps, and barrier-free porches so people using walkers or wheelchairs can get around easily. Rooms come as studios, singles, two-bedrooms, or private and semi-private layouts, with private bathrooms in assisted and supportive living. Units feature cable TV, internet, and some have washers and dryers, plus kitchenettes for more independence.
Emerson designs the living spaces for comfort and safety with sprinkler systems, a 24-hour security system, and daily housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance. Safety and privacy are key, and staff at least one person on duty at all times when residents are present, with care available around the clock for emergencies. The property offers parking for residents and guests, guest meals, and overnight guest options.
Residents find lots of common spaces, including a large living room with a fireplace and cathedral ceilings, a library, a recreation room, TV lounges, arts and crafts spaces, a large kitchen, dining area, and screened and covered porches, all on the main level. There's a salon and barbershop on-site and a fitness center. Residents can join group games, outings, classes, Nintendo Wii bowling, shopping trips, garden groups, crafts, field trips, cultural events, religious services, and music groups.
Meal services use herbs and vegetables from the garden, and a professional chef prepares fresh baked desserts and dinners, with dining rooms designed for community meals and special diets supported, like diabetic, low salt, kosher, and vegetarian. Residents can get personal care for dressing, bathing, grooming, and mobility. The team helps with medication, wound care, nursing, podiatry, and occupational therapy, along with regular visits from outside health providers if needed. There's support for seniors with memory loss and those needing both only supportive help or more complete assisted living.
The community also offers Independence Plus for Couples so spouses can stay together, even if their needs differ, with different fee structures. They provide regular transportation for errands or doctor visits, handle housecleaning, laundry, and linens, and have a gardening program that gives those who want to help a chance to get their hands in the dirt. Staff speak English and strive to treat people with respect and dignity, keeping the focus on promoting independence, active aging, and personal choice. Emerson Assisted Living Boutique accepts long-term care insurance, Medicaid, Medicare, and credit cards and provides guidance on home sales to help with payments. The place is licensed by the state, has a track record of third-party verified reviews, offers all-inclusive rent options, and supports families with education to make long-term care decisions easier.
