Hannahs House East sits about three miles outside Monona, Wisconsin, and isn't a big place at all, with only eight beds, which means folks get a lot of attention and neighbors are easy to know, and the staff seems to focus on keeping things simple and safe, especially for seniors who need help with daily care like bathing, meals, or medication. The facility is licensed as a residential care home (CBRF) and holds state license number 13459, so it follows Wisconsin regulations, and along with assisted living, there's memory care, respite services for those who need a short stay, and rehabilitation, which helps people recover after hospital visits. They take care of people with all kinds of needs, including those who struggle with walking or who need two people to help when moving, and they can help folks with dementia or other cognitive problems with 24-hour staff supervision, medication help, and all sorts of reminders.
Every resident can pick from different studio-style private rooms, which come with their own baths and tubs, and there's help with dressing, transferring, and bathing when needed, plus support for hygiene and special meal plans for conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure, so diets can be adjusted, with three homemade meals each day, including vegetarian options. They don't forget about comfort, either, since there's a sunroom to visit with family and a living room for spending time with friends, and on Fridays there's a regular "Happy Hour" from 3:00 to 4:30 in the afternoon. The facility offers indoor and outdoor common spaces, walking paths, gardens, and spots to enjoy music, movies, games, and creative activities; some weeks offer music therapy, animal visits, tabletop games, trips outside, game nights, and even transportation to medical appointments or spiritual services, though sometimes that comes at an extra cost. There's a mobile hairdresser, too, so folks can get their hair done right at home, and extra services cover laundry, housekeeping, and even helping coordinate with health providers, plus incontinence care and hospice waiver services are available for those who need more help.
Staff are trained for safety, and the place uses emergency alert systems, but still tries to put dignity and independence at the front, making sure people feel at home, even if they do need a lot of help some days. The community rating stands at 6 out of 10, which leaves some room for improvement, but the facility does offer a peaceful, close-knit environment for those looking for assisted living with memory care, respite, or rehabilitation in the Wisconsin area, and there's a focus on people getting the right kind of help with the hope that days can be both safe and pleasant, however simple they may be.
