Reynolds Assisted Living And Memory Care sits in a remodeled large four-bedroom home in Monona, Wisconsin with a spacious, secure fenced yard where residents can walk on paths or sit out on a wooden deck, and it's got a ramp for easy access too, so folks using wheelchairs or with walkers can get outside safely. Reynolds only accepts up to five residents at a time, which means each person gets a lot of personal attention, and the staff of six Certified Nursing Assistants plus a licensed RN are there around the clock to help with bathing, dressing, medication, transfers, and everyday needs, and they're comfortable handling more complex conditions including diabetes care and incontinence, and even provide help for residents who might get confused, try to leave, or display some challenging behaviors. The facility provides both assisted living and a secured memory care program designed for people with Alzheimer's disease, dementia, or memory loss-using activity bracelets and computer alerts to keep residents safe if they try to wander, and they'll even work with residents who are physically aggressive or have trouble staying safe on their own, plus the home is wired with a Brinks 24-hour security system that covers fire and medical calls.
They offer private and shared rooms, three of which are private, all furnished and with cable TV, telephone, wifi, accessible showers, and meal prep is done by a chef who serves family-style meals, and there are options for special diets and even vegetarian food. Residents are welcome to bring pets if they'd like, and smoking doesn't happen inside. There are laundry machines for personal use, maintenance and housekeeping are provided, and the move-in help makes settling in a bit easier. Common areas inside and out include a wide, open living room, a downstairs family room for visits, a large dining room, plus a garden and walking paths out back. Residents can keep busy with onsite activities led by a full-time activity director-like movie nights, arts and crafts, devotional services, singing, and offsite trips using a little handicap bus, and for those who can and want to, there are outings to local spots and appointments, plus field trips for a change of scenery.
Family members can count on 24-hour awake staff, a doctor and nurse on-call, and visiting nurses, as well as help with arranging medical appointments and transportation, and the facility is licensed as a 5-person Community Based Residential Facility by the State of Wisconsin. Reynolds can take men and women, offers both short-term respite care and longer-term stays, and allows residents to age in place, meaning folks can stay as their care needs increase with time. Along with all that, there's a beauty salon and barber shop, cable in every room, internet, a fitness center, and a secured environment that makes families feel more at ease about safety, especially for anyone with dementia or a tendency to wander. The emphasis here is on making life comfortable, safe, and as active as possible, so people can feel at home while getting the care they need, in a quiet setting that's smaller and more personal than bigger places, where everyone knows your name.
