Hil The Winds sits about three and a half miles outside Manitowoc, Wisconsin, offering care in a quiet area where people can get support at their own pace, and this place has eight beds and is a Community Based Residential Facility (CBRF) that specializes in helping folks who want to keep some independence but still need help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, transfers, or taking medicine, and there are services for people who have disabilities, emotional challenges, or mental illness, so the staff can make a custom care plan for each resident, no matter what kind of help is needed, and if someone needs hospice or home health care, those services are available too, along with group home support.
There's a choice of living setups, including studio, semi-private, shared, and companion rooms, and some have kitchenettes, while others are set up for shared living if that's what someone wants, plus all of them are wheelchair and handicapped accessible. The common areas include a dining room, a community room, a reading section, and a game room, and people can join in on arts and crafts, movie nights, or other planned activities if they wish. Outdoors, there are walking paths and a garden, and indoors there's a beauty and barber shop for grooming, plus parking for those who drive or have visitors stopping by.
People living here can expect chef-prepared fresh meals, menus that are easy to read, and there's help with feeding if needed, including things like feeding by spoon and individual dining help, and special diets get accommodated. For those needing extra medical support, the facility has round-the-clock emergency response, on-call nurse services, 24/7 security, and routine health checks, and they do medication management too, plus help with showers and other personal care. There's transportation available for outings or doctor visits, housekeeping and laundry services to keep rooms tidy, and a move-in coordination service to make settling in easier.
Hil The Winds provides care for people with dementia, Parkinson's disease, and those needing rehabilitation, offering feeding help, support with showering, and medication reminders. The staff stays focused on safety with in-room emergency alert systems, plus tailored service plans that get updated as care needs change. If someone comes for a short stay, like respite care, those same features are in place. There are also member profiles for related homes like HIL Andrew CBRF and HIL Anthony CBRF, and under the Homes for Independent Living, The Winds program, there's an emphasis on both comfort and privacy for those who want it. Office hours run Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, allowing time to speak with staff or coordinate care as needed.
