Aster Assisted Living of Marshfield sits in a quiet spot in Marshfield, Wisconsin, in a building that once was a schoolhouse, and folks say it's a place with a comfortable neighborhood feel, where you'll see tall trees and tended flowerbeds out front and a lovely dining room inside, along with a parlor and bright sunroom that make for nice places to visit or relax. The place is part of Aster Senior Communities, which focus on helping people stay as independent as possible while still offering support, and it covers quite a range of care, from assisted and independent living to memory care for folks with Alzheimer's or other dementia, and it'll even offer respite and hospice support. There's a separate Memory Care area called Memory Care, and they've got a team trained for that, plus they do things like diabetic care, stroke rehab, and nutrition help, so there's support for different health needs. The staff are friendly and trained, and there's a nurse on call and medical transportation for when it's needed, and together with the Wells Nature View CBRF home nearby, residents have options for round-the-clock help.
Meals here are home-cooked, and folks gather in the dining rooms; there's also a 24-hour bistro, a library, a barbershop, a beauty salon, and even private kitchen space. Housekeeping, laundry, and chaplain services run on site, and you can arrange transportation or hop on a bus for a fee or for free, depending on the trip. Residents can pick from one-bedroom or two-bedroom apartments, some with a den, and all the rooms are kept up in good order. People with memory care needs have activities and programs set up to keep them engaged, with both indoor and outdoor choices every day, weekly Bible study, and a full calendar through the 'Eight Dimensions of Wellness' program-so there's always something brewing whether you're looking for exercise, music, entertainment, or even spiritual services. Folks can expect three exercise sessions a day, music and entertainment three times a week, and spiritual services twice a week.
For social needs, Aster Assisted Living of Marshfield organizes structured visits, educational events, and ways to help people make friends and stay busy. There are on-site and off-site devotional services, a beautician, and plenty of common spaces to sit or enjoy the views of the greenery outside. When it comes to care, staff help with daily tasks like bathing or getting dressed if needed, and there are specialized aides who can offer home care or companionship. They cover subacute, postsurgical, and colostomy care for those who need a little extra hand after hospital visits, and there are options for aging in place, so people don't have to move if their needs change.
Parking is available, and the building's near a busline, so getting around is manageable. People say the meals are nutritious and made with care, and the staff are known for creating a warm, helpful atmosphere where things get fixed and cleaned as needed. Folks bring up the fact that the staff seem devoted and keep the place tidy, and the sense of tradition runs deep in a building that's seen generations come and go. You'll find plenty of pictures and information online showing what daily life is like, with clear terms about pricing and care, and you can always call for a tour if you're curious about what's offered each day of the week.
