Drake House of Marshfield LLC sits as a small community-based residential facility where folks can age in place with comfort, and the staff provide care that matches different needs as people get older, so folks might start off pretty independent and then, as time passes, get more help with things like daily activities, medication, meals, and personal care, and they do this kind of work for folks in assisted living, memory care, and board and care rooms, with spaces like private or semi-private suites, studios, and one-bedroom units that have features like private bathrooms and space for pets in some rooms. Drake House has eight licensed beds, operates around the clock, and supports residents with mobility or cognitive challenges by giving options like help bathing, dressing, grooming, and eating, plus there's transportation for doctor's visits, errands, or spiritual outings, and daily homemade meals with diet changes available for medical needs like high blood pressure or diabetes. It's a community where people with Alzheimer's or dementia can live safely with memory care programs, secure rooms, 24-hour support, and activities meant to keep minds engaged, and skilled nursing is offered too, with things like wound care, rehab, and support for recovering from illness or surgery, all done with the aim of helping residents keep their dignity and stay as independent as possible.
There's a bunch of neighborhood homes like Addie's House, Alice Henke Villa, Alvin O'Konski Manor, and Casa Therese Apartments, and the care can go from companion care in board and care homes to more medical services, and folks might use respite or hospice care if they need it for short periods or at the end of life, and people who've got disabilities or brain injuries can find care, too, usually in Adult Family Homes. Licensed and inspected, the facility stays open 24/7 and covers a lot of ground with services, so besides personal support, there's benefits and resources for seniors and caregivers, memory services, healthy living classes, and equipment lending, and residents get to join daily activities like music or art therapy, workout and fitness programs, social nights, games, outdoor trips, movie shows, and planned recreation in places like a reading room, hot tub, sauna, and beauty shop. There's no indoor parking, but the building has features for wheelchair users and people with other physical needs.
They don't take Medicare payment unless they're certified, but otherwise the team keeps things sane for families and residents by walking through transitions in health or independence without having to make a big move, and the overall goal always looks like helping people stay active, cared for, and respected as they grow older.
