The Drake House III

The Drake House III sits on 501 W 13th St in Marshfield, Wisconsin, and is a Community-Based Residential Facility (CBRF) licensed under Wisconsin license #10358 with room for 8 residents, making it a small and home-like place for older adults needing extra help, and what you get here is a mix of assisted living services, memory care, skilled nursing, and adult foster care all under one roof, which means there's always someone around day and night to help with things like bathing, dressing, getting out of bed, and medication, and the staff here is trained to work with seniors who have memory loss or dementia, checking in often and using special programs and activities for memory support, plus all the rooms are designed for safety with emergency alert systems and some have private bathrooms or private living spaces if that's what you're looking for. You'll also find furnished suites, one-bedroom and studio options, or shared spaces for those who like company, and there's a dining room with three home-cooked meals each day, and special diets are no problem since meals can be changed for medical reasons. Residents can take part in scheduled activities, movie and game nights, garden walks, outdoor relaxation, music therapy, and animal therapy, and there are fitness and creative programs to keep folks moving and engaged, while staff can give a hand with mobility, two-person transfers, and help getting in and out of the shower, and for folks who need it, there's even support for Parkinson's disease and custom care plans. The Drake House III has wheelchair access in some rooms, plus there are board and care home services for adults with disabilities, all with regular housekeeping, laundry, equipment lending, and transportation for appointments, shopping, or spiritual visits, and if someone needs wound care, rehabilitation, or more serious nursing attention, there's comprehensive support and round-the-clock skilled nursing, along with respite care for families who need a short break. The community offers social gatherings, communal dining, reading and recreation areas, a snack shop, and even a greenhouse, but no pets or indoor parking like at some places such as Stoney River Memory Care, though there are outdoor spaces and walking paths for fresh air. Support programs help caregivers and give tips on healthy living, plus there's caregiver and nursing jobs for CNAs, LPNs/LVNs, and RNs. The Drake House III doesn't accept Medicare unless certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, and it's mainly private pay, but it helps connect people with local resources and benefits for seniors and adults with disabilities. All in all, The Drake House III is a smaller, straightforward senior living community designed to keep residents comfortable, safe, and active, whether they need a little support with daily tasks or more advanced nursing care.
