Cottage Care Center

Cottage Care Center sits at 204 Hall Street in Mauston, WI, and offers a home-like place for seniors who need assistance, and it's nice because families know the staff is around 24 hours a day to help with emergencies, things like moving from a bed to a wheelchair, giving medicine, or helping with dressing, and there are nurses watching over the residents' health too, and the dining area serves home-cooked meals all day, with nutritious choices tailored for what folks need. The place has 31 thoughtfully designed units, and you can pick from studios, one-bedroom, semi-private, or two-bedroom options, all furnished and with in-room phones. The community has common rooms for folks to gather, walking paths, a garden, scheduled activities like movie nights and social events, devotional time, and even a beauty salon, while the on-site café stays open all day, and there's also help with transportation and parking for those who get out and about. Cottage Care Center welcomes well-behaved pets, which helps people feel more at home, and it offers assistance for those who need help with things like bathing, dressing, incontinence care, or managing medications. Specialized care programs have unique names, and memory care services focus on people living with dementia, with dementia waivers in place to keep them safe and comfortable, and the team provides a secure setting with supervised activities, making sure folks with memory loss get support that matches their needs, and the regular assisted living services have 24-hour supervision and help with things like daily activities and transfers. Hospice waiver services support people who are nearing the end of life, always aiming for comfort and dignity, and Cottage Care Center's team works to foster a nurturing community where everyone feels engaged. The community-based residential facility keeps short-term and respite stays as an option, and fees are set up with care levels in mind, adjusting for high, medium, or low-care, and there are separate fees for respite, move-in, and buying in. Payment comes from several sources, including private pay, insurance, Social Security, and veteran's benefits, and the main Cottage Care Center location in Mauston is at Hall Street, with another spot nearby called Cottage Care Circle on Attewell Street. The staff stays on hand from nine to five on weekdays for any help or questions, and the center's really about offering compassionate care, a sense of belonging, and a safe place to call home, with an emphasis on both health and community connection, and there are also sister locations across Wisconsin like in Baraboo, Reedsburg, and Janesville, so folks can expect the same level of attention wherever they may stay.
