Aurora Residential Alt 010 sits in a quiet residential neighborhood in Menomonie, Wisconsin, and has room for up to six people who need support in their daily lives, whether that means some help with things like bathing, dressing, meals, and medication, or even more specialized memory care for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, and you'll find that the place is small enough that it feels comfortable and welcoming, where folks can get to know each other. There's staff on duty all the time, so residents can get help whenever they need it with getting up and around, toileting, hygiene, two-person transfers, medication reminders, and even nutritional modifications for things like diabetes or high blood pressure, and all the meals are home-cooked three times a day, which can also be adjusted if someone has allergies or needs a special diet.
The facility provides both assisted living and memory care services, plus help with hospice and respite stays, so people can remain there even if their needs change, and there are all sorts of supports for those with mobility issues or who use wheelchairs, including non-ambulatory care, and the rooms come fully furnished. There's someone to coordinate rides for medical appointments, errands, or spiritual services, and the community takes care of the laundry, cleaning, and even dry cleaning. People have their own furnished bedrooms, and there's a community dining room where everyone gathers for meals, and common rooms that include places like a reading room, a game room, and possibly even a steam room, a spa, or salon-sometimes there's a stylist that comes right to the home, too. Residents can walk outdoors in the garden or on walking paths, and parking and transportation is available.
The activities range from regular movie nights and board games to music therapy, pet visits, group outings, exercise programs, and planned community events in the lounge, and there's always something going on to encourage everyone to join in, whatever their interests or energy levels. The community keeps things secure for those in memory care so people don't wander, and every room has an emergency alert system. The staff stay attentive to special medical needs, making sure to coordinate with doctors and other health care providers, and are ready to help at any time, day or night, whether someone needs support with daily tasks, health care, or just a friendly presence. Aurora Residential Alt 010 focuses on being a place that feels like home, aiming to provide comfort, support, and a sense of belonging for every resident, no matter what stage of life they're in.
