Forward House

Forward House sits at 700A Eugene Street in Merrill, WI, and offers assisted living in a small, homelike setting with only 4 licensed beds under Wisconsin license #12507, and folks here find fully furnished rooms, some are shared and some are private suites, each with private bathrooms, air-conditioning, and kitchenettes, and the place keeps things simple for residents who need a hand with daily life, giving help with bathing, dressing, personal hygiene, and getting around, along with managing medications and special diets, like for diabetes or allergies, and the meals use organic ingredients-always three a day, made by a chef, served in the dining room, or enjoyed all day in the all-day dining program, and people can join in on movie nights, arts and crafts, fitness classes, and social activities, sometimes grabbing a snack from the snack shop or spending quiet time in the games room or library, maybe walking outside on the garden paths. The care team here is awake around the clock, with emergency alert buttons, nurse access, housekeeping, and laundry, so residents don't need to fret over cleaning or safety, and the staff also arranges rides for doctor visits, errands, or family, even helping to coordinate the move in, and the place supports those with memory loss or Parkinson's disease, offering therapies and personal care with respect for dignity and privacy, fitting each care plan to each resident. Folks who need a short stay can use respite care, giving temporary relief to caregivers. There are programs for hobbies, computer and internet access, and other conveniences like cable TV, telephones, and parking for visitors, so everyone stays connected and entertained. The atmosphere feels quiet, with everyone known by name, and with so few residents, people find it easier to make friends and get the attention they need. Service rates start at $3,912 per month, and Medicare isn't accepted. Forward House has a license and works with local agencies to meet care standards, and everything's about supporting folks to keep as much independence as possible while making sure they always feel at home.
