Elmwood

Elmwood, located at 6604 Elmwood Ave in Middleton, WI 53562, offers seniors fifty-five and older a quiet place for living with several choices like apartments, condos, townhomes, and houses, where the buildings, built in 2005, have about 20 apartment units with one-bedroom, one-bath layouts, ranging from about 525 to 580 square feet, and each comes with basic things like air conditioning, carpet or vinyl flooring, ceiling fans, a dishwasher, garbage disposal, kitchen island, washer and dryer in the apartment, plus shared laundry facilities available on site. Residents won't pay a one-time security deposit fee, and details about the pet policy are available on request, though dogs and cats are allowed and the community is known for being pet-friendly, with extra features for pets and different floor plans, with some units also having parking (though it's unclear if it's underground or above ground) and wheelchair access. The rent or sale terms usually last twelve months, and utilities are included, though which ones aren't clearly listed. Elmwood does more than provide homes, as there are options for independent living, assisted living, and care homes for people needing help with things like dressing and bathing, with memory care for dementia or Alzheimer's, and residents can move between these types of care as needs change, and there's also home care, where aides help with non-medical needs and companionship for seniors who want to stay in their space. Elmwood operates as part of Oakwood Village, a Lutheran, church-sponsored organization started in 1947, and manages several senior apartment communities like Heritage Oaks and The Oaks, plus Life Lease Apartment Homes, with support also coming from the Oakwood Foundation, which can help with costs. Sitting near natural areas gives Elmwood a peaceful feeling, with community spaces, fitness rooms, roof gardens in some buildings, and parking available. Elmwood is recognized with awards for exceptional care and resident satisfaction, staff focus on meals made by chefs and planners using good ingredients, and veterans or their families may be able to use VA benefits for long-term care. The location and its many services, from active adult events to general counseling and managed apartments, give older adults a mix of independence and support, with housing that's maintenance-free and designed for safety and comfort, and the whole place focuses on community and services for seniors over fifty-five, making it a steady choice for those who want options and a place near nature.
