1 Helping Hands - AFH

1 Helping Hands - AFH was an adult family home in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, that provided assisted living and specialized dementia care, and you could tell by the name that it focused a lot on hands-on support, and what set it apart too was how it was a smaller place, housing just a few residents at a time, so people living there got daily help with things like bathing, dressing, getting around, and medication, and it was also designed for folks with memory issues, including Alzheimer's, with its own specialty care unit and thoughtful touches like a secured area to keep residents safe, plus inside you'd find a furnished environment with resident-run activities, an arts room, a garden, and even walking paths, which meant people could interact and stay active if they wanted, and they organized movie nights and had a dining room where everyone could sit down for meals, with options for allergies or diabetes diets, and if anyone needed help moving in or coordinating care, they did that, too, with move-in help and regular communication with doctors, all backed up by a 24-hour call system and constant supervision, so families knew their loved one was being watched over, though now it's closed so it doesn't offer those services anymore, but when it did, it was a place where people could age in place with help for both memory loss and everyday life, and it provided meals, laundry, housekeeping, and even barber and salon services, with transportation and parking options as well, so it covered most needs for seniors who wanted a small, supportive home but now is no longer open.
