Bell Therapy Belwood VIII, part of Broadstep Wisconsin and Broadstep Academy, sits in Milwaukee County and serves up to 8 residents in a community-based residential facility called Belwood VIII Martin-CBRF. The administrator on record is Tiffany Sanchez. The place provides assisted living with extra care for seniors who need help with everyday things like bathing, dressing, meal preparation, and medication management, and they've also got skilled nursing services, rehabilitation, wound care, and full nursing support. Folks who have memory troubles can get memory care with special programs and activities to help them. The staff helps people with mental illness or emotional disturbance too, since that's one of their specialties.
Semi-private rooms, studios, and suites are available, with each furnished and set up for either private or shared living-there's a phone in every room and emergency alerts in place, so help is always easy to get. The community is wheelchair accessible and can care for non-ambulatory residents, offering two-person transfers and lots of help with getting around. There's 24-hour supervision, caregivers speak English, and custom care plans are based on each person's needs. Staff can help coordinate with healthcare providers for appointments, manage medication, support physical therapy, wound care, mobility work, pain management, and help people with special rehab needs, like Parkinson's disease.
Meals are home-cooked and served three times daily in a dining room setting, and if a resident has a medical diet, like for diabetes or allergies, they'll adjust for that. Everyone can enjoy all-day dining, snacks from the snack shop, and help with dining if needed. Housekeeping, laundry and bathroom cleaning are provided, so rooms stay fresh, and there's move-in help when someone first arrives.
Amenities at Bell Therapy Belwood VIII are comfortable but not fancy, like a chapel service, communal kitchen, book room, walking paths, gardens, movie nights, art and music programs, social events, and a little wellness center. There's exercise classes, a fitness room, a steam room, hot tub, hairdresser or parlor, and outdoor spaces for gardening and fresh air. Scheduled activities and recreation make sure there's always something to do, while transportation is on hand for doctor's appointments, faith services, errands, and community outings, and parking's available.
Folks can also get short-term respite care and hospice care when needed, with support for day programs or home care if living off-site. The care team builds each person a treatment plan, and supports activities of daily living like bathing, showers, toileting, and medication help. For those who need it, they'll help with things like spoon-feeding, reminders, and getting to the bath safely. The setting aims to be calm, supportive, and welcoming, focusing on recovery and comfort so each resident can keep as much independence and dignity as possible.
