Open Hands Family Home

Open Hands Family Home in Milwaukee, WI is a small community with space for only four residents, so you get a close-knit, family-style environment where staff know everyone by name, and all the rooms and living spaces are furnished to make life a little easier. The home offers both general assisted living and memory care, including Alzheimer's and dementia care units at more than one location, which means people who need a little help with bathing, dressing, medicine, or getting around have help day or night from trained staff, and folks living with dementia or memory loss have a safe, secure part of the building where they can join in specialized activities made to help with memory. The place has a peaceful garden for sitting outside, a dining room with meals thoughtfully prepared by staff (and residents can help make their own meals if they want), walkways for a bit of exercise or fresh air, cable TV, high-speed Wi-Fi, and emergency alert systems in each room to keep everyone safe and connected, and the whole house is wheelchair accessible for people who need it. Open Hands Family Home arranges rides to the doctor and local spots, handles housekeeping and laundry including dry cleaning, and offers respite care so families can get a break when needed, and for folks who have special diets, like for diabetes, staff help with that too. Residents can take part in daily scheduled activities, movie nights, and social events, or relax in the gardens, and there's always support for those who need help with moving around, taking medicine, or health management after an illness or surgery, and round-the-clock nursing for medical needs like rehabilitation and wound care. The home pays attention to people as individuals, supports everyone's choices, and tries to make the transition smooth with move-in help and plenty of ways to feel settled from the start.
