Purposeful Living Family Home sits in the Thurston Woods area of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and has space for up to four seniors in a home-like setting, so you'd find four senior apartments or living units, including options like washer, dryer, and kitchenettes, studio suites, furnished rooms, and some choices for communal living. The place is licensed as an Adult Family Home, and folks there get 24-hour supervision and support with things like bathing, dressing, transferring, and taking medicine, with licensed nurses around all day and night, monthly doctor wellness check-ups, preventive health checks, and staff handling medication management. Residents get specialty services for Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's care, dementia care, and mild cognitive problems, and there's a focus on purpose and quality of life, which means personal care plans and plenty of help for those needing a little special attention as they get older.
Meals come catered to dietary needs, like diabetes or allergies, and there's always meal preparation, all-day dining, and snacks available, with a community kitchen if anyone wants to help, plus weekly laundry, room cleaning, linen, and even dry-cleaning service, so folks don't need to worry about chores. Each apartment or suite has emergency buttons and safety features, and there's a round-the-clock emergency alert system, wheelchair access, and friendly visiting hours for families. For fun and staying active, the home has a fitness activity center, therapy area, community room, movie nights, lots of games, arts and crafts, and scheduled activities to help people stay connected, with a library to relax in, outdoor porches, a garden with walking paths, plus a wellness center for anyone needing it.
The staff can help with move-in coordination, and those who need a break from caregiving can use respite care for short stays. There's a focus on promoting a safe, social, and family-style atmosphere, and people who want to age with dignity in a smaller setting might find that here, with personal touches, housekeeping handled, telephone and Wifi service, transportation when needed, security, mental wellness programs, and faith-friendly support for those who want it. Board and care staff keep the atmosphere supportive and warm, and hospice care is available if that's required, with coordination from healthcare providers at all times and a monthly cost around $2,890. While specific extra details weren't available, Purposeful Living Family Home specializes in residential care in a small, friendly place where each resident gets attention, comfort, and personal help every day.
