Clarity Care Third Street House sits in Neenah, Wisconsin, and offers assisted living for up to five seniors in a cozy, supportive place. Residents get help with everyday tasks like bathing, getting dressed, using the bathroom, washing up, and grooming. There's memory care for those with dementia or memory problems, and hospice care for those needing end-of-life support, plus respite care if family caregivers need a break. All meals are homemade and served three times a day in the dining room, and the staff can follow special diets for things like diabetes or high blood pressure if needed, which can be a huge relief for folks with health concerns. There's regular housekeeping, laundry service, and move-in coordination, so people don't have to worry so much about chores.
Staff helps with medication management and will coordinate with healthcare providers when needed, offering diabetic and incontinence care, and they supervise everyone 24 hours a day for safety. The house is small, licensed by Wisconsin's Department of Social Services, so folks get more personal care. Even those with mobility troubles can get non-ambulatory care services so they don't need to worry about getting left out. Rooms often come furnished and have community features like a kitchen, a telephone in each room, and an emergency alert system in case someone falls or has another problem. There's a community dining room, common areas for relaxing, and a garden and walking paths outside so residents can get fresh air. The staff can even help arrange mobile barbers or hairdressers for convenience.
Residents can take part in scheduled activities like movie nights, music therapy, exercise, pet therapy, or outdoor trips, and sometimes there are community social events in the evening. Transportation is available for doctor appointments, shopping, or spiritual gatherings so folks can still get out and about if they want, and there is parking too. The building itself is wheelchair accessible, with features made to help reduce confusion and prevent wandering if someone has dementia. These programs and supports help each person stay as independent and comfortable as possible in a homelike setting, and everyone's included in daily life, even if their needs change over time, which provides a sense of stability that can mean a lot as people age.
