Matthews of Neenah sits on West American Drive in Neenah, Wisconsin, and has about 16 beds, making it a medium-sized community where folks often know each other's names. Residents pick from different studio room styles depending on what feels most comfortable, and there are home care services for those who'd rather stay in their own houses but still need a hand. The place covers a wide range of care levels, including assisted living, nursing home services, and skilled nursing, so older adults can get daily help or even more advanced care like rehabilitation and medical attention when necessary. For people dealing with memory issues like dementia or Alzheimer's, they have a memory care section in a separate building that's built to help folks stay safe and calm, and the staff there plans special activities to keep minds busy. The assisted living part focuses on giving a supportive setting where residents can stay as independent as they're able, and this independence gets backed up with help like bathing, meals, and staff around all hours in case something happens. Meals are provided every day, and there's a full activities calendar meant to get people moving, talking, and staying as sharp as they can be, whether that means devotional services, outings, sitting in common areas, or getting hair done by the onsite beautician.
For those needing skilled care, trained medical staff's always available, and nurses stay on site, plus visiting nurses, podiatrists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech therapists come regularly if a doctor says it's needed. This place can help diabetics, even with insulin injections and sliding scale therapy, and can work with folks who need help with moving, including non-ambulatory residents with lifts, or those who can manage their own incontinence. If someone needs hospice or just short-term respite care, that's also an option. Amenities like wheelchair accessible showers and full tubs fit a variety of needs. Seniors can age in place, moving between different levels of care as health changes without needing to move away, which matters to a lot of people. Residents can smoke outdoors, and the property sits on a bus line while also offering parking and complimentary rides. Staff stays awake around the clock for emergencies, and men and women as young as 55 years old can live here. Matthews of Neenah keeps a community-driven approach, focusing on personalized plans and activities so each resident feels comfortable, cared for, and supported no matter what they need, and folks thinking about senior living often appreciate knowing who will care for them and how daily life might feel.
