Country House sits at 229 Van Dyke St in Oconto, WI, and gives seniors a place where they can get care and support when living on their own gets to be too much, and you know, you walk in and see that they have furnished rooms, common areas inside for folks to mingle, beautiful gardens outside, and paths to stroll if you feel up to it, and it's all pretty welcoming in a plain and straightforward way. The monthly cost is about $2,423, which fits in with the community's median family income of $44,725, and you've got staff who are there at all times, day or night, to help out with emergencies or daily things like bathing, dressing, and moving from a bed to a chair, which can matter a lot more as time goes on. There's staff that speak English, and the place handles assisted living as well as memory care for folks who need extra help due to dementia or other memory problems, and you'll find a set-up that includes 24-hour supervision, call systems, care with medication, and staff that know how to handle diabetic care, non-ambulatory support, and incontinence issues, so families who worry about those things don't have to wonder if there's help available.
Country House supports residents with daily living, and there's help with things like transferring, laundry, and keeping things tidy around the rooms, and you'll notice they offer cleaning services from regular housekeeping to specialty deep cleans and even have folks who can stay in to help with cooking and chores if that's what's needed. Meals are made on-site, usually one or two a day, and the kitchen staff takes care to offer nutritious meals with special diet needs if someone has diabetes or needs a modified menu, and there's all-day dining set up with table service so people can eat when they're hungry, and you see that kind of thing means a little less to worry about. For folks needing memory care, there's a secured and supervised area, so family doesn't need to worry as much about wandering or getting lost, and people dealing with mild cognitive problems or dementia get care personalized for their needs.
It's also a place that runs devotional activities, movie nights, art sessions, and offsite trips to help keep everyone busy and connected, and if anyone needs hospice or respite care, those services are available too, showing they're set up for short-term or end-of-life support when that's needed, and there's a way for residents to stay engaged mentally, emotionally, and even spiritually, which can get overlooked at times in some places. There's transportation, a barber and salon on-site, housekeepers, a community for socializing, and parking, so life runs a little smoother for both residents and any visitors who stop by. The building's licensed, though it's always smart to double check if you have questions about regulations, and minimum caregiver ratios are in place, so staffing stays steady for better attention and safety. Right now, there aren't any reviews to look at, but the facility keeps to its purpose, giving seniors a safe and warm environment with the help and activities they need to keep as much independence as possible while getting the care they may need as they age.
