Community Homestead Altair, license number 14745, sits in Osceola, Wisconsin, in Polk County, where it serves up to three residents at a time in assisted living, fostering a close-knit and peaceful setting that feels more like a home than a big institution, and you know there's always someone nearby for support if you need anything, since staff offer 24/7 help with activities of daily living like bathing, dressing, medication management, meal preparation, and housekeeping. Folks find both private suites and shared rooms here, all fully furnished, with kitchenettes, private bathrooms, air-conditioning, phone service, high-speed internet, and cable TV included, and there's a call system for emergencies, plus service coordination for healthcare appointments or special needs, like if someone needs a diabetic diet or has other dietary restrictions, and all the meals use organic food and fresh ingredients, sourced partly from their own on-site biodiverse garden and dairy farm.
Residents can enjoy outdoor spaces like gardens for fresh air, a spacious dining room for family-style meals, scheduled daily community-sponsored activities, crafts, and social gatherings, and community events such as the August pig roast, with opportunities to take part in activities at the bakery, processing kitchen, or community center, which brings everyone together for life sharing and learning, since Community Homestead Altair takes inspiration from Camphill communities, Anthroposophy, and sustainable living, running on the idea that people of all ages and abilities work and live side by side, including folks with developmental challenges, always respecting each other's faith and growth without discrimination.
There's housekeeping, linen service, laundry, transportation and move-in coordination too, so nobody has to worry about cleaning, driving, or settling in. The staff coordinates with health providers, making sure residents get proper medical attention, help with transfers, and regular rides to the doctor or nearby amenities like pharmacies and parks, with all needs managed for independence and comfort, whether it's for independent living, specialized memory care, respite care, or just ongoing daily support. You'll also find the Community Homestead Altair shop and seasonal CSA program, offering local goods, so life here balances care, connection, events, and a rural, organic lifestyle where everyone tries to support one another and keep things simple and genuine.
