Connie Home runs as an Adult Family Home in Oshkosh, WI, with four licensed beds, and focuses a lot on care for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, because there are Memory Care units and Alzheimer's/Dementia Specialty Care throughout the place, and they focus on safety and special activities that help with memory, and there's always 24-hour support if someone needs it. The staff helps with daily things like bathing, dressing, taking medicine, eating, and they can handle transfers and non-ambulatory care, so if someone can't walk on their own they'll still be alright living here. There are scheduled meals with all-day dining, and they can fix special diets if a resident has allergies or diabetes, and there's a dining room along with furnished rooms, so it feels like a home more than a clinic.
Connie Home helps people age in place, which means someone can move in while they're independent and stay as their needs change, and they don't have to move unless they really want to, because there are options for independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, board and care, and strong memory care. There are emergency alert systems, housekeeping, laundry including dry cleaning, plus transportation, and parking for those who need it. Social activities happen in the community space or outside in the garden or on walking paths, and things like movie nights and group events are planned, since being social helps everyone, especially those with dementia or Alzheimer's.
Connie Home doesn't take Medicare unless it's certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, so families need to know that. There's help available for families and regular coordination with doctors and healthcare providers, and staff will keep an eye on residents day and night. There are services that cover all kinds of long-term care, rehabilitation, nursing, and even wound care for those who need it, plus support for daily activities, and management of medication, meals, and personal care. The place is quiet, secure, and tries to feel like a neighborhood home, and plays an important part for older adults and their families who want honest, steady care in a smaller, home-like setting.
