Eagles Rest Assisted Living sits at 1110 2nd Street in Pepin, Wisconsin, right by the Mississippi River, where the view can be lovely and the air feels fresh, and there's plenty of green space with gardens, winding sidewalks, and places to sit and enjoy the sun or watch the birds. The facility has 44,000 square feet, so there's plenty of room to walk around inside or outside, and they've made sure all the spaces have a home-like feel, with a recent remodel making things feel more comfortable and cozy. Residents can choose private rooms that give plenty of privacy and space for their own things, and the staff, who live in the local area, seem to know folks by name and treat everyone like family, always making sure people feel welcome and heard.
They offer assisted living, independent living, and memory care options, so you'll find support if you need just a little help or more hands-on care, and they're able to help residents who need higher levels of care, including bariatric care for those over 300 pounds, or even hospice and in-home medical services. The facility holds a licensed Community-Based Residential Facility status, with 24-hour on-call nursing and help from trained personal care assistants for things like medication reminders, bathing, and dressing, plus wellness programs and regular health checks. They offer personalized care plans, which means they take care to get to know what each resident needs, whether it's specific diets like diabetic, low fat, or low salt, or reminders to take medicine or help moving about the building.
You'll find a full-time activity director at Eagles Rest, making sure something's always going on, whether it's group games, crafts, music sessions, gardening, or even just quiet time for devotionals, with daily group and individual activities always on the calendar, and the staff do their best to encourage residents to join in and keep moving and thinking. There are common areas set up for socializing or quiet conversation, and a private dining room if residents want to gather for a special meal, and meals are cooked fresh each day, with menus that change to fit residents' needs and preferences. Some like to cook for themselves, and that's okay too, but most folks enjoy the three homemade meals served daily, with snacks and guest meals available if family comes to visit.
The onsite beauty salon offers haircuts and trims, and housekeeping is done daily, including laundry and linen service, though residents can do laundry themselves if they'd rather. There's cable and Wi-Fi, so it's easy to stay in touch with family or keep up with a favorite show, and rooms come furnished or unfurnished, depending on what makes residents comfortable. There are parking spots for residents and guests, and the building includes places for entertainment, fitness, and spiritual life, including devotional services and Veterans Affairs aid assistance.
The building's design keeps safety in mind, with secure common areas and well-lit walking paths inside and out, and the layout feels easy to get around, whether using a walker or wheelchair or just shuffling down the hall on your own time. Folks say there's a strong faith-based and family-centered atmosphere, and the staff seem committed to helping every resident live as independently as possible while staying involved in the small town community outside the doors, so life at Eagles Rest turns out peaceful, with the right help close by for folks who need it.
