Residence by Rennes-Assisted Living/Memory Care - Peshtigo sits nestled in the woods right next to Rennes Health & Rehab Center-Peshtigo East, where folks can see wildlife right out the big windows, get fresh air on outdoor walking paths, and sit outside under gazebo-shaded patios. The community is part of Arbor Village Inc. in Peshtigo, WI, and is a licensed Community Based Residential Facility (CBRF) with space for up to 29 individuals, and it offers up to 50 licensed beds. People living here often need more than room and board, so they get help with bathing, dressing, toileting, getting around, eating right, medications, health monitoring, and keeping safe. Residents also get help with daily needs like meals, cleaning, laundry, linen changes, and medication watching, along with support for staying social and joining group activities based on what they're interested in, plus there's a big multi-purpose room with a fireplace and kitchenette for gatherings. Folks who need extra care get skilled nursing support, usually up to 3 hours a week but sometimes more if there's an exception.
This place has private apartments unless a couple moves in together, and sometimes residents bring their own furniture and decorate as they like, but some rooms come furnished except for personal clothing. Big, accessible bathrooms are designed with safety in mind. The staff includes 24-hour team members trained in dementia care, and registered nurses are on-site to help. There's also on-site physical, speech, and occupational therapy, which is handy for changing health needs, and the facility supports folks with memory impairments like dementia or Alzheimer's disease. Memory care services focus on keeping everyone as independent as possible while watching for any changes, and there are therapy options for people who have trouble swallowing, remembering things, or understanding.
Fees can be all-inclusive, ala carte, or on a modified plan, and sometimes there are extra up-front costs like entrance, application, or security deposit fees. Some will qualify for financial support through community programs like COP or Family Care, which get managed through the county's Aging & Disability Resource Center. The community doesn't accept Medicare unless they've been certified for it. The facility holds different licensure classes, which means they can care for a range of conditions, including folks who can get around on their own, those who need a steady arm nearby, and residents who can't walk and need help responding to fire alarms.
Every week, residents' rooms get cleaned, laundry gets done, and linens are changed, so folks don't need to worry about the basics. The residence has an emergency call system for safety, worship services for those interested, and beautician or barber services on-site for haircuts or a little pampering. There's Wi-Fi, cable TV, and telephones available, and the private rooms can fit family gatherings when visitors stop by. The building offers state-of-the-art security and safety systems, and there's always a staff presence for peace of mind. Living here means getting long-term, non-acute care in a setting that balances independence, privacy, and safety while making it easier for families to worry less about their loved ones.
