Autumn Bay sits at 539 E Wisconsin Avenue in Pewaukee, WI, offering seniors different choices like assisted living, memory care for Alzheimer's and dementia, and even day care or help at home for people who need it; the facility takes private pay, social security, veteran's benefits, and some insurance, and there are different fees depending on what each resident needs, such as for respite stays, buy-in, or for higher levels of personal care, so families can decide what works best. The building itself allows people 55 and older to live in studio, one-bedroom, semi-private, or two-bedroom rooms, and everyone gets access to common rooms, a small library, indoor places for games, movies, special events, an outdoor patio, and a beauty salon where they can get their hair done while being able to step outside for fresh air or smoke if they wish, so there are always things to do if they feel like being social.
Residents who need help with daily life, like getting dressed, bathing, or remembering their medicine, can get that support-there's someone from the staff awake and on duty 24 hours in case anyone needs anything in the night, and nurses are there daily to keep an eye on health needs. The memory care side is locked and separate, so people who get confused or who try to walk away stay safe, sometimes wearing alarms if they leave; this area also manages residents who might act out or need more supervision, and staff use special equipment like mechanical lifts to move people who can't walk on their own, so nobody feels left out or helpless.
For meals, everyone eats on site and usually together; the kitchen staff serves nutritious food made with good ingredients, so residents don't have to worry about shopping, cooking, or cleaning up, plus there's laundry and housekeeping each week, so living spaces stay clean too. Staff can help people stay healthy by checking blood sugar for diabetes, helping with incontinence when residents can manage it themselves, assisting with medicine, and arranging for physical, occupational, or speech therapy if doctors recommend it, so families know their loved ones are getting what's needed to stay well.
Families who are searching for the right fit can speak to a local advisor who will explain costs, help compare care options, and walk through verified reviews from people with first-hand experience, since Autumn Bay uses staff from SeniorAdvisor.com to check details and make sure information is accurate. Residents can enjoy onsite activities, devotional services offsite, and activities that help keep bodies and minds active, so nobody has to feel bored or alone if they don't want to. Community features include safety tools like medical alert systems and medication dispensers, and there's help for people who want better cell phone options or safer homes, which helps everyone feel secure.
People can personalize their rooms, use wheelchair accessible bathrooms, and choose from available suite options if they want more privacy. The facility can handle residents with major behavior issues or those who are at risk of trying to leave, as long as they can participate safely. Autumn Bay is close to the Pewaukee River, so some rooms offer nice views; there's always staff around to help in an emergency, monitor insulin for diabetes, or assist with everyday needs, so seniors and their families can feel supported.
