Windy Oaks is a small assisted living community in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin, at 11831 120th Court, where there's only space for eight residents in a home-like setting, so everyone gets to know each other well and the staff can focus on what each person needs at their own pace, which can be a real comfort as folks age. The place offers assisted living, memory care for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, and even independent living options if someone's mostly able to care for themselves but wants quick help on hand. There's respite care for those who just need a short stay or if caregivers at home want a break. There's also long-term residential care for seniors who need more daily support.
Rooms are fully furnished and most have their own space, sometimes even a kitchenette, which helps if folks still want to do a few things independently. The staff here, described as friendly, joyful, and kind, provide 24-hour supervision and help with just about all activities of daily living, including bathing, dressing, and transfers, along with incontinence and non-ambulatory care for those who need it. Housekeeping, laundry, and linen services come with the home, and the rooms have telephone, cable, and Wi-Fi.
The meals are all planned by chefs and diet experts, and the dining room serves meals on a schedule, but lets folks eat throughout the day if they wish. Anyone with dietary restrictions or allergies gets their needs handled-including those on diabetes diets-and the food's known for being both tasty and healthy. They also have move-in help and make it easier for new residents to settle in.
Residents can join scheduled daily activities and community-sponsored events, with options like movie nights and plenty of games or social gatherings, plus a walking path and outdoor garden space for fresh air and easy movement. Windy Oaks arranges rides to doctor appointments and handles medication management, so health needs don't get overlooked, and coordinates with healthcare providers as needed.
There's an emergency alert system, skilled nursing, and memory care on site, so residents get a good mix of independence and support depending on how much help is needed, and there's a focus on keeping up dignity and personal needs. Folks live with either others or in their own studio-style furnished apartments, which helps them feel at home. Wi-Fi and telephones are in each room.
Windy Oaks is a licensed Community Based Residential Facility with eight licensed beds. Medicare payment's not accepted unless the facility has the right certification. The place aims to give seniors a friendly, social environment with safe care, reliable support, and activities to help them keep enjoying life as much as possible.
