Cedar Ridge Elder Services II is a locally owned Community Based Residential Facility, or CBRF, in Wisconsin, that provides care for adults 55 and older, and some pets are welcome too, which is nice for people who want a little extra companionship, and you'll find it supports people with assisted living, memory care, board and care home, independent living, home care, and respite care options, so it covers quite a few needs. The place has 24-hour staffing with personal care assistants and a part-time nurse, and people are there to help with bathing, dressing, transfers, medication management, meals, health monitoring, and almost anything else that someone might need on a daily basis-they've got room for up to six residents, and the care and attention can get pretty personalized that way. The building's set up in a circular layout with resident rooms all around the edge, which makes it easy to get around, and there's a central kitchen, shared bathrooms, and laundry in the middle, so nothing feels too far away, and every room's got its own air conditioning, phone, and TV hookups, with Wi-Fi too, so folks can keep comfortable and connected, and the rooms even come furnished, which helps folks settle in.
Cedar Ridge Elder Services II follows all the licensing requirements by the State of Wisconsin with license number 11517, so that means it's under certain rules that mean safety's always watched over, and residents get a keyed main entry, a security system, and a monitoring setup that alerts staff if someone leaves the building, which matters a lot when memory care's needed, and they do support people with Alzheimer's and dementia, including special programming and activities that help keep minds engaged. People there also get three balanced meals a day with snacks, and staff can manage all sorts of diets, including diabetes and allergy-sensitive diets-they're also able to handle hospice and respite care as needed, which is important for families seeking short-term stays or end-of-life comfort, and they coordinate with healthcare providers whenever residents have ongoing medical needs or need something changed about their care.
You'll find a lot of activities going on, because they've got an arts and crafts area, cooking club, game nights, live music, gardening groups-both indoor and outdoor-movie nights, and a book room for people who want something quieter, plus outings and field trips. They really try to include everyone, even offering activity programs for those with dementia, so people can join in as they're able. Social spots like the community dining room, party space, TV lounges, and a recreation room give people space to spend time together, and there's a secured shared courtyard, plus patios, gardens, and evening community events, which are especially nice in warmer months. Some pretty special touches include a small aviary and aquarium that bring a little extra life into the place, and a hot tub, steam or health room, and beauty salon for residents to use, because feeling your best can matter a lot, and you can even get your hair cut on-site.
There's transportation arranged for medical appointments and other errands or activities, and parking for both residents and guests, so visits go smoothly. Staff handles the housekeeping, laundry, and linens too, so residents don't have to worry about all the everyday chores, with added services like medicine reminders, nurse supervision, and behavioral management for anyone who needs a little extra support. Some pets are allowed, as long as they fit the community's rules, which makes it feel more like home for those who miss their animals. The focus really stays on supporting each person's needs with tailored care and a warm, community feeling, and the small size makes it feel like folks really get to know one another.
