Chadwick Street Community Residence sits at 5006 Chadwick Street in Schofield, Wisconsin, and what you find here is a smaller community with only 7 beds, so things stay calm and personal, and everybody gets to know each other after a while since the staff can really focus on each person. The place is licensed in Wisconsin with license number 10812 and serves older adults who want to live on their own but with help nearby when they need it, which can mean staff coming day or night to offer a hand with bathing, dressing, grooming, or getting around, and they know how to handle things like memory care, help for folks who need two people to move them, insulin care, and even feeding by spoon if that's needed. There are studio and one-bedroom apartments, and some come with kitchenettes, furnished rooms, and enough room for storage and wheelchairs, plus non-slip floors for everyone's safety, and pets are welcome if residents want a bit of company.
People who live here get three home-cooked meals each day, and they make sure to offer special diets, for folks who need less salt, or less sugar, or extra healthy meals for high blood pressure or for diabetes, and snacks come out between meals. The chef works there, preparing the food, and if a resident needs help eating or getting to their meal, the staff steps in. There are all kinds of activities you can sign up for, like reading in the book room, movie screenings, music events, board games, computer classes, creative activities, fitness programs, and pet therapy, and if someone enjoys being outside, the place has garden areas, walking paths, and outdoor spots for sitting and socializing. Evening events happen pretty regular, and there are recreation rooms if someone feels like playing games or visiting, and a library for quiet reading.
Staff help with daily living, so a resident can get help with showers, taking medicine, managing diets, and laundry, and the folks working there offer 24-hour supervision for safety, as well as emergency alert systems in case someone needs help quickly. There are nurses on site, health checkups, visits from local doctors, and they'll help coordinate care and therapy if a resident's doctor asks for it, and they keep track of what each person needs through simple service plans. They help arrange rides to the doctor, for errands like shopping, or to religious services, and call up a mobile barber for anyone wanting a haircut or to visit the beauty parlor.
If someone enjoys gathering, there are chapel services, movie nights, and community-sponsored outings, with things scheduled daily so folks stay busy if they want. The community offers both independent and assisted living, along with memory care, hospice, respite care when needed, and they make sure apartments have all utilities included, apartment security, and parking for those who need it. Staff handle upkeep, so families don't need to worry about maintenance. You see a lot of kindness, and the aim is to keep the place warm and home-like, where everyone is respected and feels safe. This facility tries to make everyone feel at home, promoting independence for each resident, and people get support for as much or as little as they want throughout the day.
