The Cottages on Golden Pond Memory Care sits in a quiet spot in Shawano, Wisconsin, with a view of a private, sparkling blue pond and a large center fountain, and walking up to 113 Madison Way you'll see it's a medium-sized assisted living community with 33 spacious deluxe apartments and 22 private suites, each with a full private bathroom and choices between one- and two-bedroom layouts, and lots of homes have kitchenettes, balconies or patios for fresh air and a bit of peace. The whole place is set up for comfort and safety, offering round-the-clock care from state-certified staff who know dementia and memory care, supporting people living with Alzheimer's and other types of memory loss, and residents get help any time they need it, with a 24-hour call system and staff always ready for things like bathing, dressing, medication management, and transfers if moving gets hard.
Community life here means there's always something happening, whether in the open-concept kitchen that draws folks in for meals and conversation, or in the other common areas, like the library with a fireplace, the card room, the arts room, or the snack bar and dining space that serves home-cooked meals including options for allergies or diabetes, unlimited snacks, and always a spot for coffee and company, and for folks who want quiet time there's a private chapel, a three-seasons sunroom, and peaceful outdoor patios behind secure gates right by the pond. The buildings and rooms are decorated to feel home-like, with sensory furnishings picked for calm and comfort, and there are even accessible features like elevators and bathrooms set up for wheelchairs and walkers, so everyone gets around just fine.
Folks living here get a personalized care plan, drawn up for each person's needs and memory challenges, and care gets backed up by regular RN visits, podiatry, and in-house doctors, with transportation on hand so nobody misses important appointments, and for those needing a break now and then, respite care is on offer for short stays. Housekeeping, laundry, and linen services happen every week, utilities are included except for the phone, and there's help for emotional support, hospice care, and nutrition too, so needs get met on all sides, and the staff keep families in the loop and offer support when needed. People here can garden, walk safe paths outdoors, join exercise and therapy groups in the on-site room, take part in movie nights, crafts, worship, and special community-sponsored events, and there's even a whirlpool spa for sore muscles, so days pass with a good mix of activity and rest.
The Cottages on Golden Pond Memory Care stays regulated and licensed as a Community-Based Residential Facility in Wisconsin, with staff trained in dementia care and plenty of security for folks who wander, so families know loved ones stay safe. There's storage, garages, emergency alert systems, and furnished common spaces for private visits if family drops by. This spot focuses on helping people keep their independence as much as possible, making comfort and safety a priority, and making sure there's always care, company, and peaceful views to enjoy.
