Autumn Oaks Assisted Living sits in Slinger, Wisconsin, with the address listed as 227 and 229 E Washington St, and offers state-licensed supportive living with care going beyond meals and a room, so folks who need help with bathing, dressing, walking, nutrition, and medication get steady support, and staff watch for safety and health around the clock, which some families find brings peace of mind. The community has private apartments, some in renovated homes and some in newer buildings, and residents can furnish and decorate their own places, or keep it simple if that's what they like, with options for studios, one-bedrooms, or two-bedrooms, and pets are allowed. The facility has a two-story building with good natural light, activity rooms, and things like laundry and housekeeping included, and all meals served restaurant-style, and the dining is adjusted for diabetic needs.
There's staff on-site twenty-four hours, and the trained care team helps with grooming, medications, and mobility-and, folks with memory loss, including Alzheimer's and early to moderate dementia, can move into the dedicated Memory Care or Alzheimer's/Dementia Care Units, where the team runs six daily activities from brain exercises, games, flower arranging, and baking, to group walks and Scrabble matches, hoping to slow down memory decline and keep bodies and minds active. Each resident has a care assessment when they move in, so the services match their situation, whether it's stand-by help, daily tasks, safety checks, or monitoring medical conditions like diabetes. Autumn Oaks also supports people needing short stays, so caregivers at home can take a break, or residents can recover after a hospital visit, and respite care is available for both short and longer periods.
Folks who don't need full-time nursing home care but do need more than simple help can live at Autumn Oaks, and the facility classifies who can live there by mobility and mental ability, with Class AA for those who can leave the building by themselves, and more supportive classes like AS and CNA for people who need some help moving or getting out in emergencies. Nurses can give up to three hours of skilled care weekly for those who need it, but families with residents needing more can ask for exemptions, if needed.
There are also specialized memory care programs and Alzheimer's specialty care offered across more than one location, using different care units, and there's support for ambulation, stand-by help, podiatry, diabetic care, and on-site laboratory work, plus a beauty salon for folks wanting to keep up appearances. Amenities make life more comfortable, such as scheduled outings, activity options, laundry, and housekeeping. Seniors get three meals each day, and in between meals, there are programs for exercise, socialization, and rest. For paying, Autumn Oaks Assisted Living has several prices, sometimes all-inclusive or paid for as needed, and they accept Community Options Program (COP) or Family Care funds, so some financial help comes through local agencies if a resident qualifies.
Autumn Oaks supports seniors seeking a middle ground-folks who can't safely live alone, but who aren't quite ready for a skilled nursing facility, and the facility maintains a warm and safe environment that feels like home to many. The staff strives to offer companionship and a sense of community through group activities and family advisory services, and the location near Slinger lets families visit or stay involved. Overall, with choices for living arrangements, help with daily life, and specialized memory care, Autumn Oaks gives residents and families options and support that cover both the basics and some unique memory and dementia needs.
