Rem Wisconsin II Nicholson sits in South Milwaukee at 1009 Nicholson Ave, and serves as a small, licensed senior care facility for up to six residents, so people get a quieter, closer atmosphere where staff really get to know you, and they've got everything set up for day-to-day living with memory care, assisted living, respite, and hospice support, so folks struggling with dementia or other health needs can stay comfortable and watched over. They offer single-bedroom units, shared living quarters, and small, practical studios, and if you want, they'll provide furnished rooms, and everything is set up to be easy to move into. Each resident can get help with bathing, dressing, hygiene, transfers, and incontinence needs, and for folks who need extra help, trained caregivers can help with feeding, medication, reminders for bathroom visits, and non-ambulatory care, and the team is always around, 24 hours a day. There's a state-licensed nurse and other licensed staff who coordinate with outside healthcare providers to keep up with your changing health, and pharmacy services are available.
You'll find homemade meals three times a day, with special menus for high blood pressure, diabetes, allergy needs, or whatever the doctor prescribes, and if someone needs feeding by spoon, that's available, too, and the dining room is set up for comfort, with easy-to-read menus and personalized dining assistance, and snacks are always on hand. They get folks up and moving through physical therapy and a fitness plan, and they organize regular wellness and exercise sessions, and there's a massage therapist for comfort and relaxation. Around the property, you see gardens, a pet-friendly area, greenhouse, courtyard, walking paths, and a snack shop, so residents can get fresh air, enjoy a pet, or relax inside the reading room or game room. There are planned social activities every day-music programs, pet therapy visits, craft sessions, board games, art programs, movie nights on big screen TVs, and the community puts on evening social events now and then, so there's nearly always something to do.
If you need to see a doctor, go on errands, or attend religious services, staff will coordinate transportation, and there's a moving-in team to help make things smooth. The facility is secured for memory care, with alarms, locked doors, and wandering prevention, and caregivers put together custom service plans based on a detailed needs assessment, tailoring care for each person. Residents can use a barbershop, see a mobile hairdresser, and visit either a hot tub, steam room, or wellness area if they'd like, and staff manage medications, reminders, and offer help on a schedule that follows each person's routine and preferences, and basic housekeeping and laundry are handled by staff, too.
Rem Wisconsin II Nicholson is state-licensed and registered as a Community Based Residential Facility, and operates under the "Inc." designation, and doesn't accept Medicare unless the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has certified you. What you'll find here are small comforts, three real meals each day, and a quiet space, with friendly care from a dedicated team, all organized to make sure seniors with memory or health needs have what they need in a setting that tries to respect personal choices.
