Viola House is a small assisted living community at 509 S Wagoner Ave, Viola, Wisconsin, serving up to eight residents in a cozy ranch-style, one-level home that's fully handicap accessible and easy to get around with wheelchairs or walkers, and the rooms are already furnished so residents don't have to worry about bringing a lot with them, and there's a spacious kitchen, dining room, family rooms, and laundry facilities right inside the house so everything's close by, and it's all set up for men and women who might have mental illness or developmental disabilities and can be ambulatory, semi-ambulatory, or even non-ambulatory, but might still need some help responding to emergencies or moving around safely, and this is not a skilled nursing home, but a place where folks get an intermediate level of care if they can't manage living alone but don't need the constant medical care that a nursing facility would provide.
Residents get help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, grooming, meal preparation, and medication management, with meals that can be changed for diabetes or other special diets, and homemade food is provided every day-including for people who need allergy-friendly or low-salt meals-and the caregivers on duty offer personalized services around the clock, while the manager is always on call for emergencies. The facility brings a family-like approach, aiming to make everyone feel safe and valued in a small, close-knit group, and staff also helps with laundry, housekeeping, transportation for things like doctor visits, faith-based events, and shopping trips, and there's a mobile hairdresser for convenience.
The place includes private bedrooms, cozy common areas for relaxing, a book room, spa, wellness room for exercise routines, barber or parlor, and a dining area for meals, and it features landscaped gardens and walking paths for strolls outdoors, so residents can enjoy some fresh air and sunshine when they want. Viola House offers engaging daily activities, with events like music therapy, animal therapy, social nights, board games, and group fitness classes, plus plenty of crafts and community-sponsored programs held at their community center, all focused on keeping residents mentally and socially active, and there's even respite care if someone only needs to stay a short while.
The facility is owned and operated by Assisted Care, Inc., and always has a care staff member present, with the manager available by phone any time, and all areas have emergency alert systems for extra peace of mind, so safety's a top priority, and the staff coordinates with outside health care providers to help with medical needs. Viola House is Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) compliant, which means it meets high standards of care and accessibility. Residents get individual support so their care plan matches their needs-not one-size-fits-all-and everything's set up to help people stay as independent as possible while still having the right help when they need it.
