Oaks At Northern Lights sits at 702 Bratley Drive in Washburn, Wisconsin, tucked into a quiet spot that feels safe and welcoming, and with only 17 residents at a time, seniors really get to know one another and enjoy a smaller, homelike setting. Health Dimensions Group helps manage the community and takes care of the different services, so you'll see options like independent living, assisted living, respite care, memory care, long-term skilled nursing, and even home health care if needed, all in one place, which means residents don't have to move when their needs change. There's 24-hour supervision, an on-site nurse at all times, and the staff steps in to help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, getting around, and managing medicines. Folks who need help with memory, like those with Alzheimer's and dementia, can get special care with secure areas, memory activities, and staff who know how to help them however the day goes.
You'll find private and double rooms, some with their own restrooms, and all are furnished and have phones, cable or satellite TV, and internet access. Meals are cooked on-site with options for allergies and diabetes, and snacks are always there. Shared dining, roomy living and library areas, and a patio with gardens, an aviary, and an aquarium give residents places to gather or watch the birds and fish or enjoy the outdoors. Folks can use walking paths, raised gardens, a fire pit, and a grill outside, or stay in and join movie nights, games, or social events. The activity calendar has things going on daily, both at Oaks and in the town, and devotional services are arranged off-site. There are exercise, therapy, and wellness programs too, with someone handling medication, podiatry, dental, and audiology visits right there in the community, and Eldercare nurses from Essentia Health come once a week for their patients.
Laundry, cleaning, and move-in help happen steady as clockwork, and there's a 24-hour emergency alert system. For comfort and safety, there are two showering and bathing spas, and all the spaces are kept safe with security and exit alerts, which is important for those in memory care. Transportation and parking are available for getting to medical appointments or errands. The meals are well-balanced, and there's always someone to help if dietary needs change. You'll find the Oaks At Northern Lights is set up for seniors who want care that fits them and a community where the staff know them by name, with the peace of mind that someone skilled is always close by.
