Maplewood Cottage sits in Waterford, Wisconsin, licensed as a Community Based Residential Facility and designed to help older adults with daily living, so you'll find this place spread out on one level, made up of four cozy cottages, each home to about twelve seniors, so it doesn't feel big or crowded, and every resident has a private bedroom and bathroom, with open kitchens where meals are made and served family style, and folks can help plan and prepare the food if they like, and the meals are home-cooked, with nutrition in mind, and always adjusted if someone needs special kinds for their health. You've got options for studio or one-bedroom apartments in the cottages, with features like large closets, safety features, non-slip flooring, and each apartment gets its own washer and dryer, plus modern appliances in the kitchen, so you don't have to worry there.
The place offers assisted living, memory care, and respite care. There are caring staff members who help with bathing, dressing, toileting, moving around, managing medications, and other daily needs, and they're there 24 hours a day, with a full-time nurse and regular doctor visits if needed, along with specialists like podiatrists, physical therapists, and even traveling hairdressers, and there's on-site lab work, which makes some things simpler. The staff helps seniors with Alzheimer's or dementia using a secured, but not locked, environment to reduce the risk of wandering, and there are memory care activities and events for those folks. There's also help with incontinence, diabetes, Parkinson's, mobility, and hospice or palliative care when needed.
You get basic utilities, housekeeping, bed-making, and linen service, with apartment cleaning and maintenance part of the deal, and there's a regular focus on keeping the place safe, neat, and comfortable. Pets are allowed with certain rules, so if someone has a companion animal, they'll want to talk through the pet policy. The grounds are landscaped, with paths, patios, and gardens where you can sit or walk, and every cottage has a common room for meals and social programs-movie nights, book room, art and music, computer center, and fitness activities-including exercise spaces, whirlpool tubs, library, salon, barber, and community get-togethers, which are good for feeling at home. If family comes to visit, there are private spaces to spend time together, and you'll find visiting hours are flexible, which can make things easier.
Transportation helps get residents to medical appointments, errands, or religious events. The staff can help with relocation if someone's moving in from far away. Folks will find Wi-Fi, basic cable, security, and options for scheduled programs, outings, and therapy sessions. The facility doesn't accept Medicare unless certified, but it is part of a larger group connected to Elder Care Cottages of WI and Rosewood Oakwood Cottage, which means they have experience running this kind of setting, and they aim for a Christian community feel, where people know each other, have companionship, and a sense of belonging, and overall the environment stays friendly, home-like, and focused on keeping folks well cared for through all stages of aging.
