Bethesda Lutheran Communities Concord Ave 1 sits at 481 S Concord Ave in Watertown, Wisconsin, and since it only has four licensed beds in an Adult Family Home, people living there often know each other well, and the staff can keep things personal. The community's small, home-like setting lets older adults get help with daily things like bathing, dressing, moving around, taking medicine, and other activities of daily living, and there's always someone around because the supervision is twenty-four hours a day. There are both private and shared rooms, with furnished options and even phone access in the rooms, plus a safe environment since the building offers 24-hour security and an emergency alert system. Residents can have small pets, and when it comes to eating, staff provide meals and snacks and can adjust for allergies and diets for diabetes, and for those who want, there's a private dining section and a snack shop. The community supports seniors who need help transferring or non-ambulatory care, and the staff nurse is licensed.
People living there can use walking trails, a garden for activities, a cafe, and a laundry service, and someone will help with housekeeping, dry cleaning, and coordinating move-ins. There's a big focus on health, with routine health checks, medication help, pharmacy services, occupational therapy, and case management. The staff tailor care plans and handle things like continence management and short-term care, plus they offer help with memory care and dementia under some conditions, and they support transfers, managing shower needs, and ambulation. Residents can join social activities, movie nights, gardening, faith-based Lutheran services, and group events, while outdoor lovers appreciate the walking paths provided. Extra help like transportation, parking, and even some concierge services is available, and seniors can join daily fitness activities as well. While the community doesn't accept Medicare and isn't certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, it does try to give families a sense of relief by making sure both long-term care and health coordination are at the forefront, and with only four assisted living units, residents get attention in a close, familiar setting.
