Doherty Home sits on N7855 Little Coffee Road in Watertown, Wisconsin, where you'll find a quiet, medium-sized assisted living community licensed for eight older adults, with its license ID listed as 11631 and 14215, and the State of Wisconsin has certified it for both Assisted Living and Memory Care. The building has a mix of semi-private bedrooms, one-bedroom units, and well-outfitted studios, so residents can choose the setup that feels most comfortable, and each room comes furnished to help residents settle in quickly. Some people enjoy the book room or reading area, while others take advantage of the greenhouse, walking paths, and a garden for stretching legs or just relaxing a bit outside, and when the weather's nice, folks often gather for outdoor relaxation and social time. Doherty Home uses a secured space to help keep those with memory loss, including Alzheimer's, safe from wandering or getting lost.
The staff at Doherty Home pays close attention to each resident, and their support seems well-suited for folks who need a lot of help, whether it's everyday bathing, dressing, managing medicine, transfers, or getting in and out of showers. Help extends to two-person transfers and insulin shots if needed, day or night, and there's always a staff member awake, so residents don't have to wait for help. For medical needs, Doherty Home arranges rides to doctor visits and shopping trips or church outings, and the staff coordinates with healthcare providers to make sure medical plans are followed. No Medicare accepted here unless there's a special certification, so payment usually comes from private funds, Veterans Aid and Attendance, or long-term care insurance, and prices differ based on support needs, room types, and services requested, with assisted living starting at $3,000 per month.
Doherty Home provides three homemade meals every day, offering changes for special diets, whether that's for high blood pressure, diabetes, or food allergies, and residents eat in a social dining room that encourages new friendships. If someone wants a haircut or styling, there's a mobile stylist who visits to keep folks looking their best, and the facility takes care of housekeeping, laundry, and bathroom cleaning. Memory Care at Doherty Home includes daily planned activities for people with Alzheimer's or other types of memory loss-things like animal therapy, board games, music therapy, movies, and even exercise sessions, with both group and private options. There's always some community program running, like creative arts, movie nights, or social evenings, which helps people stay active and connected, and a wellness plan encourages regular exercise and health checks. People can relax in the hot tub or steam room, play games in a community room, or just share a cup of coffee in the cafe or community kitchen, with wifi available throughout much of the facility.
Residents have emergency call systems in rooms for safety, and the home tries to provide a respectful, caring environment by setting up care plans specific to each person's needs. Doherty Home offers non-ambulatory care for those with mobility limits, along with hospice and respite stays for shorter-term needs. The staff supports activities of daily living, so people don't have to worry about the basics like grooming or even eating, and the schedule has enough variety between education programs, social activities, and entertainment that most residents find something to enjoy. All in all, Doherty Home tends to be preferred by seniors who want a smaller, more private place where their care needs are understood, and where daily life runs simply and calmly.
