Aurora Residential Alternatives 118 is a small assisted living community in Waupaca, Wisconsin, licensed under #12506, and you'll find it at N2349 Ashley Court. The place focuses on personal care and attention, taking care of seniors like family, and the setting keeps things close and home-like, never too big or overwhelming, with a capacity listed as 11 residents but sometimes listed as 3 or 4 units, depending on room types and arrangements. Residents get help with daily things like bathing, dressing, taking medicine, moving around, and eating when needed, and staff stays awake through the night so there's always someone ready if someone needs help. People can choose different types of rooms, from studios to shared spaces, with private ADA bathrooms, air-conditioning, and emergency call systems in every room for safety and peace of mind. Meals are prepared in-house, sometimes with organic food, and everyone can eat together in the dining room, with chef-prepared meals, all-day snacks, and diets that work for diabetes or allergies, even easy-to-read menus to make things simpler for folks.
The community offers more than basics, though, with a beauty shop, an on-site salon and barbershop, laundry and housekeeping, linen services, transportation to appointments, and even valet parking for visitors or trips out. There's a reading section, library, fitness area, movie nights, arts and crafts, a therapy and wellness space, massage therapy, and a walking path and garden for sitting or strolling, so folks can stay busy if they like. Doctor check-ups happen right there every month, and a registered nurse visits too, so care is always close. Internet, cable TV, and phones are included, and some rooms have kitchenettes for anyone who likes a little more independence; pets are allowed, which makes the place feel warmer, and there's a focus on balancing independence with support, never pushing anyone too far.
Aurora Residential Alternatives 118 also supports people who need memory care, respite care for short stays, Parkinson's support, or even therapy like speech or physical rehab. Special care plans get made for each person, and help comes with things like feeding by spoon, putting on clothes, or transferring in and out of chairs. There's a secure entry with keyless systems and cameras, plus 24/7 on-site supervision for safety, and family support groups bring everyone together if people want extra help. Each day has scheduled activities-games, movies, community trips-and there's a strong effort to keep everyone active and connected. Everything comes with a warm, relaxed feeling you notice right away, and everything about the place is set up for both comfort and care.
