Christian Homestead sits on West Brown Street in Waupun, Wisconsin, and offers both assisted living and memory care in a smaller, close community setting, with a total of 36 beds across Homestead I and Homestead II, and is licensed as a community-based residential facility by Wisconsin's Department of Social Services, which means the state checks in on their services and safety. The building includes private bedrooms and bathrooms for each resident and comes with a twin bed, nightstand, and wardrobe, and families can add decorations or keepsakes to make rooms more comfortable if they want, and phone and WiFi are in each room. Residents get 24-hour supervision and support from caregivers like certified nursing assistants, and help with bathing, eating, dressing, medication, and two-person transfers happens as needed, just like help with insulin shots when needed, so people get help with all activities of daily living.
Meal and dining services include daily home-cooked meals plus special diet accommodations upon request, and staff can handle meal planning for unique health needs, and food gets served in a big dining room which feels homelike, so everyone can eat together if they want, and there are snack times, too. Christian Homestead offers spiritual activities and faith-based services, reflecting their Christian focus, and devotional gatherings and access to local religious services or spiritual support is available for those who want it, and they also help arrange rides to church and other religious centers if people need transportation.
The community features activity programs that try to keep people of all abilities involved, like music therapy, pet therapy, board games, and daily planned events, so there's always something to do, and there are bigger social events like movie nights, craft sessions, fitness and wellness programs, and community night gatherings, all happening on a set schedule, and the staff encourages relaxed activities outside on the secured patio area with private wooded views, plus there are walking paths, garden spaces, and a four-season room meant for quiet time or visiting with family. There's also an onsite beauty salon, a sauna or jacuzzi, a fitness room, a reading or book room, and game rooms, and there's regular housekeeping, laundry service, and full housekeeping for all the rooms.
Christian Homestead also offers memory care for residents with Alzheimer's and other types of dementia, with programs meant to reduce confusion and prevent wandering, using secure outdoor spaces and alert systems, and staff trained in memory care help residents keep personalized routines and do activities made for people with dementia, including therapies designed to promote recall, comfort, and a sense of well-being. The community can provide hospice care and respite care, and will work with rehabilitation, nursing, and nutrition consultants through its connections with the Christian Home & Rehabilitation Center, bringing in services like wound care or rehab support as needed.
Residents can pay privately, use long-term care insurance, or use Veterans Aid and Attendance if eligible, which gives different families options for covering care. Transport to doctor's appointments, errands, and shopping happens by arrangement, and the staff work with hospitals, therapy professionals, and primary care doctors, coordinating extra health services right from the facility when needed. There's attention to non-ambulatory and incontinence care, as well as specialized support for mild cognitive impairment or more advanced needs, with mental wellness programs and structured routines. Special features at Christian Homestead also include a strong sense of community, faith-inspired values in daily life, meal plans by in-house chefs or meal planners, and amenities designed to make living easier and more comfortable, so people can focus on feeling well and spending time with others.
