Cherish

Cherish is a residential community in Wausau, WI, made for seniors who want care and support while keeping independence, and it has both general senior living at Our House - Wausau and memory care at Our House - Wausau Memory Care for folks with memory loss. The main building has room for 60 people, giving long-term skilled nursing care and short-term rehab, though they also run a smaller Adult Family Home with 4 licensed beds for a home-like setting. Cherish offers assisted living services and memory care, with staff always on-site for help with bathing, dressing, medicine, daily living tasks, transfers, and special diets like diabetes, and you'll find scheduled activities, music, movies, fitness plans, art, reading areas, social events, and yard spaces for walking and sitting outside. Some rooms are private suites with their own bathrooms and kitchenettes, while others are shared, still everyone gets a furnished room and there's air conditioning, cable TV, telephone, and internet, plus emergency alert systems in place for safety. People get meals cooked with organic ingredients, with choices for allergies and medical diets, and you can eat in the dining room on a schedule or pick all-day dining if you want, no stress about cooking or cleaning since housekeeping and laundry are handled for you, even dry cleaning, and there's move-in coordination for new residents too. There's a mobile hairdresser or beauty shop, a jacuzzi, steam room or health area, community game rooms, and staff will help with transportation for doctor's visits, errands, or community spiritual offerings, making it easier for folks with limited ability to get around town. Cherish serves seniors and adults with many needs: people with cognitive issues, memory loss, mental illness, brain injury, developmental or physical disabilities, and even those who are emotionally disturbed, with non-ambulatory care offered. The team coordinates with healthcare providers, helps with medicine, and keeps supervision 24/7, so people feel secure day and night. Maintenance-free living lets residents do as much as they want, and staff supports with personal care so folks can stay as independent as possible, with activities and wellness programs to keep bodies and minds active, whether it's scheduled classes, movie nights, fitness, or music. Cherish is licensed as an Adult Family Home and as an assisted living community, and while insurance matters may vary, the focus is still on care that adapts to each person in a home-like community, aiming for comfort, safety, and connection for all residents.
