Spring Crest

Spring Crest is a licensed Community Based Residential Facility (CBRF) in Wausau, WI, with a Class C Nonambulatory rating and room for eight adults who may have developmental disabilities, mental illness, brain injuries, or physical disabilities, and while the place serves the elderly and those with memory challenges as well, its staff tries to help with daily life by offering 24-hour supervision, help with things like bathing and dressing, transfers, and medication management, and there's always someone around so no one feels alone, with the building itself set up to be fully accessible, including wheelchair support, private rooms, and private bathrooms in certain areas like in Serenity Living LLC and Stoney River Memory Care which specializes in care for dementia and Alzheimer's. People can find a calm, friendly environment at Spring Crest, with meals made and dietary needs like diabetic or allergy-friendly options handled, laundry and housekeeping taken care of, and cable TV, phone, and Wi-Fi in every room so it feels a bit more like home, plus transportation is arranged for doctor visits or outings, and there's always a schedule of activities-movie nights, walks on the paths, and time in the gardens, with a real sense of community helped along by games and group events. Spring Crest supports mental health with services like outpatient treatment, access to clinics such as the Marathon County Behavioral Health Clinic, and special groups for adolescents dealing with depression or anxiety, and someone can get crisis help right away if needed, with resources for substance abuse, connections to Mobile Crisis Services, and even inpatient treatment, along with support lines for LGBTQ youth like the GLBT National Youth Talkline and the Trevor Project Crisis Line, plus help for families through mental health counseling and referral support. For folks needing extra care, there are hospice, respite, and home health options, and there's a focus on keeping caregivers supported, too, with equipment lending for needs at home and extra caregiver help when needed. Veterans find dedicated support through programs like Patriot K9S training or help from the Veteran's Department Economic Support, and people who live here can join self-help groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous and get guidance when facing problems like domestic violence or abuse, with links to Women's Community Safe Shelter and HAVEN facilities for safety. For learning and working, Spring Crest partners with resources like Northern Valley Industries for job support, classes at Northcentral Technical College, and full access to amenities like a dining room, all-day dining options, and community areas. Staff coordinate with healthcare providers so health routines stay consistent, and the whole team tries to make the community feel safe, respectful, and comfortable, letting each person have as much independence and dignity as possible while keeping help close by when it's needed. Spring Crest doesn't take Medicare unless certified, and the cost for care is generally less than a nursing home, which can help families. The Department of Aging or local veteran's services checks in to make sure everything follows the rules, and people can always find extra support for seniors, those with disabilities, and their caregivers, making Spring Crest a place where someone can live with support and peace of mind.
