Townline Road Residence is a small, licensed assisted living facility in Wautoma, Wisconsin, that serves up to eight residents who need help with daily living but are mostly independent and mobile, and this place stands out for its connection with the Aging & Disability Resource Center and regular surveys by the Department of Aging and Veteran's Services, which help keep things up to standard but don't make it perfect, since every place has its own challenges. The facility's a Community Based Residential Facility (CBRF) with programs designed for people who have mental illness, emotional disturbance, or developmental disabilities, and there are special HCBS-compliant services. Residents live in either private or shared furnished rooms, get three home-cooked meals every day, and help's always nearby for bathing, dressing, housekeeping, medication management, and basic grooming; folks also get 24-hour supervision and emergency alert systems for peace of mind, which matters because some people just need to know someone's close by, even at night. There's transportation for doctor visits, shopping, or religious services, and pharmacies like Pamida and Arbor Drugs are just a mile or so away, while Wild Rose Community Memorial Hospital is under eight miles down the road, so that's not far if something urgent comes up.
Townline Road Residence pays attention to special diets, such as low-salt for blood pressure or special plans for diabetes, and offers on-site activities-things like movies, music, books, art, pet therapy, social nights, and outdoor time in the garden, so folks have ways to enjoy the day or stay as active as they want, and there's a five-bed transitional unit that teaches independent living skills for those hoping to take care of themselves more, with programs in housekeeping, shopping, meal prep, budgeting, grooming, and handling medicines on their own, which helps build confidence for those who want it. The property itself's wheelchair friendly and walk-in accessible, and there are nice features-a book room, fitness and steam rooms, hairdresser, hot tub, recreation areas, and a community garden to sit in when the weather's nice. Transportation arrangements get folks to their appointments or out in the community, and some days include planned trips to restaurants, banks, libraries, post offices, or theaters, which means you don't always have to stay inside if you feel up to going out. Laundry and cleaning get handled by staff, dry cleaning can be arranged, and anyone needing hospice or respite care can find a bed when that's needed, so while the main focus is long-term senior care, there's support for temporary stays or end-of-life needs too, and memory care services help those with early cognitive changes. Regularly scheduled social outings, entertainment, and group activities add variety to daily life, but those looking for a very big, bustling place with lots of beds or Medicare acceptance would need to check elsewhere, since Townline Road Residence is set up for just eight residents at a time and does not accept Medicare unless specifically certified, and with the median area income at $40,788, it reflects the modest, everyday living found around Wautoma. Residents also get help with travel to appointments and social activities, and the community holds evening events, all while offering telephone and social amenities in the shared areas. Housekeeping, laundry, and meal services are included, and care planning involves coordination with healthcare providers. Townline Road Residence stays focused on practical support and a home-like atmosphere, which helps residents stay comfortable and connected, though like any small facility, the fit depends on each individual's needs and preferences.
