Ohio House sits in the West View neighborhood of West Allis, Wisconsin, as a medium-sized, community-based residential facility that's been around since 2007, and what you'll find here are 8 licensed beds, each set up to help seniors who need different levels of care-like assisted living, memory care for folks dealing with Alzheimer's or other memory issues, skilled nursing for heavier healthcare needs, and hospice care when the time comes, plus respite care in case families or caregivers need a break. The facility holds a license from Wisconsin's Department of Social Services, number 8786, and operates several small houses across Milwaukee County, each holding four to eight residents, giving things a more homey and close-knit feel-places like 99th St House, 98th Street Schlinger, 96th and 107th Street Houses, 117th and 118th Street AFH, and 2nd Century, where care stays personal and straightforward with hands-on help for things like bathing, dressing, grooming, mobility, and getting in and out of the shower, and these places are built to handle both ambulatory and non-ambulatory folks.
The staff handle medication management, 24-hour supervision, housekeeping, laundry, and coordinate health care visits, plus they'll prep meals-making changes for diabetes or high blood pressure when needed-and serve meals either in the dining room or in resident rooms, plus there's always help available for taking medicine or managing more complicated conditions. If what's needed is memory care, the setup includes protected areas to keep people safe, activities meant to engage those living with memory loss, and special programs for cognitive support, plus for social and recreational needs, there are movie nights, arts and crafts, board games, music therapy, and sometimes activities involving pets. Residents often get to relax in gardens, use walking paths, read in a book room, work out in a fitness area, or visit spa or salon services, and the staff also look after transportation so folks can make medical appointments, get to the store, or attend spiritual activities.
Ohio House has the ability to offer senior apartments, independent living, skilled nursing, and home care services, and everything leans toward supporting seniors with daily chores and making sure people who need help with mobility, transfers, and special diets have what they need every day, and this way, families know their loved ones are both safe and occupied. Move-in coordination aims to make changes easier, and the entertainment and activities calendar helps fight loneliness, plus there's always an emergency alert system in place for safety. Staff here work to be advocates for residents and support the rights of folks in long-term care, and even though the facility doesn't take Medicare unless certified by CMS, they welcome people who need a range of assisted living and long-term services, all within the same supportive, homelike environment where daily life gets attention and care, without frills or overstatements.
