Ellenbecker Adult Family Home sits right at 7463 Brookhaven Dr in West Bend, Wisconsin, and you'll find it doesn't hold a lot of people, because it has four assisted living units set up as shared apartments, one-bedroom units with generous closet space, and a couple of small studios that have everything someone might need, and inside the rooms, residents can use telephones and the furniture's all there, so you don't have to bring your own unless you want to. This place is licensed under Wisconsin license number 15699, which matters for peace of mind, and the building's well-equipped for folks who need different kinds of care, like people with Parkinson's or dementia, since they've got trained staff for dementia care, help with transfers, dressing, and they'll do spoon feeding if someone needs it, and if a person's recovering from surgery or dealing with incontinence, or needs individual dining help, those supports are right there along with massage therapy, home health care, occupational therapy, and personal care plans that they update for each person since people's needs change. The staff speaks English, helps people move around, and there's always someone keeping an eye on things, including routine health status checks and medication management, plus they're on top of help with bathing and other daily tasks like laundry and making sure everyone has snacks between meals, and there's a staff dietitian who plans for special diets including diabetic needs or allergy sensitivities, with meals served on schedule in a well-lit dining hall.
Life at Ellenbecker includes support for non-ambulatory folks and those who need low mobility aid, and they offer both scheduled and community-sponsored activities, like movie nights, birthday parties, arts and crafts classes, and computer learning classes, and everybody can use exercise equipment if they want or just take a walk along the garden paths outside. There's a reading room and theatre, and for people who want to stay connected, the place offers WiFi, plus transportation can be arranged for appointments or outings, and they'll even help people move into their new rooms. Amenities include routine housekeeping, laundry, dry cleaning, and bathroom cleaning, and there's parking for folks who drive. They do have emergency alert systems in place to keep people safe, and family members can join support groups, and the whole place keeps an eye on health and wellness using tailored care for each resident, trying to make daily life smoother for everyone living in the 53090 zip code area. If someone needs help coordinating care or just simple help getting dressed, Ellenbecker's staff is ready, and they try to make sure there are snacks, a friendly word, and a shared sense of calm every day.
