The community has one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and studio apartments, with some places like Eden House offering efficiencies and secure entry, and the rooms come with full kitchens, bathrooms, and included appliances like a stove and refrigerator, so you can settle in easy enough. There are wide doorways and elevators for people with mobility needs, and there's always staff around, with 24-hour support at some parts of the facility and awake staff through the night. Folks who need help with daily tasks, medication, bathing, or transfers can get that care here, and there's a call system in every unit if someone needs assistance quickly.
Salem Terrace serves two meals each day in a dining room that lets people eat when they want, and they'll work with special diets like diabetes or allergies, as well as using organic ingredients when possible. Housekeeping, laundry, linen service, and even dry cleaning are regular parts of life, and they'll help coordinate your move-in, too. There's a library, landscaped garden, walking paths, and lounges with fireplaces where people gather, and you'll find a beauty salon and a medical arts room on site. WiFi and cable are included, and all the apartments are air-conditioned. Residents can have pets if they follow the pet policy, and covered parking or garages are available for those who drive, though some options charge extra.
If you're looking for things to do, Salem Terrace plans community and resident-run activities, organizes fitness programs, schedules movie nights and day trips, and provides transportation for doctor visits and errands. The staff runs onsite activities and devotional gatherings offsite, so people get out into the area, and there are common rooms and media spaces for socializing. For those who need extra care, there are specialized memory care programs with secured spaces and trained staff for dementia, exit alerts, and a safe outdoor area. The community provides skilled nursing, home health care, speech and physical therapy, occupational therapy, hospice, and incontinence or diabetic care as well. Nursing and personal services come as needed and are billed as fee-for-service.
People who want independent living can sign up starting at age 55 or 62 with a disability, and applications are available both online and in paper form, with different layouts and unit sizes in a modern but homelike setting. The facility keeps up planned day trips, scheduled outings, and has options like off-street parking, garages for a fee, window treatments, secure entry systems, and easy access for people who can't walk or need a wheelchair. Several similar facilities exist under the same group throughout Wisconsin counties such as La Crosse, Trempealeau, Vernon, Galesville, West Salem, Onalaska, Viroqua, and Holmen. At Salem Terrace, the focus is on supporting both active adults and those who may need more hands-on care, so folks can connect, stay safe, and have their needs met without fuss.
