Farnam Community Living Center sits in Whitehall, WI, right about a block from the downtown area, and folks will notice the unique Victorian era architecture, which gives the building its own charm, and with room for up to sixteen residents as a licensed Community Based Residential Facility, it offers both semi-private and private rooms, all fully furnished and designed for comfort. Here, seniors get a mix of support and independence, with long-term care options that often cost less than a full nursing home, and the center sits in a friendly neighborhood near parks, walkways, coffee shops, churches, and healthcare places, helping people feel they're still a part of the larger community rather than separated from it. Residents can expect care around the clock, with staff who help with daily basics like bathing, dressing, medication, moving around, and even help with diabetes management, high blood pressure diets, incontinence care, or two-people transfers for those who need it, and there's always someone available for memory care or dementia support, too.
Housekeeping, laundry, and move-in help are included, along with nutritious, homemade meals-three a day, planned by chefs and meal planners-and the staff makes sure special diets are followed when needed. At Farnam, folks don't spend all day just sitting around because there's a schedule full of movie nights, tabletop games, craft plans, workout programs, music therapy, animal visits, outdoor trips, and devotional activities if a person wants them, plus regular activities inside and out so residents can keep busy. There's a community room, common areas for gathering, gardens, walking paths, and a dining room, and some amenities sometimes include things like a book room, fitness space, sauna, jacuzzi or a mobile stylist and salon for hair care, so people can get cleaned up and feel good about themselves without having to travel far. Transportation is available for medical appointments, shopping, or trips to spiritual places, and there's emergency alert systems in every room, plus furnished telephones and other small comforts to help people connect with family and friends. While the monthly room cost starts at about $3,400, the real focus stays on safety and help with daily needs, letting people live in an environment that feels like being part of a large, supportive family, with decades of experience behind the staff and tight licensing requirements set by Wisconsin's Department of Social Services and other local agencies, so families can worry less while their loved ones get the kind of steady care they need.
