Little Willow Tree sits in Whitewater, Wisconsin as a single-family home with a finished porch, an attached garage, oak cabinets, granite countertops, and wood or simulated wood flooring, and it's set up with central heating and cooling, forced air and gas heat, a newer electrical panel, an on-demand water heater, a mound septic system, a pressure tank, and both well water and septic tank utilities. Residents have access to private accommodations with semi-private and suite layouts, including 1-bedroom and studio options, that can be set up for small groups, and the basement's partially finished, which gives some flexibility for a master suite or extra bedroom, and folks could even add another bathroom if needed since there's already a separate outside entrance and Bilco doors for easy access to the mechanicals, and the attic has a partially finished bonus room for extra space, and the main floor has laundry for convenience, and the yard's partially fenced for privacy and outside space.
Little Willow Tree offers assisted living for seniors who need help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and grooming, and medication management is always included, with 24-hour staff support and nurses available on-site or on call, though you'd want to check directly with them about the nursing details, and the team takes time to assess each resident for a personalized care plan based on what they need and want. The place offers care for dementia and memory loss in a secure environment, with special programs, memory-enhancing activities, an emergency alert system, and safety measures for those at higher risk of falling, and people can get help with moving around, meal preparation, cleaning, and laundry. Residents get scheduled meals, snacks, and options for dietary needs, like diabetes-friendly or allergy-sensitive foods, and there are regular activities and social opportunities, walking paths, garden spaces, and areas for recreation, and folks have laundry and housekeeping services and transportation help if needed.
Little Willow Tree also offers independent living for seniors who want fewer responsibilities and access to amenities, and they have respite care so primary caregivers can take a break, as well as the ability to provide hospice support and skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and wound care if those needs come up, plus help coordinating outside care through third-party providers if needed. The community's small and close-knit, so staff can get to know each resident and adjust care as life changes, using comprehensive assessments so care plans follow each person's goals and routines, and folks can pick from furnished rooms with emergency systems, dining rooms, activity areas, and Wi-Fi. The property features a deck, partially fenced yard, insulated shop with a wood boiler for heating the home and hot water, and it adjoins County and DNR land for extra privacy, sitting on residential-zoned land for board and care homes in neighborhood settings.
There's a focus on health and wellness through nutrition planning, recreational opportunities, move-in coordination, and help with household chores and errands, and staff adapt their care based on preference or special circumstances. The monthly starting cost is around $4,053 based on the current rates. Little Willow Tree, and its community-specific name Willow Winds IV, tries to make sure seniors get the right balance of medical care, safety, and comfort, with a maintenance-free lifestyle, small group living, and nearby outdoor opportunities.
