The Farm sits out in Wilton, Wisconsin, and offers assisted living for up to eight residents, doing things out there a bit differently because they do more than help with daily living-there's long-term care for folks who've had traumatic brain injuries, those who are terminally ill, or physically disabled, as well as people working through developmental disabilities, irreversible dementia, or mental illness, and even folks with substance dependence or correctional backgrounds, so it's a real mix, and they've got support for Parkinson's, diabetes, and anyone who needs memory care too, including specialized Alzheimer's help. Now, The Farm has a countryside setting with secured outdoor grounds for walks and fresh air, plus indoor games and entertainment rooms, so residents can get outside or stay in for activities and holiday parties, and when it comes to food, meals get made by a chef, and there are all-day dining options including allergy-sensitive and diabetes-friendly choices, which helps a lot for those who need a special diet, and there's also private living spaces and well-equipped studios for those who want their own quiet spot.
Staff handle health monitoring, medication, and help with bathing, dressing, moving around, and manual feeding, and a nurse is on-call day or night, plus move-in help and regular doctor checkups get arranged, and each resident has a personal care plan, family support meetings, and regular health assessments, while rooms come furnished with safety features, laundry gets taken care of, and there are utilities and a phone in the room, so things stay comfortable and simple. The community at The Farm also links residents with local healthcare workers for care coordination, and there's transport to appointments or community activities, while safety stays a top concern with emergency alert systems and secured doors, especially for those at risk of wandering, plus regular screenings and fall prevention programs.
What makes The Farm stand out as a place is that besides being an assisted living facility licensed as a Community Based Residential Facility, it's truly a working farm, and it keeps bees for year-round honey that's sold in bulk or by the pound without any antibiotics or synthetic chemicals, and their animals-beef cattle, goats, and poultry-live outdoors, eat grass and natural feed, have no hormone implants or antibiotics, and grow at their own pace, so if someone is interested in farming or eating pasture-raised food, there's a community-supported agriculture (CSA) program with home delivery and farm tours available, though they only sell whole animals. Some people like to know meals and programs come from organic farming with no synthetic inputs-no fertilizers, no pesticides, no herbicides.
The costs for living at The Farm usually end up lower than most nursing homes, and the state licenses them to care for up to eight people, and while they don't take Medicare and aren't certified by federal agencies, families who need long-term living for adults or seniors find The Farm offers a range of support, recreation, and community, with a current community score of 3.8 out of 5 on Seniorly's rating. They're connected as a group with Ann St House, Hollister House, and Holton House, and they focus on wellness and activity-movie nights, games, outdoor walking paths, computer classes, and community-sponsored events.
The Farm is one of those places where daily living support, specialized wellness programs, and a rural atmosphere all come together for people who want a secure, social, and somewhat peaceful setting while still having personal supports close by, so it covers a wide range of care needs from simple assistance right through to advanced memory and health care.
