Elmwood Inn sits in Wisconsin Rapids, WI, and holds a license with Wisconsin (#16117); this small community has space for eight residents in a mix of private and semi-private rooms, so folks live in a quieter, home-like setting where they know each other pretty well. Residents can choose a one-bedroom space, and the rooms come furnished, with telephone access, grab bars, and even an emergency alert system for safety. The building's set up for wheelchairs and moving around is manageable with wide, accessible halls and decks for fresh air or time outdoors. Elmwood Inn offers care for seniors who need help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, grooming, medication help, meals, and moving from place to place, and there are always staff awake, keeping an eye out day and night, ready to help with 2-person transfers, insulin, or someone needing help to the bathroom.
Folks who deal with conditions like dementia, memory loss, or Parkinson's will find tailored programs here, along with activities and daily engagement. Memory care services include life enrichment, memory games, music or pet therapy, and supportive routines that help keep things familiar. There's an active fall prevention plan, plus continence management, and help with spoon-feeding if someone can't feed themselves. Elmwood Inn can coordinate with doctors or healthcare providers if a need comes up, assists with prescriptions, does routine health checks, and sends staff nurses for extra support.
Spending time together feels simple, with birthdays, movie nights in the theater room, board games, gardening, and community evening events. The place brings people together for homemade meals three times a day-snacks come out between meals-and they're mindful about dietary restrictions for things like high blood pressure and diabetes. Residents who like to keep busy can join workout schedules, music or creative programs, pet therapy, and scheduled exercise sessions. There's a beauty shop, barber, spa, steam room, and massage services. Housekeeping, laundry, and linen help keep everyone's rooms neat without needing to fuss over chores, while maintenance handles repairs and gardens run along the walking paths for anyone wanting fresh air.
Family can visit and find parking right on-site. Elmwood Inn also offers free rides to doctor's appointments, help with moving in, and help to get to religious services or even shopping. For short stays, folks can use respite care, and hospice services are also available for those with greater needs. Elmwood Inn's small size means a friendly, quiet atmosphere, and the staff's always there to support seniors with whatever help they need, whether that's with care, activities, or just making sure everyone feels comfortable and safe.
