River City Estates II sits right in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin, and keeps things cozy with only four residents, so everyone gets a lot of attention, and the atmosphere feels close and homey, which helps everyone feel more comfortable and safe. The place is licensed as an Adult Family Home and offers both assisted living and memory care, including specialized support for folks with Alzheimer's, dementia, or Parkinson's. Residents can pick from private suites, semi-private rooms, or well-equipped studios, all with in-room pull cords and emergency alert systems, their own bathrooms, air conditioning, and cable, plus the apartments come fully furnished, so moving in is easy and simple. There's help day and night with things like medicine reminders, bathing, dressing, transfers, diabetes care, and getting in or out of bed, with trained caregivers always close if anyone needs anything.
The staff knows how to handle all sorts of care, like spoon feeding when needed, continence management, and physical therapy, and they work with each person to build a care plan that fits them-focusing on keeping folks comfortable, letting them keep as much independence as possible, and helping with whatever day-to-day things they can't quite do on their own anymore. Meals get made fresh right there, with lots of organic food and ingredients, paying careful attention to special diets, allergies, and diabetes, and a dietitian makes sure every meal fits what each person needs, whether it's in the communal dining room or served in someone's apartment for privacy. There are catering services for special occasions like birthdays, and residents get to enjoy all-day dining options as well.
Life stays social at River City Estates II, with daily schedules full of activities, movie nights, chapel service, exercise, walking paths outside, and a greenhouse for those who like to garden.

Grooming, a beauty salon, medication administration, and daily wellness checks by a licensed nurse are always available, along with home-cooked meals that can be tailored for food allergies and diabetes management.
