CLA Prescott sits over on 13 Prescott St in Elkhorn, Wisconsin, and has a small homelike feeling, making it easier for the four residents to feel comfortable and well cared for, because with only 4 licensed beds, people really can get to know each other and staff can keep a close eye on everyone day and night. The building offers studio apartments, communal living spaces, and one-bedroom units, all with private ADA compliant bathrooms, and pull cords and emergency systems in every room so help is never far off. CLA Prescott is a state-licensed Adult Family Home and provides care for people with memory loss, including those with Alzheimer's and dementia, and also has special help for those living with Parkinson's disease, diabetes, and other long-term conditions. Memory care there is designed to prevent wandering and confusion, and staff use a custom care plan for each resident; the environment is secure, has a keyless keypad entry, and includes an enclosed courtyard where residents can sit or walk with pets, since dogs and cats are welcome.
There's a beauty salon and barbershop right in the building, scheduled health and RN checkups, and help with medication by a registered nurse who visits monthly. Residents can get help with showers and dressing, continence management, and daily living tasks as needed, while staff never leave and are on-site 24/7, so there's always someone awake if a problem arises, which does help keep families from worrying. The kitchen staff prepares chef-inspired meals, and a special dietary menu is available for anyone who needs it; meals can be enjoyed in a shared dining hall that feels a lot like a home kitchen, and snacks are available. Residents can join devotional services right onsite, and CLA Prescott offers many offsite trips and rides for field trips or appointments, plus daily entertainment in the activity room, creative arts and crafts, games, health and fitness classes, and even computer learning classes for anyone interested. There's also a library, bistro, movie nights, and a computer area. Health assessment, therapy services, regular doctor checkups, and a specialized intervention program for dementia are all part of what's offered.
People can bring their pets, walk the trails or use the enclosed yard, lounge in the common spaces, or attend scheduled outings to nearby churches, restaurants, cafes, and parks - all located just a short ride away, which is nice for changing up the scenery, especially when the weather's good. There are fifteen restaurants, five hospitals, seven pharmacies, and ten physicians nearby, making medical care and errands pretty convenient, and housecleaning and complimentary laundry services mean residents don't have to do chores unless they're up to it. CLA Prescott designs customized care plans for every person, helps with unscheduled needs, provides within the building for those who want it, and allows parking for visiting family. There's a focus on wellness and respect, and having just a handful of residents keeps things peaceful and calm. All basic utilities except phone are included. Medicare isn't accepted unless the facility is officially certified.
So, CLA Prescott offers long-term and respite care for seniors, with especially strong support for memory loss and related needs, and while it's a quiet, small-scale residential care home, residents can expect solid care, good meals, and a setting that keeps safety, comfort, and dignity in mind.
