Shady Rest Elder House

Shady Rest Elder House sits at 119 West Main Street in Marshall, Wisconsin, and serves as the only licensed community-based residential facility in the village, holding space for five elderly residents in a comfortable, home-like setting where folks get board and care in a quiet neighborhood. Staff help with personal needs, including meals, bathing, dressing, mobility, toileting, and laundry, and take care of medication management with safety always front and center, and people needing more help get the extra support they need. The building's designed for wheelchair use, with accessible showers and common spaces indoors and out, so everyone can enjoy both the fresh air and well-kept living spaces. Shady Rest Elder House offers assisted living, respite care for short stays, and memory care services for people with dementia or Alzheimer's, where there's a secure environment and specialized programs to manage wandering and confusion, plus staff on duty around the clock. Amenities include meals with kosher and vegetarian options, pet-friendly rooms, high-speed internet, guest meals, beauty salon services, devotional activities, and trips out and about. Residents keep busy with on-site and off-site activities, transportation at cost, field trips, and brain fitness or Dakim classes set up to help keep minds sharp. There are social opportunities, support for independence, and an emphasis on dignity and respect for each person living there. They accept financial assistance from programs like COP and Family Care, administered through county Aging & Disability Resource Centers, and different fee structures-like all-inclusive, ala-carte, or modified options-can fit various needs. Licensed for various types of care, including high acuity (up to three hours per week and sometimes more with exemptions), diabetic care, wound care, incontinence care, non-ambulatory support, and rehabilitation, the facility gives people what's needed as they age. Staff even help travelers with cruise experiences, handling planning, air schedules, land programs, and onboarding with personal consultants-which stands out as a service you don't see every day. Folks can bring their own things to set up their room just the way they like, or choose to have the space furnished for them. Shady Rest Elder House aims to make seniors feel comfortable, cared for, and safe, whether they're looking for independent living, assisted care, memory programs, or just a quiet place to call home in Marshall.
