Village at the Falls sits in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, and offers seniors a peaceful place with scenic views, walking paths, manicured lawns, and outdoor water features, which make walking outside pleasant when the weather's right, and the sunlit patio gives folks a spot to sit and enjoy the day. The community has independent living as its main type of care, but there's also assisted living, memory care designed for dementia and Alzheimer's, nursing care, home care services, respite care for short-term stays, and continuing care if needs change over time, so residents don't have to worry as much about leaving what's become familiar. The apartments come in a variety of floor plans with names like Black Cherry, Mulberry, Norway Maple, and Honey Locust, and you can choose from studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts, with bright, spacious rooms, tall ceilings, large windows, and options for private patios or balconies to bring in light and fresh air, and the pet-friendly rules mean residents' pets are welcome, plus there's a dog park for walking and play.
The staff at Village at the Falls include kind, well-trained professionals who stay on site around the clock, available to help out with daily needs like bathing or dressing in assisted living, and to make sure folks in memory care have safe spaces that prevent wandering and confusion, and they also offer home-cooked meals three times a day, always making sure to meet dietary needs and preferences. The Engage Life program tries to keep everyone active with learning experiences, group outings, social activities, and opportunities for fun, so people can find friendship and ways to stay engaged. Amenities fill much of the community, like heated underground gated parking for safety and comfort in bad weather, easy-to-access common rooms including a cozy library for getting lost in a book, a game room, community center, activity rooms, a gym, and a lounge area, as well as Wi-Fi throughout and a business center in case anyone still needs to take care of paperwork or online business. Folks can visit the barber and beauty salon on-site, and transportation services help with getting to appointments or errands when needed.
The community culture focuses on peace and a low-stress lifestyle, with daily entertainment, events, and friendly fellowship, encouraging companionship and friendly relationships. There are plenty of articles and resources about assisted living, dementia and Alzheimer's stages, healthy meals, and coping strategies that families and residents can use, and even a podcast called "The Disappearing Mind" that talks through the journey of dementia, diagnosis, legal planning, and ways to find support. Village at the Falls provides guides for finding care, a glossary for senior housing terms, and plenty of planning resources, and you can find information about 55+ living and senior housing options both in print and online. The buildings' interiors are roomy and homelike, filled with warm decor and big windows, showing a real effort to make the place feel welcoming. Residents can take part in group outings and entertainment, share meals with others, and enjoy all-inclusive benefits that take away the little hassles of daily living.
