Presbyterian Homes & Services offers several kinds of care, like assisted living, skilled nursing, and memory care, and these all have their own names and programs which makes it a bit easier to find what someone needs, and they have things like memory care services that focus on people with Alzheimer's and dementia in secure, supportive spots with 24-hour help, and there are assisted living choices where staff help with daily things like taking medicine, eating meals, and getting dressed, plus there are skilled nursing services if someone needs round-the-clock help including wound care or rehab, while independent living apartments come with choices like one or two bedrooms, nine-foot ceilings, kitchens, in-home laundry, decks, and climate control which helps folks settle in comfortably, and there are even private townhomes with attached garages, fireplaces, and Northwoods-inspired touches to the outside which give it a homier feel, and for those who need something smaller, there are board and care homes in neighborhoods which serve just a handful of people at a time.
The community often stays involved with things around town, such as programs with places like the Fifty North Senior Center, local libraries, and organizations, and hosts events that are open to the public as well as talks and storytelling-like their "Never Too Late to Say 'Yes'!" series and "Engaging While Aging" sessions-sometimes happening over Zoom or in person, and they even have smaller "Residents Only" events so there's something for everyone, no matter how social you want to be.
Presbyterian Homes & Services runs as a faith-based nonprofit rooted in the Presbyterian Church, but welcomes all backgrounds and faiths and values diversity while treating everyone equally, and they offer spiritual care so people can call a campus pastor if they'd like, with a focus on helping families feel at ease knowing their loved ones are cared for, and all their services are licensed by the state or local governments, with home care options like home health and hospice care, and some choices that often cost less than full-time nursing homes but may not accept Medicare unless they're certified for it.
Life at Presbyterian Homes & Services can include plenty of conveniences, like business office services, car wash bays, extra dining rooms, garage parking, a general store, guest dining, suites for visitors, in-home meal delivery, on-site repair help, housekeeping, and a salon as well as amenities like a fitness center for wellness classes, billiards, a library, wood shop, and wireless internet, so there's always something to do. They keep people informed with newsletters, and planned activities and events keep residents engaged, plus, for those who want to stay active, there are wellness, rehabilitation, and fitness programs, and the whole approach is about respecting aging, offering peace of mind, and giving residents as much independence as possible while still being there to help where it's needed.
