Tri Manor South sits at 1312 S Monroe St in Appleton, Wisconsin, and has a long history dating back to 1928, with its sturdy brick walls and Craftsman style showing off what buildings used to look like, and you'll find it's not too far from places like Fox River Mall, parks, restaurants, and St. Elizabeth Hospital, so you don't feel shut away from town. The place welcomes up to 20 older adults, offering both private and shared rooms, and you'll see spaces for relaxing, reading, movie nights, activities, and there are even walking trails, outdoor gardens, and a yard area that folks can use for just sitting outside or walking with pets since Tri Manor South does allow residents to bring animals if that's important. The care team gives personalized help with everyday things-bathing, dressing, moving around, medication management, hygiene, food prep, and housework-so seniors can stay mostly independent but still have someone for when it's needed, and the same team watches residents 24/7 with an emergency call system.
Meals are cooked in-house and served three times daily, and special diets, like diabetes meals or allergy-friendly food, are available, and residents can choose to eat in the dining room whenever they want during the day, which makes meals easy to fit into their routines. Housekeeping, laundry, and even dry cleaning are handled by staff, and there's a traveling hairdresser that comes by, plus a salon and barbershop on-site if getting out to appointments is tough. Transportation services help folks get to doctor visits, errands, and faith communities, using The Renaissance's vehicle, so seniors don't have to worry about making their own travel arrangements, and parking's available for those who still drive.
Amenities include a games and entertainment room, exercise room, reading section, arts room, theater room, steam room, and even a jacuzzi, and staff arrange music therapy, board games, pet therapy, art programs, fitness classes, and birthday parties, which gives everyone something to look forward to. The facility welcomes family input and supports residents with special dietary or physical needs, like diabetes management, incontinence care, help for non-ambulatory folks, and fall prevention, and they keep up-to-date with state rules as a licensed community-based residential facility, aiming to meet current senior living standards. Tri Manor South also provides respite care, hospice waiver services, and memory care, using specialized programs for people with dementia or mild cognitive impairment, and offers board and care home options for those needing smaller, residential-style support.
The care team speaks English, and they work together with area providers and other sister facilities, such as Agape of Appleton, ManorCare Health Services, and Rennes Health Center Appleton, to give extra support if someone's needs change, including therapy and post-hospital care. Tri Manor South is owned by Sacred Heart Church and sits on a property long used for residential living, so the place feels like a lived-in community instead of an institution, and over time, they've added spaces for more residents and more activities, so there's a bit of history to the place mixed in with all the usual things you'd look for in senior living-help when it's needed and a bit of independence when it's not.
