Charleston House Memory Care sits along the shore of Beaver Dam Lake in Wisconsin and has a calm, homelike setting with scenic water views, nearby parks, and space for walks and gardening, and they offer studio apartments that are bright, airy, and come with cozy kitchenettes, walk-in showers, cable TV, Wi-Fi, and phone service, so residents can feel comfortable and safe. The staff stays on duty twenty-four hours a day, including dementia professionals, life enrichment coordinators, an executive director, a Resident Care Coordinator (RN), and other trained caregivers, all helping residents with daily needs like bathing, dressing, medication management, mobility, and special diets. This community only offers memory care, providing personalized care plans, support for those with Alzheimer's disease or other types of dementia, and specific safety features such as a secure environment, an Emergency Call System in every apartment, and designs that help cut down on confusion and wandering.
Residents get three home-cooked meals every day with snacks always available, restaurant-style dining, and meal service to their rooms when needed, and there's a full calendar of activities like music programs, games, beer and cheese tastings, tailgates for Packers games, gardening groups, arts and crafts, outings to nearby places like the Horicon National Wildlife Refuge, and always a focus on staying active, social, and engaged. The community has a coffee shop, a library, a media and activity room, several fireplaces, a beauty salon with haircuts and barber services, craft and baking rooms, and a private dining room for families, as well as patios and gardens where people can relax and safely enjoy nature. Charleston House takes care of all cleaning, laundry, and maintenance jobs for residents, too, so families don't have to worry about chores. They also provide a community bus with a wheelchair lift and a full-time driver for outings and appointments within a 20-mile radius, and have ample parking for both residents and guests. There's always somebody around to help, from housekeepers to dietary aides, and the grounds are safe and watched, with regular staff check-ins, to make sure everyone stays as healthy and comfortable as possible and, as much as possible, is able to hold onto their independence and dignity.
