Victorian Village sits at 169 E Huron St in Berlin, WI, and it's a senior living community with independent living, assisted living, supportive care, memory care, and short-term services like respite and rehabilitation care, so you've got a lot under one roof here, and people can move in at different stages of life, which makes things easier if needs change; there's even a home care service to help folks age at home if they want to. Victorian Village has earned awards for its meals, activities, and friendly staff, though what people really seem to notice is how many care options they've packed into one place-there's an independent living wing called Juliette Terrace, memory care over at Brown Wilcox Home, and Patriot Place offers both respite care and devotional services on site, meaning people can stay close to their routine. Assisted living is available at Victorian Village as well as their Preston Place CBRF, and across these communities you'll see all the levels of care covered, including skilled nursing, hospice, and focused memory care for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, using a relationship-based philosophy called MOSAIC that aims to help with interaction and reduce wandering or confusion.
Daily life ticks along with a full slate of wellness programs, social events, and trips out to nearby parks, shopping, and restaurants, so residents can stay connected and active, and there's a special focus on customized care plans, with assistance for things like bathing, dressing, medications, diabetes, incontinence, and non-ambulatory needs. Meals are prepared with balanced nutrition and taste in mind, and for those with spiritual needs, there's a chapel on site and a historic chapel as well, with devotional activities offered regularly. Comfort is a big deal too-residents can choose private or shared suites, there's underground parking, handicap access everywhere, and for downtime, you'll find gardens, walking paths, outdoor heated pool, patios, and terraces. Indoors there's an exercise room, a woodshop, learning center, business center, art studio, ballroom, billiard room, library, bakery, bistro café, pickleball, shuffleboard, bocce ball courts, and both an indoor and outdoor walking track, plus a performing arts center for anyone interested. Staff is around for personal office support, personalized fitness training, housekeeping, transportation in residence buses or vans, and emergency call systems in every room, which means help's always close by. Technology's not forgotten with cable TV, Wi-Fi, and private phone lines in every room, and for those with pets, both cats and dogs are welcome, and there are pet-friendly amenities to make sure animals stay happy too. There's a Tuck Shop and a beauty/barber shop on site, plus a pharmacy, and nearby, medical services like hospitals and clinics are easy to reach if anyone needs extra help.
All these features come together in a setting that's lively and social, with guest rooms for visitors, accessibility features for mobility, enclosed gardens for safe wandering, and support for seniors who want a maintenance-free, community-rich environment as they age. Victorian Village doesn't promise perfection, but it sure covers a lot of ground in terms of care, activity, and community for seniors in Berlin.
