Anchor Communities II

Anchor Communities II sits in Brandon, WI, and offers assisted living and rehabilitation care in a medium-sized setting with space for 14 residents, and the rooms you find here are all studio style, so folks have privacy, and the community is considered a community-based residential facility, which means they're set up for seniors that need help with daily things or require more care as they age, and they're able to provide assisted living along with memory care for people dealing with Alzheimer's or dementia, plus they can manage bigger behavioral challenges because their memory care section is purpose-built and secure, with its own building and a wander alert system that warns the staff if someone's trying to go somewhere unsafe so residents don't get lost. You'll find staff members, including nurses, on service all day and night, and they handle insulin or other injected medications, so diabetics or others who need shots are taken care of, and they've got mechanical lifts for folks who need help getting up, and they're ready to deal with one or two-person transfers or just standby help. The place is all on one level, is wheelchair accessible, has showers that fit wheelchairs, and it's easy to get around both indoors and out, because they've got common rooms and landscaped outdoor spaces for relaxing or getting together. Meals are provided, and there's parking for residents and free transportation for folks who need a ride to town or appointments, and they arrange activities both on-site and off-site, including devotional services if someone wants to go to church or join in without leaving, so it suits different interests and faiths. There's a beautician who comes in, spaces for hospice care if needed, respite or short-term stays for families that need a break, and the staff can help with incontinence care, pain management, and non-ambulatory issues, which means folks who can't walk well are still welcome. The setup supports aging in place, so residents who need more care over time usually don't need to move to a whole new place. The community has a 6.5 out of 10 rating, so people seem to find it meets needs, but it's not fancy or over-the-top, just a steady and supportive spot for folks who need a safe and helpful setting as they get older or recover from illness or injury.
