St. Dominic Villa is a skilled healthcare facility and nursing home, sitting in the driftless area of Southwest Wisconsin, so the residents get views of the rolling hills, and if you look out the window at the right time of day, you might catch a nice sunset. The staff includes an Administrator, a Director of Nursing, and a Referral Manager, and they're always around with licensed nursing care available 24 hours every day, which means help is there for emergencies, or even just getting from bed to wheelchair, which can be a big deal for folks who need it. Skilled nursing is a core service, along with long-term care, assisted living, and they also handle things like monitoring insulin for people with diabetes, so families have some peace of mind. There's a good focus on rehabilitation too, with physical, occupational, and speech and language therapy, and if you need short-term rehab after a hospital stay, they'll see you through that as well.
Residents have access to meal services and snacks, which are important, and it's nice knowing that those with dietary needs or special care for things like dementia or memory loss are considered, thanks to their Alzheimer's and dementia care programs and support for the 4Ms-what Matters, Medication, Mentation, and Mobility-all fitting within their Age-Friendly care model. Social interaction takes place in common indoor spaces, and the staff works hard to provide activities, music, crafts, and community worship, which makes the days fuller and gives everyone something to look forward to. Wellness and movement get a boost too, thanks to AJs Fitness Center, which is one of their unique facilities, and there are other recreational and spiritual support options as well, seeing as daily worship is available, and that's important to many residents given the Villa's church-related, non-profit roots.
People living at St. Dominic Villa stay in individual spacious rooms, all clean and comfortable, and you get a sense of community there, a place where everyone is encouraged to keep learning and growing together, even as needs change over time. Specialized services cover supportive living, subacute care, and treatment programs for people with different health conditions. On average about 41 people stay there a day, so it doesn't feel crowded but you're not alone either. The facility stands as a place where residents can get assistance with personal care but also enjoy a bit of independence, whether that means joining in on group activities, getting help with medication, or just enjoying the hills outside the window. It's a straightforward place that supports both daily living and medical needs, with committed staff and a faith-driven approach that many families appreciate.
