Kewaunee Health Services, sometimes called Kewaunee Care Center LLC, started back in 2001 and sits over at 1308 Lincoln Street in Kewaunee, Wisconsin, where folks can come in any day of the week between eight in the morning and four-thirty in the afternoon, and you'll see right away the place is set up with wide doors and ramps for wheelchairs and people who have trouble getting around, and they do what they can for people who are elderly, physically disabled, developmentally disabled, or who need a hand with their mental or emotional health. The facility provides skilled nursing care and long-term support for older adults who need regular attention, plus they offer both short-term care and longer stays depending on your needs, and they've got all sorts of therapy services right on site, like occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech and language help, besides keeping an eye on wounds and handling rehab after an illness or surgery.
There's a pharmacy right in the building, and they're able to do a bunch of lab tests, X-rays, EKGs, and even things like venous doppler and IV medications, so you don't usually have to go off-site for those, and they also take care of things like dialysis transportation, checking pacemakers, using automatic defibrillators, helping with glucose monitoring and daily weights, and organizing medication through their emergency kit. The place has private rooms you can use for family visits, along with outdoor gardens, a little chapel, and a beauty salon that folks really appreciate, and you'll find a full activity program, group meals, and staff who try to keep everyone as comfortable as they can. There's a policy for infection control with isolation rooms when needed, and the staff focuses on helping folks move along with discharge planning or whatever steps come next.
The building has a Facebook page if you want to keep up with what's happening, and places a high value on both customer and staff satisfaction, even offering Certified Nursing Assistant training through the WisCaregiver Careers program, which is good for local folks looking for work. The Center got a 5-star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and, as of the last known evaluation, did not have any noted deficiencies, which usually means it meets or exceeds the rules set for facilities like this. Overall, Kewaunee Health Services tries to give care with compassion in a community setting that feels like home for people who might need a bit more help each day.
