Emerald Shores Assisted Living

Emerald Shores Assisted Living sits at 1100 Baumeister Dr, Kewaunee, Wisconsin, and belongs to the network of senior care communities in the state. This community focuses on assisted living and offers both studio and one-bedroom apartments with private bathrooms, plenty of sunlight, kitchenettes, safety features, and emergency call systems. Residents get help with daily life such as bathing, dressing, medications, housekeeping, and regular meals, along with laundry and on-call maintenance. Staff is around 24 hours a day to assist, and a local physician assistant visits every week, while nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, and visiting podiatrists come regularly, too. Folks can choose the care level they need-light, medium, or heavy-and pricing starts at $2,714.50 per month, going up to $3,599 for those with the most needs, while adding another person costs $1,800 monthly, and a short-term respite stay comes to $125 a day. There's a community fee of $500 for new residents. Residents pay for only the services they use, with a basic fee covering independent living and other packages added as care needs grow, which helps them stay as their needs change, even if they develop dementia, Alzheimer's, or need hospice care. Memory care is offered in a secure area that can also handle behaviors that come with Alzheimer's or advanced dementia, and the facility can care for people who use mechanical lifts, need help with incontinence, are diabetic including those taking insulin, or are at risk for elopement. The building includes a dining room with skylights, a living room, a sunroom for activities, a community library, a swimming pool, a hot tub, and outdoor gardens, and each apartment is private and meant to feel like home. There's a beautician onsite, wheelchair-accessible showers, guest and family services, and outreach and education for families. Meals are provided, so residents don't need to worry about cooking, and the facility takes several kinds of payment like private pay, insurance, VA benefits, Social Security, and more, with rates based on care needs and the room chosen. There are plenty of programs each day, such as exercise, games, outings, crafts, bowling, gardening, and annual traditions like the June Jubilee and Fall Home Harvest, plus it's possible for residents to go on walks or smoke outdoors. Transportation services and parking are available, and the place is near a bus line for added convenience. Staff can respond to health issues or emergencies at any time, and the community lets people age in place with more support when needed. Emerald Shores Assisted Living takes residents age 55 and up, and guests can see photos or a map online if they want.
