Benedictine Living Community La Crosse sits on the bank of the Mississippi River in La Crosse, Wisconsin, at 2902 and 2904 East Ave. S., and the place gives seniors several living options, including assisted living, independent living, skilled nursing, memory care, and short-term rehabilitation. The community focuses on whole-person care-caring for the body, mind, and spirit-and it's faith-based, so there are devotional services, a chapel, meditation room, and spiritual care for those who want it. Folks seem to like it, with ratings of 4.5 to 5 stars, and people talk about the friendly, compassionate staff being welcoming and attentive. The community is nonprofit, so it doesn't work for profit, and it's been known for a long tradition of quality care.
Benedictine Living Community offers apartments and suites for assisted living, including studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom choices, each with a living room, kitchenette, private bathroom, and pet-friendly rules, as long as pets are approved through their Pet Admissions Program. There's skilled nursing care for people with chronic illnesses or recovering from injury, plus short-term stays, respite care, and rehabilitation that helps folks get better after surgery or illness, with minimum stays of two weeks and a maximum of about two months. People get three meals a day, served in the dining room, with special menus for allergies or diabetes. Housekeeping, laundry, and move-in help are included, and there's an emergency alert system and around-the-clock nursing staff and supervision.
Seniors living here have access to help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, grooming, medication, and moving around, and the care is personalized to each person, so everyone's plan may look a bit different. Inside you'll find common spaces such as a dining room, lobby, living room, library, arts room, and even a barber or beauty salon. Residents can use Wi-Fi, cable TV, and telephones in their rooms. The grounds include gardens, walking paths, and areas for socializing, along with organized activities, fitness classes, recreation, and outings to keep folks active and connected. There are structured games, movie nights, and even some resident-led events, so people have ways to stay busy and make friends.
Safety features come built into the place, and there's 24/7 on-call nursing staff along with a call system. The community gives a range of supportive services like transportation for doctor visits or errands, and family caregivers can find guidance and resources here, too. Memory care is available for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, and the staff has training to work with those seniors. The community keeps a strong focus on helping people feel at home, offering a quiet, caring place that tries to help each person live as well as possible. Prices aren't listed publicly, so people usually contact the community through their website for more information about costs and details about services, since those aren't published openly either.
