Cass Street Assisted Living sits on Cass Street in La Crosse, surrounded by old buildings and close to churches, coffee shops, restaurants, stores, and local theaters, so folks who stay here can walk out the door and see all kinds of interesting places nearby or even just sit in the four-season porch or courtyard garden and watch life go by, since the property has lots of green space, safe walking paths, and a place for gardening. The building is clean, smoke-free, and pet-free, and has 46 beds in private studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, all with big windows, natural light, full bathrooms with step-in showers and grab bars, kitchenettes, storage, air conditioning, emergency alert systems, phone, and Wi-Fi, plus expanded cable TV and maid service, so you don't have to worry about keeping things tidy or fixing what's broken since maintenance, housekeeping, and laundry are handled for you, and if you need help moving in, that's offered too.
Meals happen three times a day in a big restaurant-style dining room, but there's all-day dining options, and special diets for diabetes or allergies are supported, so folks don't have to stress about food, and even snacks can fit most needs. The friendly staff is there 24 hours a day and a nurse can always be reached, with caregiver support and personal care assistants to help with things like bathing, dressing, getting around, medication, or transferring, and if someone uses a walker or wheelchair, support is available. The whole place is set up for safety, with sprinkler systems, a 24-hour call system, secured entry, and everything is accessible for people who need a bit more help. If folks have higher medical needs, memory care, or need help with incontinence or diabetes, those services are offered, and there's a hospice waiver option if care needs change.
People here stay busy if they want, since there's always clubs, classes, art activities, education programs, faith gatherings like Bible study or Catholic mass, outings to the community, and lots of social events, and if someone wants to join in or just watch, it's up to them. There's a game room, fitness center, beauty salon/barbershop, arts room, and even space to volunteer or lead activities, and the community supports resident-run events. Parking's available for guests or residents, and regular transportation services help folks make it to medical appointments or local spots, and there's even help doing laundry or dry cleaning. The property doesn't accept Medicare for care unless certified, but long-term care insurance, private pay, and other support help folks plan for expenses.
Cass Street Assisted Living is a licensed Residential Care Apartment Complex that's part of Eagle Crest Communities, so residents can get priority access to related housing or care when needed, like The Heights Assisted Living, Hearten Houses, Eagle Crest North, Riverside Transitional Care, and The Willows, which gives peace of mind to families thinking long-term. There are short-term stays in furnished apartments, community-sponsored activities, and pastoral care with weekly worship in the chapel. Everything is aimed at keeping life safe, comfortable, and as independent as possible, and the community's experienced caregivers are trained to meet both common and special needs. Cass Street Assisted Living provides a respectful, active, and supportive place for seniors who want daily help, a social atmosphere, and a stable, caring environment right in downtown La Crosse.
