The Heartwarming House, LLC, over in Milton, WI, sits as a small senior assisted living center with a homey, family-type feeling, nothing like the big, busy facilities some folks know, and the place holds a state license as a Community Based Residential Facility-CBRF-with just 16 beds, so you get more of that household comfort and personal attention, which some people find important as they get older. Owners, who act as Business Manager and Administrator, keep things running and take part in most daily activities, so there's always someone around who cares about the people living there. Trained staff work as registered nurse, certified nursing assistants, and cook, and they put together individualized care plans that help seniors stay as independent as possible, handling things like medication management, housekeeping, laundry, daily maintenance, and meals made fresh three times a day in a dining room with extra snacks, and you can even get a gluten-free, low/no sodium, no sugar, or vegetarian meal if that's needed.
Seniors live in studio apartments, enjoying air conditioning, cable or satellite TV, and Wi-Fi/high-speed internet, and the building has handicap access, wheelchair-accessible showers, and laundry facilities available for use, plus a kitchenette for easy snacks and drinks, and you always find private cleaning on offer. Some seniors might need extra care, so The Heartwarming House offers assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care for those with Alzheimer's or other dementia, independent living for folks who like less hassle and more socializing, and even home care where trained aides visit for non-medical help and companionship. Those who need hospice or respite care can find the support they require. There's a nurse on staff, and residents can access physical, occupational, and speech therapy, as well as services from a podiatrist and a dentist, and if you need special care, like incontinence care or physical therapy, that's all covered, too.
Recreational activities are pretty regular, with things like Live Well programs, stretching classes, fitness sessions called "Forever Fit," and chances for learning and listening to educational speakers. The community likes to invite musicians, dance and theater groups, and educators for live performances and talks, and there are devotional activities, including Catholic and Protestant services, both on the premises and sometimes off-site. You might watch kids from the preschool daycare interact with residents during special occasions or holidays, and some might enjoy looking out from the deck to see the playground, or sitting by the pond, or relaxing in the garden. Some residents go out for activities, but many socialize and rest on comfortable seating in the accessible activities area inside, where the atmosphere feels easy and relaxed.
Transportation is available for visits, errands, or doctor's appointments, and guest parking and handicap accessible spaces make visits and outings smooth. Guest meals and a designated mealtime space let friends and family dine with residents, so there's a chance to stay close even while living at Heartwarming House. There's also a private party space for birthdays or simple celebrations. Beautician services are available, laundry and housekeeping keep things tidy, and the staff regularly communicate with healthcare teams, pharmacies, and families to keep folks up-to-date. There's always something to do and people to see, and the whole place is built on comfort and respect, so everyone gets the care and attention they need, with owners and staff always aiming to keep the environment warm. The Heartwarming House, LLC, serves both male and female seniors but sometimes has arrangements for women only, and it welcomes pets, so folks don't have to leave their furry companions behind when they move in.
