The Residences on Forest Lane sits on a wooded, five-acre campus in Montello, Wisconsin, and has a modern, home-like feel since the building went up in 2010, offering private suites with personal heat and air conditioning controls, private safes, large windows with views, and private, handicapped-accessible bathrooms, and you see they also have one-bedroom, two-bedroom, studio, and semi-private options if that's important. The community serves elderly and disabled adults, provides assisted living and memory support, and is part of a wider campus that's got skilled nursing, rehab therapy, home health care, and long-term care all in one place, so even if medical needs change, residents don't always need to leave the place they know. Staff are around 24 hours a day, including registered nurses, to help with things like moving between bed and wheelchair, checking insulin, medication, bathing, dressing, eating, toileting, and reminders, and care plans get figured out just for what someone needs, which can be high, medium, or low help, and the fees change based on that.
Folks pay using private pay, social security, veterans' benefits, and private insurance, and they do charge a community, respite, and buy-in fee, so it helps to ask about those before moving. Residents get three meals a day, plus snacks, with dining in both private and shared rooms, and the staff handles housekeeping, laundry, and scheduled rides for appointments and errands. The place is secure with front door security systems and there's always someone on hand. For shared time, people can visit in cozy common areas, a living room with a fireplace, or go outside to the patio, and there are exercise groups, hobby programs, health promotion, and companionship activities set up to keep minds and bodies moving.
The Residences on Forest Lane can help folks who want to stay as independent as possible, and they work with home health teams if someone needs short-term or long-term care after a hospital stay. Those who need memory support get personalized care to match their routines, and there's language interpretation if needed. Each room is set up so people can have privacy but join others easily, and common spaces feel friendly and not too loud. The nonprofit mission means the place focuses on good care over making a profit, and most who've been there say it feels welcoming, with staff who know the residents by name and help out without being overbearing.
