The Grand Chalet Home sits at 8 Grand Ave in Neillsville, Wisconsin, serving only four residents at a time, so it's a small and quiet place where everyone gets personal attention, and the staff try hard to make each day feel safe and comfortable, and while the building itself is special, since it's both in the State and National Register of Historic Places, you also notice right away how the house stands out with its Swiss chalet style, big red tile roof, deep eaves, fancy decorative trim, a large balcony with detailed woodwork, and the story goes that Herman Hediger went all the way to Switzerland three times to learn how to build it right, even bringing Swiss craftsmen like a cabinet maker and a mason to help out, and if you look inside, you see beamed ceilings and red tile floors that remind you of old European mountain homes.
The community is an Adult Family Home and follows the rules from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services under License #11888, so they're careful about the standards and regular inspections, and they support residents who need some extra help with things like bathing, dressing, medications, daily hygiene, mobility, and meal preparation, with 24-hour supervision and an emergency call setup just in case, and they make sure to coordinate care plans with healthcare providers so everything runs smoothly.
They're set up for both assisted living and memory care, so older adults with dementia or Alzheimer's can stay in a safe and supportive setting, and each person has a choice of private suites or shared rooms, always furnished and ready, plus private bathrooms, kitchenettes, air conditioning, phones, cable, and internet, and they've got regular laundry, housekeeping, and linen service, so nobody has to worry about chores, and fresh organic meals are prepared with special diets in mind for folks with allergies or diabetes.
Amenities include walking paths, a garden, common areas for visiting or relaxing, and scheduled activities like arts and crafts, fitness classes, movie nights, group outings, and community gatherings, so there's usually something for everyone, and they've got someone to help with transportation to doctor's appointments and local trips, concierge help, and even luxury touches like spa treatments if you're interested.
Security is in place at all hours, and the building's design helps make everything accessible and comfortable for people who might need a bit more support as they move around. With only four spots available, the home offers a close-knit and quiet environment, and their main goal is to provide care and support that fits each person's needs, helping families know their loved ones are in a steady and peaceful home.
