Portage Rcac

Portage RCAC, which is also called Our House Portage RCAC, serves older adults and couples with a range of care levels all under one roof, so you'll find Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care programs for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, and they even have some home care and adult day services available, all meant to help folks be as independent as they can for as long as possible, but with extra help whenever it's needed, so someone could move in while doing fine on their own and add care later if things change. Apartments come in one and two-bedroom layouts, with choices in how much space and privacy a person or a couple might want, and monthly rent includes important stuff like meals, laundry, utilities, housekeeping, and use of the dining area, group activity rooms, and laundry rooms, so people aren't stuck managing all that themselves if they don't want to, and there's a library on the second floor people can pop into for quiet time. Staff come around every day, ready to help with things like bathing, dressing, getting out for walks or social events, and medication reminders, and the on-site nurse checks in monthly to spot any new health needs, plus there are pendant alerts just in case someone needs help right away. They provide healthy meals planned by nutrition staff, with one or two hot meals cooked fresh each day, and people with special diets get extra support, plus trips out to local parks and restaurants, cards and crafts groups, fitness classes, salon and barber services, and a transportation service to help with errands. The place can house up to 66 residents overall, with certain wings or areas capped at smaller numbers to keep the setting quieter for those who want it, and they aim to give each person a plan that matches what help they actually want or need, including special memory care for those with memory loss, and help with things like diabetes care, non-ambulatory support, and incontinence care. An emergency pendant system, entertainment rooms like gaming spaces, and a full slate of social and fitness activities make it possible for folks to stay busy or just relax, depending on what a person's up for that day. There's weekly housekeeping, laundry services and facilities, and an on-site beauty and barber shop, which means people don't need to leave the building for a trim or a wash. Staff, some trained specifically in dementia care, check on residents often and keep in touch with families through newsletters and updates, and there's access to legal and training support for staff, too. The place is tied to the larger Our House Senior Living group, with other assisted living and memory care communities in Wisconsin, and with its mix of independent, assisted, and memory care services, Portage RCAC tries to meet a range of needs, so people can stay put even as life changes, and everything from meals to fitness and social events is handled right on-site for people who want a break from managing everything themselves.
