Heather Street Community Residence

Heather Street Community Residence sits in Schofield, Wisconsin, holding a community of seven residents at a time with both assisted living and supportive housing services in a small, homey setting that does feel a bit like an old-fashioned neighborhood house where things are kept simple and folks get to know each other easily, and the place has all the needed amenities for comfort like cable or satellite TV, Wi-Fi throughout, fully furnished units with private bedrooms, some with kitchenettes, and a telephone line in each room; gatherings can take place in the dining room, garden area, porches, or the cozy library, and people can always find something to do, maybe watching a movie on the big TV, playing games, or working on an art project during regularly scheduled activities or get-togethers that keep the days feeling lively. Trained staff provide 24-hour supervision and there's always a registered nurse on call, and licensed nurses handle medication administration, which helps the more forgetful folks and anyone who needs support with medication management, continence care, or physical therapy, and those who have trouble getting around or need a hand with dressing, bathing, or transferring get the help they need, plus support if a resident uses a wheelchair or has other mobility concerns, since this is a non-ambulatory facility by license. Each resident has a care plan shaped for their needs, with support for diabetes or other special diets, pureed food when required, spoon feeding for those who need it, help moving around, and all-day meal service that's sensitive to allergies, and there are snack breaks between meals so nobody goes hungry. There's house keeping, laundry, linen changes, even dry cleaning and full home maintenance, so residents don't need to worry about chores, and moving in is eased with coordination services that help with the sometimes stressful transition, which can matter a lot. Residents enjoy community living with spacious living rooms, therapy rooms where speech, occupational, or physical therapy is done on-site, and safety features like emergency pendants, a keypad-secured entry, and a whole-facility emergency alert system for peace of mind. There are outdoor walking paths, a garden, and shady porches that invite relaxation outdoors, and those who like a trim or haircut can get to the on-site barbershop or salon. Scheduled transportation and parking are available for appointments or outings, so families won't worry about missed doctor visits. Memory care, assisted living, and general senior living services are part of what Heather Street Community Residence provides, especially for seniors who may still be fairly independent but want help when it comes to daily tasks and getting any extra health supervision needed. The place encourages folks to keep connections with the outside world, offering internet access and a phone line so calls and web chats are easy to manage. Staff are trained in mental health support and offer custom care plans, working in coordination with outside healthcare providers, aiming for a respectful, comfortable, and safe environment centered around both independence and social support for those later years, and the whole setup gives families some relief knowing there's someone awake day and night, seven beds are kept filled by people who know they're in a secure, kind, and well-organized setting, state license 13235. This is a place where residents find a routine but aren't left out of lively activities and caring attention.
