Golden LivingCenter - The Dorchester

Golden LivingCenter - The Dorchester sits in a quiet neighborhood at 200 North 7th Avenue in Sturgeon Bay, WI, and offers a range of senior care services like independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing, so folks who need short-term rehab after an illness as well as those who need long-term care for ongoing needs can both find a place here, and pets like cats and dogs are welcome which makes it feel much more homey for people who love their animals. Each month, private rooms cost $5,670 and residents have the option of private apartments and common areas for gathering. There are nurses and trained healthcare professionals on staff for support with daily activities and medical needs-things like wound care, help with bathing or medication, and specialized care for Alzheimer's in a dedicated wing called Alzheimer's Care at Beverly, which is set up so those living with memory problems can move around safely with support from staff who are trained in dementia care. The building itself is smoke-free inside and has transportation ready if you need to go somewhere in town, though there are six hospitals, six pharmacies, eight doctors, six parks, and a bunch of restaurants, cafes, and churches close by if you want to get out. Rehab services like physical and occupational therapy help people get strong enough to go back home, but there's also long-term care for those who need to stay, plus hospice care for people at the end of life. On top of the medical support, meals get provided, there's a bunch of onsite activities and outings, and folks can take part in social, educational, and fun events that help keep life interesting. The staff follows proper care and safety rules set by the state, with their license checked every month, and they work together as a team to make sure everyone gets personal attention, whether someone's there for a few weeks or planning to stay longer. The place accepts insurance and Veterans Aid benefits, and lets pets stay too, which can mean a lot for someone wanting to bring their companion along. All told, Golden LivingCenter - The Dorchester provides clean and comfortable retirement living with several care options, right down to skilled nursing, memory care, and assisted living, with staff trying their best to help each resident feel at home and stay as independent as possible for as long as possible.
