Windy Ridge Care Hollister House in Tomah, Wisconsin, serves seniors who need different levels of care, whether someone needs help with daily activities, skilled nursing services, or support for memory loss and dementia, and the facility sticks to a small, quiet setting with just six licensed beds, which gives it more of a home feeling than a big institution with lots of people coming and going. Residents get 24-hour supervision and help with bathing, dressing, and transfers, along with meals, medication management, and personal care, and there are private studio rooms, all furnished, each with a telephone, cable, and Wifi, so someone doesn't feel cut off from family or the world outside. The monthly cost starts at $3,500 and can go up to $7,000 depending on the room type and care level, and while the building's got a cozy, homelike atmosphere, the staff offers long-term care, assisted living, skilled nursing, and specialized memory care, plus support for people with mild cognitive impairment or dementia who may need one-on-one attention or special activities.
There's help for folks who want to stay as independent as possible, so the community supports both independent seniors and those who need more day-to-day help, and residents can count on laundry service, housekeeping, and meal preparation, all of which eases life for people who may not want to fuss with chores or cooking anymore. Residents enjoy shared spaces for relaxing and socializing, daily scheduled activities, movie nights, and community-sponsored gatherings, and for those looking to spend time outdoors, there are walking paths and a quiet garden where someone can watch birds or take a peaceful stroll. Transportation and parking are available, and the emergency alert system adds another layer of safety for peace of mind.
Windy Ridge Care Hollister House offers respite care to give family caregivers a break, and home care services are part of the mix; they coordinate with healthcare providers, manage medications, handle special dietary restrictions, and keep everything running smoothly. The facility doesn't accept Medicare unless it's certified for it and right now, availability isn't posted, so folks are advised to call and check in directly. Windy Ridge Care Hollister House has a community score of 3.8, based on available reviews, and it holds its license as a Community Based Residential Facility.
