Personally Yours Elder Care sits on Gunderson Road, outside of Waterford, Wisconsin, spread across two state-licensed buildings in a quiet, wooded, rural setting with three separate houses set up as Adult Family Homes. Each house has space for up to four residents, giving folks a calm and home-like atmosphere where staff can pay close attention to everyone's needs. There's always a caregiver on site, never more than four residents for every one caregiver, with staff on duty around the clock, so someone's always there to help with different needs like bathing, dressing, or transfers. The care team includes caregivers, an owner/administrator, a full-time IT person, a Healthcare Coordinator who checks on medical needs and keeps up contact with local physicians, and also an Activities Coordinator who makes sure everybody's got something to do, stopping in at each house to bring exercise, games, and help keep minds busy. Meals are home-cooked at each house, served fresh and hot, with snacks available morning and afternoon, and the care team adjusts meals for special diet needs, working off each resident's doctor's instructions, with a big push to keep folks hydrated throughout the day.
Residents can get independent living support, memory care for dementia or Alzheimer's, assisted living, or board and care, with hospice and respite care options for those who need them. The place is wheelchair accessible, with features like wide doorways, ramps, and wheelchair-accessible showers, as well as handy adaptive equipment for safe movement and to help prevent falls or injuries. The staff helps with grooming and safety, and a nurse is always on call to address health concerns, with staff providing care for people who have diabetes, need help with incontinence, or can't walk on their own. Every room is private and set up for comfort-some even come with outdoor views, and residents can sit outside on the porch or enjoy the wooded lot. The houses have indoor and outdoor common areas, a private patio, walking paths, a community garden, and a lounge for movie nights, so there are plenty of chances to get together or find a peaceful spot for yourself. Activities are planned both inside and out in the community, and residents are encouraged to keep up with daily skills and social time with other folks.
Personally Yours Elder Care welcomes pets, and families play a big part in setting up and reviewing care plans. Safety measures like call systems and emergency alerts are in every home, and the staff manages laundry, housekeeping, dry cleaning, and even provides free transportation for outings or appointments. The company isn't Medicare certified and doesn't accept Medicare, but it does have a license from state and local regulators. It operates affordably compared to a nursing home and tries its best to make each resident feel respected and supported, with care plans tailored to the individual's needs and choices, offering dignity and company in a quieter, friendly home.
