The Waterford At Wisconsin Rapids sits at 491 25th St. N. in Wisconsin Rapids, surrounded by tall trees and wildlife, which makes things peaceful and gives residents room to enjoy nature, and the single-story, craftsman-style building keeps everything on one level for easy navigation, with thoughtfully designed apartments that have wide entryways, wall-to-wall carpeting, and big bathrooms with walk-in showers and safety rails for extra support, so you don't have to worry about stairs or tight spots if you use a wheelchair or walker. The place has both assisted living and memory care communities, each meant to offer a helping hand to folks who need support with daily living, with memory care set up in a secure area for people with Alzheimer's or other kinds of dementia, and the care team uses personalized plans and activities to give residents the right kind of help. There's always someone on site, with staff and a nurse available 24 hours to provide assistance, manage medications, and handle emergencies, and apartments have emergency call buttons right inside, so getting help is quick if you need it.
For meals, residents get heart-healthy breakfasts, lunches, and dinners served in the communal dining room, and there's a snack parlor that serves up coffee drinks and ice cream treats, so there are always choices and social opportunities, and there's even room in the kitchenettes for light cooking if someone wants to fix their own snack, with cable TV and WiFi access included in each apartment. Housekeeping and laundry services come with the stay, making things easier day-to-day, and the smoke alarms and sprinkler systems in each room add extra safety, which folks and their families can appreciate. Transportation is available for doctor appointments, so people don't have to worry about getting to medical visits on their own, and there's close access to medical facilities in town, so help is nearby if needed, and some health services include hospice care as well as regular medication reminders. The Waterford also provides respite care for those who need short stays and skilled on-site nursing for anyone with higher care needs.
Social life is busy here, with a full calendar of recreation, movie nights, resident-run activities, and structured programs meant to help residents get to know each other and stay engaged, especially with things like indoor exercise classes, wellness programs, balance and walking classes, and the option to stroll or garden in the courtyards and around the raised flower beds outside, which can be a good way to relax or get fresh air. People can gather in the great room with its double-sided fireplace or the TV lounge for some warmth and entertainment, and there are tastefully decorated lounges and lots of communal areas that make it easy to spend time with friends or enjoy a good book from the library. Spiritual engagement comes through devotional services offered both on-site and off, and there's an on-site beautician for haircuts and grooming to help everyone look and feel their best. The community keeps safety in mind while encouraging independence, and staff aim to create a positive, welcoming atmosphere so residents feel comfortable and at home. The Waterford At Wisconsin Rapids is managed by Civitas Senior Living and is a community member of Sonida Senior Living, which means it provides progressive levels of care all right on one campus, so when residents' needs change, help is already nearby.
