Brookdale LaCrosse (MC) sits in La Crosse, Wisconsin, at 3141 East Ave S, and holds up to 33 residents. It operates as a Community Based Residential Facility and has license number #510386. This single-level building offers many types of care, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, rehabilitation, care home services, respite care, hospice, and home care, so folks can stay in the same place even if their needs change. There's a separate secured wing for memory care called Hearten House I and Hearten House II, with features like alarmed exterior doors, enclosed outdoor spaces, and bracelet alerts to help keep those who wander safe. The Clare Bridge Daily Path program provides structure through activities meant to help people living with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia keep a daily routine.
Residents can bring their own furniture to decorate private or companion suites, picking from several floor plans, all of them with light-filled rooms and in-unit showers. Every room comes with its own climate controls, Wi-Fi, and space for personal items. The building's got scenic views too and a campus that tries to feel like a house, not a hospital. Staff are there all day and night, including nurses and a full-time activities director. Brookdale screens and trains staff in safety, health care, behavioral management, memory care, and handling mobility challenges. They use lifts, wheelchairs, and other transfer gear for people who need it, and help with bathing, dressing, eating, toileting, and similar needs. They also monitor health concerns like diabetes, and manage medications, diets, and incontinence care. Staff know how to help with difficult or unpredictable behaviors, and the community accepts residents with major health or mobility issues.
The community has plenty of activities-arts and crafts, cooking, gardening club, yoga, chair fitness, brain fitness, regular outings, and even wine tasting or Wii bowling-that keep residents busy and engaged. Onsite devotional services, Catholic services, and holiday events happen regularly, while the grounds include secured outdoor walking areas and both indoor and outdoor common spaces for relaxing or socializing. Pet lovers can bring cats and dogs, and there are pet activities. Meals are served restaurant-style, with a chef and options that fit special diets, like diabetic or low-salt needs, plus a popular dining program just for those in memory care. Housekeeping covers laundry, linens, groundskeeping, and repairs. Some other services on campus include dental care, podiatry, immunizations, diabetic care, legal support, and financial aid for seniors, plus help getting to appointments and on shopping trips.
Brookdale LaCrosse (MC) doesn't allow smoking and the doors are locked for security around the clock, with staff doing check-ins and providing on-call help for emergencies. Safety programs try to prevent falls and monitor wellness. This facility can support those who need light care up to heavy nursing help, making it suitable for those who want to age in place. There's camaraderie among both staff and residents, and everything's managed by Brookdale, a senior living provider that's been running communities since 1978.
