Villa Pines Living Center sits in Friendship, Wisconsin, and is a nursing home with 75 beds that takes Medicare and Medicaid, and it's run by a for-profit corporation, so you know you're dealing with a place that's both big enough for plenty of care options and part of a larger company that probably has its own way of doing things. The health rating is 2 out of 5, which means the recent audits found some room to improve, but the clinical quality score's a bit better at 4 out of 5, and the staff rating lands right in the middle with 3 out of 5, which lines up with its 0.38 staff hours and 3.29 nurse hours per resident every day, so people get a fair amount of nursing attention. You've got a place with no fines or substantiated complaints lately, and they've got sprinkler systems for fire safety, which always helps you sleep a little easier. They're set up with many healthcare services, from skilled nursing and assisted living to memory care and independent living, all under one roof as part of a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), so folks can stay as their needs change, and it's particularly useful if someone needs a higher level of care after an illness or surgery.
Residents can get help with daily things like bathing, dressing, transfers, and taking medicines, and there's 24-hour staff on-site, including nurses and therapists-physical, speech, and occupational-as well as social workers, registered dieticians, and an activities staff. The caregiving staff's had Medicaid training, Residential Assisted Living (RAL) courses, senior home care courses, and dementia and Alzheimer's programs, so they're prepared for all sorts of resident situations and can handle memory care too. The community's big on programs and activities, including a resident-run activities program and scheduled daily events, plus volunteers giving the activity department a nice boost. There's a mix of private studio rooms, with features like their own bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, telephones, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi, and the building's got things like a library, fitness center, walking paths, spa, wellness room, arts and game rooms, music spaces, a movie theater, and outdoor community space. Dining is set up restaurant-style with a chef on staff and special meals for folks with allergies or diabetes.
For care, they've got subacute rehab, orthopedic rehab, respiratory and renal care, wound care, hospice, long-term support, cardiac care, memory care, and stroke recovery, so there's quite a few options for people needing extra medical help. Housekeeping, laundry, move-in coordination, and family support get offered, too. The focus stays on personalizing care, respect, and daily attention from a team described as sensitive and caring, and the community tries to meet the social, spiritual, mental, and physical needs of everyone who lives there, so folks can make the most of their days in a setting that gives support and a sense of community.
