LakeHouse Chippewa Falls provides traditional assisted-living support as well as heightened clinical oversight for residents who live with moderate dementia or complex medical profiles. The team is prepared to manage wandering behaviors—day or night—elopement risk, combative or other behavioral concerns, sleep reversal, oxygen therapy, special diets, wound care, and diabetic care ranging from oral medications to injections and sliding-scale insulin. Residents younger than 60 who need an assisted-living setting are also accepted, and the community can tailor care plans to accommodate those needs.
Clinical staffing includes an RN or LPN on site, a nurse on call 24/7, and an awake night shift. Background-checked caregivers monitor door alarms, fenced perimeters, and WanderGuard systems, with additional pull-cord and PERS alerts in every apartment. On-site clinicians provide podiatry, audiology, dental care, and access to a therapy room, and the community accepts residents with psychiatric diagnoses. Caregivers assist with bathing, dressing, and toileting when partial help is required, while residents who can eat independently are encouraged to do so. Transfer support ranges from standby or walker assistance to two-person or full Hoyer lift transfers, including bed-bound care.
Apartments are offered in several layouts; some include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, in-unit laundry, independent temperature controls, furnished options, cable, and the ability to paint or decorate. Weekly housekeeping and scheduled laundry are standard; not every unit contains all listed features, so it is best to confirm availability during a tour. Meals follow a set menu with snacks available throughout the day, and residents may opt for in-room dining or reserve the private dining room for guests. Diet modifications such as gluten-free, vegetarian, mechanical-chopped, puréed, or thickened-liquid plans are routinely accommodated.
Independent-living residents on the campus can elect medication-management monitoring, regular housekeeping, laundry services, and a monthly meal plan, allowing them to add clinical or hospitality support as needs change while maintaining a more autonomous lifestyle.
Community amenities include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber/beauty salon, exercise and movie rooms, internet access, a library, concierge services, special-interest clubs, communal gardens, and on-site religious services. Pets are welcome; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Outdoor smoking areas are designated, and transportation options range from a scheduled shuttle for medical appointments to a town-car service, with close proximity to public transit for additional convenience.
