Milestone Senior Living Cross Plains offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care. The community is equipped to serve residents who wander during the day or night, have elopement risk, display combative or other challenging behaviors, stay up all night, require oxygen, follow special diets, manage diabetes with oral medication or injections, or are younger than 60 years old. Staff members are trained to care for people living with advanced dementia and related conditions, aiming to maintain safety while supporting each resident’s medical regimen.
A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on staff, and a nurse is on call around the clock. All employees undergo background checks, and the building is secured with alarmed doors, fenced outdoor space, and WanderGuard systems; an awake night shift responds to Personal Emergency Response System alerts. A podiatrist visits the community for on-site care. Assistance is available for bathing, dressing, and toileting, and staff can help residents who need some help with eating. Transfer support ranges from supervision while using a walker to full Hoyer-lift transfers, including one-person and two-person assists.
Accommodations include units with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, furnishings, independent temperature controls, and cable access, though not every apartment has every feature. Residents can choose the layout that best meets their needs and budget, and staff handle routine maintenance.
Meals follow a set menu, and snacks are available throughout the day. The culinary team provides diet modifications to accommodate physician-ordered restrictions, diabetic management, and other special dietary requirements.
Amenities and services include resident parking, outdoor smoking areas, pet-friendly policies, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, a movie room, internet access, communal gardens, and on-site religious services. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
