St. Michael's Assisted Living in Fountain City, Wisconsin, is an assisted-living community designed for adults who can no longer live entirely on their own but do not require the intensity of nursing home care. Daily assistance is available with activities such as bathing, dressing, mobility, and medication reminders, letting residents maintain as much independence as possible while having trained staff close at hand.
The community is equipped to handle several specific health needs. Short-term or respite stays are accepted, giving family caregivers a break or offering transitional care after a hospital discharge. Residents who manage diabetes can receive monitoring and support with blood-glucose checks and dietary guidance. A speech therapist is available for those recovering from stroke or managing conditions that affect communication or swallowing. Security measures include a secured environment, which helps protect residents who may be at risk of wandering.
Apartments and suites vary in layout, and not every unit contains every feature, but options include wheelchair-accessible showers, full bath tubs, and in-unit washers and dryers. Both indoor and outdoor common areas are on site, and residents who drive can take advantage of resident parking, with additional parking available for visitors. Landscaped outdoor areas provide space for fresh air, while interior lounges offer comfortable spots for socializing or quiet time.
Meals are prepared on site and served three times daily, with snacks available as needed. The kitchen accommodates several dietary preferences, including kosher and vegetarian menus, and staff can adjust portions or textures to meet individual medical requirements. A pub-style gathering area offers a casual setting for residents to meet friends or enjoy a beverage, promoting social interaction around mealtimes.
Amenities and services are aimed at keeping residents active and engaged. The community maintains an activity center, organizes cultural, educational, and social events, and supports resident-run clubs and interest groups. A library and computer lounge provide resources for reading or staying connected online. Planned outings complement a full calendar of on-site activities, and a swimming pool adds another option for exercise or recreation.
