Teal Shores Senior Living in Mequon offers Assisted Living, Independent Living, and secure Memory Care, giving residents access to progressive support levels without leaving the community. The care team can manage residents who wander during the day or night, present elopement risk, exhibit combative or other behavioral challenges, stay awake overnight, or require wound care. Oxygen therapy, special diets, and diabetes management—whether by oral medication, injections, or sliding scale—are all available. The community is also prepared to serve residents under 60 years old and those living with advanced dementia.

Clinical oversight is reinforced by an RN or LPN on staff, a nurse on-site around the clock, and a nurse on-call 24/7. All employees undergo background checks, and night-shift staff remain awake. Safety features include door alarms, Wander Guard systems, pull cords, and personal emergency response systems that alert staff. On-site podiatry visits and acceptance of psychiatric conditions reduce the need for outside appointments. Residents can receive full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting; some help with eating; and a range of transfers from standby to Hoyer lift and bed-bound care.

Accommodations vary and may include a private bathroom, kitchenette, basic furnishings, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate. Because not every apartment contains every feature, prospective residents should verify specific room details during a tour. Independent Living residents can opt for medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, personal laundry service, and a monthly meal plan that preserves autonomy while offering support.

Dining features both a set menu and on-order selections, plus snacks available throughout the day. The culinary staff can modify meals to meet physician-ordered or personal diet requirements, including low-sodium, diabetic, or texture-modified options. Meal times are scheduled yet flexible enough to accommodate late risers or residents returning from appointments.

Residents have access to on-site parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, internet connectivity, landscaped communal gardens, and scheduled religious services. Transportation is provided for medical appointments and local errands. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
