St. Clare Friedensheim in Monroe, Wisconsin, is an assisted-living community designed for residents who need daily oversight and specific medical support. The staff can manage wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, and diabetes management for people on either oral medications or insulin injections. Residents with mild dementia are accepted, and care plans are adjusted as needed. Full assistance is offered with bathing, dressing, and toileting, while staff provide standby supervision for meals. Transfers are handled according to individual capability and may involve a walker, wheelchair, standby help, or one- or two-person assistance. A therapy room on site allows for scheduled rehabilitative sessions without leaving the building.
Daily operations rely on a 24-hour nurse on call, an awake night shift, background-checked employees, and a personal emergency response system that alerts staff around the clock. An activity director coordinates cognitive and social programming that aligns with residents’ care plans. These measures create a framework in which health issues can be addressed promptly, and safety protocols are continually maintained.
Living spaces typically include a private bathroom, independent temperature controls, cable hookup, and housekeeping services, although not every apartment contains every listed feature. Residents who value privacy can select units that match their preferences and budgets, and maintenance staff handle routine upkeep.
Meals are prepared to order, and clinical dietary guidelines are followed for those requiring carbohydrate counting, low-sodium options, or other physician-directed plans. Residents may eat in the main dining room, request snacks between meals, receive tray service in their rooms, or reserve a private dining room for family visits.
Amenities and services on the campus include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, wellness center, internet access, library, and scheduled transportation for appointments or errands.
