The Cottages at Meadowlands in Oconto Falls, Wisconsin offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, allowing residents to stay in the same community even as their needs change. The care team is prepared to support people who wander during the day or night, are at risk for elopement, display behavioral challenges, need wound care, use oxygen, manage diabetes with oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale insulin, and adults younger than 60 who require supportive housing. Advanced dementia needs are accepted, and individualized plans are adjusted as conditions progress.
The community maintains licensed nurses on staff, has a nurse on call 24 hours a day, and keeps awake caregivers on the night shift. An activity director develops daily programs suited to varied cognitive and physical abilities. Safety features include a fenced rear yard, alarmed doors, pull-cord call systems, and optional personal emergency response devices that link directly to staff. On-site podiatry reduces the need for outside appointments. Caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, and offer standby supervision for meals. Transfer help ranges from supervision for walker users to one-person pivot or wheelchair transfers.
Residences may include a kitchenette, independent temperature controls, cable service, and space residents can repaint or decorate, while regular housekeeping and scheduled laundry are part of the basic package. Because floor plans differ, not every room contains every feature, so prospective residents should confirm specifics during a tour.
Dining follows a set menu prepared to meet general nutrition guidelines, with the option for meals to be served in apartments when necessary. The kitchen can provide mechanical-chopped entrées, puréed selections, or thickened liquids to support swallowing or digestive issues, and it will adjust ingredients to accommodate other physician-ordered diet modifications.
Amenities include on-site resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty salon, community-wide internet access, landscaped communal gardens, and regular religious services. Public transportation stops are nearby, facilitating outings and family visits.
