Kirkland Crossings in Pewaukee offers Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care in one campus, allowing residents to move through levels of support without leaving the community. The team is equipped to manage wandering behaviors at any hour, behavioral concerns, nighttime wakefulness, wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, diabetes management for both oral and injectable medications, and residents younger than 60. Advanced dementia conditions are accepted, and care plans are adapted as cognitive needs change.
Clinical oversight is provided by registered and licensed nurses on staff with a nurse on call around the clock. Background-checked caregivers deliver full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they can perform transfers ranging from walker support to two-person or Hoyer lift moves for bed-bound residents. Doors are alarmed, the rear grounds are fenced, and each resident is issued a personal emergency response system that alerts staff. An activity director coordinates programs that align with each care level, and podiatry services are available on site.
Accommodation choices include suites and apartments that may feature a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate. Not every unit has every feature, so it is best to review floor plans during a tour. In-house dining follows a set menu with snacks always available, and the kitchen can honor physician-ordered or preference-based diet modifications. Independent Living residents receive weekly housekeeping and laundry plus a monthly meal plan, giving them flexibility while still ensuring core services.
Meals are served in a communal dining room with staff available for full assistance when needed. Residents who require help cutting food, monitoring intake, or following complex diet restrictions receive direct support at the table. For those in Memory Care, dining cues and adaptive utensils are used to maintain independence as long as possible, and menu choices are simplified to reduce confusion.
Residents have access to parking, wheelchair-friendly common areas, a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, wellness center, internet hotspots, communal gardens, on-site religious services, and scheduled transportation for medical appointments and 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.
