Shawano Place provides both Assisted Living and Memory Care, allowing residents to remain on one campus even if their needs change. The team is prepared to support residents who wander during the day or night, have a history of elopement, display combative or other behavioral issues, stay up throughout the night, or require wound care and oxygen therapy. Staff members oversee diabetic management whether the resident is on oral medication, injections, or a sliding-scale regimen. The community also accepts adults under 60 and can accommodate residents living with advanced dementia.

Medical oversight is strengthened by a nurse on call around the clock, an awake night-shift staff, and an activity director who adapts programs to individual abilities. Safety features include a fenced rear area, alarmed doors, pull-cord alerts, and personal emergency response systems that notify staff. A visiting podiatrist offers on-site foot care, reducing external appointments. Caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they are trained in all levels of transfers—ranging from standby help to two-person or Hoyer-lift transfers for bed-bound individuals. Walkers and wheelchairs are accommodated without difficulty.

Residents can choose among rooms that may include private bathrooms, basic furnishings, independent temperature controls, cable access, and the option to paint or decorate. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are provided. Because floor plans vary, not every accommodation contains every listed feature, so it is best to confirm availability during a tour.

Meals follow a set menu that can be adjusted for mechanical soft, chopped, puréed, or thickened-liquid diets. Between-meal snacks are available for those who need additional calories or have irregular eating schedules. Staff members assist with eating when required, ensuring residents maintain their nutrition plans and diabetic care protocols.

Amenities include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, an on-site barber and beauty shop, a wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, and a library. The property is close to public transportation and offers a medical-only shuttle for scheduled appointments. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
