Shaer Residential Facility in Thiensville, WI operates as an assisted-living community with comprehensive medical oversight. The clinical team manages elopement risks, combative or other behavioral concerns, residents who are up all night, wound care, oxygen therapy, and a wide range of dietary restrictions. Adults under 60 are accepted, and diabetic care is handled at all levels—oral medications, injections, and sliding-scale monitoring. The program is also equipped to serve individuals with moderate dementia, ensuring they receive appropriate attention without relocating to a more restrictive environment.
A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on site, a nurse is on call around the clock, and every staff member has completed background checks. An awake night shift and continuous security staffing safeguard residents at all hours. On-site podiatry is available, and the community accepts individuals with psychiatric diagnoses. Residents can receive full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, while most can manage meals independently. Mobility support ranges from walker use to standby supervision and one-person transfers, and daily programming is organized by a full-time activity director.
Residences are available in furnished configurations and may include cable service, routine housekeeping, and scheduled laundry service, though not every unit contains every amenity. Maintenance staff handle repairs, and residents may bring personal items as space allows.
Dining follows a set menu prepared to meet general nutritional guidelines, with snacks offered throughout the day. The kitchen can modify textures, ingredients, or portion sizes for physician-ordered diets, accommodating needs such as diabetic, low-sodium, or other specialized meal plans.
Amenities include designated outdoor smoking areas, communal gardens, facility-wide internet access, proximity to public transportation, and a shuttle reserved for medical appointments. These features provide residents with practical options for recreation, communication, and travel.
