Park Vista Waupaca in Waupaca, Wisconsin, delivers both Assisted Living and Independent Living, allowing residents to select the level of day-to-day help that fits their needs. The community also admits guests for respite or short-term stays, which is useful after a hospital discharge or when a caregiver is unavailable. On-site medical oversight includes regular physician visits, specialized diabetes management, and speech therapy for communication or swallowing issues. Staff members are trained to support residents with mild dementia, offering structure and monitoring while respecting independence.
Around-the-clock oversight is built into the staffing model with a nurse on call 24 hours a day, an awake night shift, and pull cords in each apartment that trigger immediate response. The campus provides ambulatory care, memory care, hospice services, incontinence programs, and comprehensive medication management. Occupational and physical therapists design rehabilitation plans, and a visiting podiatrist handles foot health. Care aides can give full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they help with transfers whether a resident uses a walker, a wheelchair, or only requires standby supervision.
Residences vary in size and configuration, but many feature individual temperature controls so occupants can adjust heating and cooling to personal comfort. Scheduled housekeeping keeps living spaces clean and linens refreshed. Because floor plans differ, not every accommodation includes every listed feature, so it is best to verify specifics during a tour.
All meals are prepared and served on site, and menus are planned to cover common dietary requirements such as low-sodium or controlled-carbohydrate options. Staff can provide hands-on assistance at mealtime, coordinating portion sizes and timing with each resident’s diabetes management or other clinical directives.
Amenities add convenience and routine normalcy. Resident parking is available for those who still drive, and every entrance and hallway is wheelchair accessible. A barber and beauty shop operates within the building, and scheduled religious services are held on site. The community library offers books, newspapers, and a quiet place to read or use a computer.
