Mountain Terrace Senior Living in Wausau, Wisconsin, offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living, with medical oversight structured for residents who need moderate support. Care teams are prepared to monitor diabetics on oral medication and to work with individuals experiencing mild dementia. A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on staff, and a nurse is on call around the clock. On-site clinical services include hospice coordination, dental visits, podiatry, ambulatory and memory care, occupational and physical therapy, plus comprehensive medication management and incontinence programs.
Daily support is organized to match a wide range of functional needs. Staff members remain awake through the night, respond to pull-cord alerts, and have completed background checks. Full assistance is available for bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and transfer help ranges from standby supervision to two-person or Hoyer-lift transfers for wheelchair users. An activity director coordinates structured and unstructured programs, and security protocols are in place 24/7.
Residential options vary. Suites may include a private bathroom, a small kitchenette, basic furnishings, cable service, and routine housekeeping, though not every unit contains each of these features. Residents can bring personal items to customize their space, and maintenance staff handle routine repairs.
Dining is designed to be practical and adaptable. The kitchen serves a rotating set menu, but on-order requests are accepted, and snacks are always available. A private dining room can be reserved for family gatherings. Dietary modifications such as mechanical-chop or purée textures are prepared as ordered, and staff monitor nutritional intake for those who require assistance.
The community maintains resident parking, is wheelchair accessible throughout, and allows pets; it's a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Other amenities include an on-site barber and beauty shop, exercise room, internet access, communal gardens, religious services, concierge support, and a library for reading or quiet activities.
