Our House Senior Living Memory Care – Wausau concentrates on a single care type: memory care for residents living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Licensed staff members are trained in dementia-specific techniques, medication administration, and monitoring for changes in condition. The community is equipped to handle respite or short-term stays, providing caregivers with temporary relief while ensuring continuity of supervision. Diabetes care is also available; staff can assist with blood-glucose checks, coordinate insulin administration, and tailor meal plans to meet physician-ordered dietary guidelines.
Beyond medical oversight, the community maintains 24-hour staffing, routine safety checks, and an emergency call system in resident rooms. Individualized service plans outline each person’s cognitive and physical needs and are reviewed regularly to stay aligned with physician recommendations. Support with activities of daily living—such as bathing, grooming, dressing, and mobility—is provided as needed, and the secure environment is designed to limit wandering risks while still encouraging safe independence.
Accommodation options include private and semi-private rooms featuring features such as wheelchair-accessible showers, indoor and outdoor common areas, and resident parking. Cats are allowed in designated units, offering a familiar companion for those who benefit from pet interaction. Because floor plans and upgrade packages differ, not every room includes every listed feature; prospective residents should verify availability during a tour.
Meals are prepared on site and served three times daily in a communal dining room that accommodates memory-care best practices, such as clear visual cues and staff guidance during mealtimes. Menus emphasize balanced nutrition and can be modified for special requirements, including carbohydrate-controlled diets for residents managing diabetes. Snacks and hydration stations are available throughout the day.
Residents have access to structured activities on-site—ranging from cognitive games to light exercise sessions—and scheduled outings for shopping, dining, or local events. This programming is designed to stimulate social engagement and help residents maintain a predictable routine both within and outside the community.
