Charleston House Assisted Living

Beaver Dam Assisted Living is the ideal retirement community - located along the shore of Beaver Dam Lake, the community is complete with walks, outdoor patios and gardening opportunities. Beaver Dam Assisted Living offers a peaceful setting located in a warm and friendly neighborhood.

Beaver Dam Assisted Living offers assisted living services and is a state-certified Residential Care Apartment Complex (RCAC). The community provides spacious one-bedroom apartments with cozy kitchenettes and personal bathrooms with walk-in showers. Apartments are bright and airy with lovely views. Common areas include craft, activity and baking room, beauty salon, chapel and theater, fireplaces, private dining room for family gatherings, gardens, patios, and a gorgeous dining room with spectacular views of local wildlife. Three delicious, gourmet meals are prepared daily and snacks and beverages are available at all times.

Our professional staff includes an on-site executive director, a full-time Resident Care Coordinator (RN), housekeepers, maintenance staff, life enrichment coordinators, chefs, dietary aides, bus driver and trained caregivers available 24-hours per day to assist residents with personal needs such as medication administration and monitoring, bathing, dressing, incontinence, ambulation and assistance with other activities of daily living. We specialize in chronic issues such as Diabetes, Parkinson's Disease, colostomy care, etc.

We maintain an active social calendar offering opportunities such as games, cards, crafts, baking club, outings, entertainment and spiritual enrichment. The community has a comfortable bus with a wheelchair lift and a full time driver, available Monday through Friday, to provide transportation to and from medical appointments within a 20-mile radius, shopping, banking and social outings.

Our team strives to make the move-in process as smooth as possible. We assist with everything from unpacking personal items and obtaining physician's orders to hanging pictures.

Residents of Beaver Dam Assisted Living live in apartments with private baths, are served three home cooked meals daily, enjoy the convenience of housekeeping and linen service, and participate in daily social and recreational activities while receiving assistance with personal care and medications.

Both ambulatory and non-ambulatory residents are welcome. Professional staff are on duty around the clock, including a registered nurse (RN). Safety and security are further enhanced by an Emergency Call System (ECS) in each apartment that allows residents to press a button and summon a staff member. Residents suffering from any form of dementia do not receive an ECS button but do enjoy scheduled visits from our staff....some each hour, others more frequently.

We do not believe in a regimented, one-size-fits-all approach. Uniquely, Beaver Dam Assisted Living offers personalized care that is solely based on individual needs. Residents and their families discretely choose the level of care that meets their unique situations.

Assistance with the following tasks of daily living is provided:

• Dressing, bathing, grooming
• Ambulation
• Medication administration & management
• Incontinence management
• Health monitoring
• Management of chronic conditions or diseases such as Diabetes, Parkinson's Disease, Alzheimer's Disease and early to late-stage dementias.
• Late stage Dementia's and Alzheimer's disease are served at our Beaver Dam Memory Care community.
• Hospice care

The best way to get to know a community is by scheduling a tour. See the facilities, meet the staff and residents, and get a feel firsthand what it's like to live at Charleston House Assisted Living.
