Assisted Living in Eau Claire, WI

Each resident’s care begins with a Growth & Wellness Plan developed with the resident and their family. The plan covers health needs, daily preferences, activity interests, and personal goals. As those needs evolve, the plan is reviewed and updated so support always reflects where the resident is right now. The team at HeatherWood uses this plan as a daily working document, not a one-time intake form. Families are part of the conversation and kept informed through regular health monitoring and communication with providers.

Assisted living at HeatherWood is an all-inclusive model. The monthly rate covers the private apartment, three daily meals, snacks, housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance. Care services are included based on the resident’s Growth & Wellness Plan. Community-wide programming, Wi-Fi, and cable TV are also included. Floor plans range from studios to two-bedroom apartments, with rates starting at $5,295 per month. The team can walk families through exactly what each rate covers during a tour or a phone conversation.

Assisted living is a good fit when an older adult needs regular help with daily tasks such as medication, bathing, or meals but does not yet need the intensive, around-the-clock oversight of a skilled nursing facility. It works well for people who want to stay active and social but benefit from reliable support nearby. If a loved one is managing well most of the time but having more difficult days, or if a family caregiver is finding it hard to keep up with care needs, assisted living is often the right next step. The HeatherWood team is happy to talk through the situation and help families think it through, with no pressure to decide.

HeatherWood has trusted hospice partnerships in place for residents who need end-of-life comfort care. When a resident reaches that stage, the community works alongside a hospice provider of the family’s choice to coordinate care within HeatherWood. Residents do not need to leave the community to access hospice support. The team remains involved throughout, providing the comfort and continuity of a familiar setting and familiar faces during a difficult time. Families are supported through the process with clear communication and compassionate daily care.
