The Cottages Assisted Living Facility in Shawano, Wisconsin

The Cottages is a 32-unit apartment complex serving Seniors in Shawano County. Apartments are intended for individuals who are independent, but desire the conveniences and services offered in a more social setting with 24-hour staff for personal assistance.

Services include 3 meals a day, weekly housekeeping, daily social activities, assistance with ordering and taking medications, making Dr. appointments and arranging transportation.

Over time, some Tenants will need more support. This is particularly true when health changes occur or a chronic health condition deteriorates. For this reason, The Cottages also offers added personal support and weekly RN visits. Some individuals are not completely independent, but not yet in need of the skilled nursing that a nursing home offers and tend to fall into a "gray area". It is our goal at The Cottages to bridge the gap created by this "gray area" and help these community members maintain their quality of life.

An assisted living facility such as The Cottages is committed to supporting our Tenants through the expected and even the unexpected changes that occur with aging. For example, one Tenant may need one-on-one time with staff to organize/supervise daily activities or for emotional support to cope with life changes.

Another Tenant may need staff to assist with personal care services or require medication monitoring. Staff may need to keep track of Dr. appointments and make sure these appointments are kept or changed as needed. These are the kinds of support that an assisted living facility like The Cottages provides.

The Cottages of Shawano will work closely with outside health agencies to provide additional physical support or nursing needs. All these services are monitored by the staff and management of The Cottages to ensure the Tenants receive the best care available when a health concern arises. These outside companies provide a wide range of services including physical, occupational, respiratory, and speech therapies in the privacy of the Tenants own apartment. Currently, The Cottages is working with area Clinics and Physicians to provide in-house services.
