Golden Years of Lake Geneva
Golden Years of Lake Geneva offers nursing home, skilled nursing, assisted living, hospice care, and independent living in Lake Geneva, WI. Nursing home and skilled nursing care provide licensed nursing on site around the clock for residents who need ongoing clinical support. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication management.
Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care. Hospice care supports comfort-focused care at the end of life, while rehabilitation services support recovery or help residents maintain function after illness or injury. The range of care types may suit a resident whose needs grow over time, because moving between care settings can happen without leaving the community or starting over socially.
With 54 beds, the community is smaller in size. This may suit someone who prefers a setting where staff and residents can get to know each other. The home opened in 2018 and is operated by Golden Years Nursing Home, with Jonathan Stankevitz as administrator.
Payment options are Medicare and private pay. Medicare can cover short-term skilled care after a hospital stay, while private pay means paying directly. A Walk Score of 76 places the area in the very walkable band, meaning most errands can be done on foot, so a resident who no longer drives can still get out independently.
