Golden Years Retirement Village
Golden Years Retirement Village, in Walkworth, WI, provides assisted living. Help arrives for bathing, dressing, and medication, and the resident goes on living in the community. The activity list is a daily one and it names its items, with pet therapy, church services, bingo, and live music among them.
Somebody who needs that daily help and also wants a week with things scheduled into it has both in one place. The community is licensed for 60 beds, and the outdoor choices are a patio, gardens, and a courtyard.
There is a salon too. Somewhat walkable is where a 52 Walk Score puts the area, and a resident who no longer drives can still take part of an errand list on foot. The operation of the community belongs to Golden Years Nursing Home, Inc.
