For nearly 30 years, the community has built a strong and trusted presence in Walworth County with a 33-bed capacity.

With an occupancy rate of about 55%, the community generally has openings available, offering families flexibility when planning a move while allowing immediate placement. The community is licensed as a Class CNA (nonambulatory) CBRF and is equipped with an externally monitored Per Mar Security System, which includes smoke and fire detection. A delayed egress anti-elopement protection is also available, an important safety feature for residents with memory care needs.

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services, Division of Quality Assurance, has conducted a total of three visits, consisting of one complaint-based inspection, one routine inspection, and one additional visit. All three inspections resulted in zero deficiencies, reflecting a strong compliance record compared to the Wisconsin average of 12 deficiencies.

For its size, the community offers a wide range of on-site services, including podiatry care, hospice and palliative care, post-operative care, and on-site beauty and barber services. Daily programming features pet therapy, reminiscence therapy, and music therapy, as well as freshly-prepared meals daily with options for special dietary needs.

Woodlands Senior Park

77 Wisconsin American Dr, Fond Du Lac, WI 54937
Overview of Woodlands Senior Park

Woodlands Senior Park is a licensed senior care community operated by Woodlands Senior Park in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, offering assisted living and residential care apartment services since its original licensure in September 2003. Licensed with 30 beds, the community is currently operating at an approximately 73% occupancy rate, which is ideal for families seeking immediate placement without waiting.

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services, Division of Quality Assurance, has conducted 3 inspections, including 2 complaint-initiated investigations, of which two were concluded without findings. On August 15, 2024, the most recent inspection identified no deficiency. Additionally, only one deficiency was identified throughout its operational history. For families who value compliance, performance may find the community appealing, as it has one of the stronger individual inspection results among the communities of the same size in the state.

With 24-hour staffing, the community ensures care coverage throughout the day. Dining is also highlighted among the community’s services, as they provide balanced, nutritious meals that are low in salt and fat, and accommodate specialized diets based on individual health conditions, which is ideal for those who value dining and those managing chronic conditions like diabetes, heart disease, or kidney disease. Additionally, residential care apartments are also available, featuring a smaller, apartment-style assisted living model that focuses on a home-like residential experience over institutional scale. Scheduled tours are also available seven days a week, from 8 A.M. to 5 P.M., suggesting a more accessible approach to family engagement.

Woodlands Senior Park is best for older adults who require daily living support, including meals, 24-hour staffing, and a nutritionally curated dining program, but prefer a smaller, more intimate residential setting. The community also highlights a relationship-centered atmosphere among the residents and staff with its 30-bed capacity, which also allows a more consistent daily rhythm. Compared to a regional management chain, the community’s independent ownership structure provides direct accountability to local residents. As a mid-sized community on the southern shore of Lake Winnebago, Woodlands Senior Park appeals to those who prefer a grounded, community-integrated option for assisted living in the Fond du Lac area.

Frequently Asked Questions

What government services provide money for senior housing?

Several government programs offer financial assistance for senior housing in various countries, focusing on the United States for a broad overview:

  • Medicaid: Medicaid is a state and federally funded program that can cover the costs of nursing home care for those who meet eligibility criteria, including income and asset limits. Some states also offer Medicaid waivers that help pay for home and community-based services to prevent or delay nursing home placement.
  • Medicare: Medicare, primarily a health insurance program for people aged 65 and over, does not cover long-term housing costs. However, it can cover short-term stays in a skilled nursing facility under specific conditions following a hospital stay.
  • Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly Program: This program provides housing for low-income seniors. It offers rental assistance and access to supportive services, such as cleaning, cooking, and transportation.
  • Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Properties: While not a direct subsidy, LIHTC encourages developers to create affordable housing. Seniors with low incomes can find reduced-rent apartments through this program.
  • State and Local Programs: Many states, counties, and cities offer their own programs to assist seniors with housing costs. These can include property tax relief programs, rental assistance programs, and programs that offer affordable senior housing options.
  • Veterans Affairs (VA): The VA offers several programs for veterans, including the Aid and Attendance benefit, which provides monthly payments to veterans who require the aid of another person, or are housebound, to help cover the cost of care in homes, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities.
  • Social Security: While Social Security primarily provides retirement income, for many seniors, these benefits are a crucial part of their budget, including housing costs.
How do you pick the homes you recommend?

Before recommending homes, we conduct a thorough evaluation on crucial factors that define a senior home such as the quality of care they provide, the reputation of the organization, and a comprehensive review of community testimonials as well. Every detail is assessed to assure that seniors are offered not just senior care options, but trustworthy homes where they can experience the care that they deserve.

Do you help families that need Medicaid?

Yes. Assisting families who need Medicaid is important to us as it plays a crucial role in offering financial support to seniors confronting economic challenges. We would like to keep essential healthcare services accessible to all community members, irrespective of one’s financial circumstances.

How much does this service cost?

We extend our services at no cost, ensuring that families and seniors can benefit from tailored assistance in their search for care and home options. Our ability to offer personalized guidance without charge to families and seniors is made possible through the support and funding from the communities with which we team up.
