Owned by Patricia Baier, Maryhill Manor is a nursing home in Niagara, Wisconsin with 50 beds. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted, giving families different ways to arrange coverage. Most residents stay an average of 354 days. While some arrive for rehabilitation following illness or surgery, others remain longer because of ongoing nursing care needs.

The facility’s current occupancy rate is 85%. Clinical support is layered throughout the community. A doctor is on staff, with 24-hour staffing. Residents receive an average of 4 hours and 20 minutes of nursing care each day.

Memory care is one of the facility’s specialized areas. An Alzheimer’s care program serves residents experiencing cognitive decline.

Rehabilitation services are available for residents who may benefit from physical, occupational, or speech therapy during recovery.

The community’s location in Niagara is car-dependent, with few walkable options nearby. Most errands and visits require transportation.

What stands out in the amenity structure is how much is bundled into residency. Utilities, including water, sewer, gas, and electricity, are covered.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care in Wisconsin

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Wisconsin?

Assisted living in Wisconsin supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

Does Wisconsin Medicaid cover memory care?

Wisconsin Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, but most states (including Wisconsin) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is memory care?
