Operating as part of the Ensign Services network, a national healthcare organization with an extensive portfolio of post-acute properties, the community brings operational oversight and standardized clinical protocols to Waupaca County. Along with a 50-bed capacity, Medicare is accepted for covered services.

With 50 licensed beds, the community is able to provide a more personalized care experience, which allows staff members to develop a close familiarity with residents and their daily routines. At the same time, its affiliation with Ensign Services provides families with the assurance of professional management standards and clinical resources, commonly provided in larger healthcare organizations.

The community offers 24-hour staffing, skilled nursing care, in-house rehabilitation therapy, and specialized memory care programming. Compared to other communities that only provide general skilled nursing, the community’s memory care provides dedicated care for those living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.

The Pines Post Acute and Memory Care is an ideal choice for individuals in Clintonville and the central Wisconsin region who require skilled nursing, short-term post-acute rehabilitation, or specialized memory care, particularly those looking for a dedicated memory care environment within a skilled nursing community.

Overview of Friendly Village Nursing and Rehabilitation Center

Friendly Village Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is a 100-bed skilled nursing home in Rhinelander, Wisconsin, in Oneida County. It offers a full range of care, including skilled nursing, memory care, palliative care, and respite stays, alongside post-acute rehabilitation. The facility is operated by Friendly Village Nursing And Rehab, LLC, and administered by Billie Packard. It accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, giving families several ways to cover both short-term rehab and longer-term stays.

The community runs at about 74 percent occupancy, and residents stay for an average of 78 days, a mix that reflects both post-acute recovery and longer-term nursing care. Total nursing care averages 3 hours and 29 minutes per resident each day, with registered nurses contributing about 53 minutes of that daily total, so residents have consistent access to both hands-on aide support and RN-level oversight.

Rehabilitation is a core part of the offering here, with dedicated rehabilitation services and short-term rehab programs supported by private rehab suites and around-the-clock nursing staff. Day-to-day life is rounded out by on-site registered dietitians, chef-inspired meals, and customizable menus, along with physician services available on-site. Residents can spend time in the outdoor courtyard or patio, take part in arts and crafts, and enjoy pet visitation, while practical amenities like banking services, transportation, and a beauty salon and spa help simplify daily life.

The facility sits in a moderately walkable part of Rhinelander, with a Walk Score of 68, meaning some errands can be handled on foot alongside a mix of nearby amenities. Between its rehab focus, round-the-clock staffing, and broad payment acceptance, Friendly Village is set up to support both residents recovering from a hospital stay and those needing ongoing skilled nursing care.

Overview of The Neighbors – Central Neighborhood

The Neighbors – Central Neighborhood is a 45-bed nursing home run by Dunn County that provides skilled nursing, memory care, and rehabilitation services. The facility coordinates physical, occupational, and speech therapies alongside on-site dental checkups, podiatry, audiology, and optometry. Daily operations focus primarily on short-term recovery, with an average resident stay of 81 days. Situated in a downtown neighborhood with a Walk Score of 81, the community accepts Medicare, Medicaid, private pay, and Wisconsin Family Care, while recording a 37.4% occupancy rate.

Government records show strong staffing levels, with nursing care averaging 6 hours and 17 minutes per resident each day, which runs about 48% above the Wisconsin baseline. Daily staff-to-resident ratios sit at 3.36:1, and short-stay metrics reveal that roughly 56% of rehab residents successfully return home.

State monitoring reports from the past two years show six moderate citations focused on infection control and quality of life, all of which were fixed by management, with zero serious or critical violations on file. While long-term tracking shows zero federal fines over the past three years, clinical files show mixed outcomes; rates of pressure ulcers and resident weight loss track higher than the state average, though serious fall injuries among long-stay residents remain low.

Older adults looking for short-term recovery options can review these public tracking reports to weigh the facility’s overall performance. Since the state data highlights high daily nursing hours and strong recovery outcomes alongside some noted struggles with long-term skin and weight management, the records fit a building geared toward post-acute rehab. Arranging an in-person tour is a helpful next step to view the therapy equipment, inspect the building layout, and discuss admission timelines with the staff.

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?

Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and routines built to reduce confusion and wandering.

How many memory care communities are listed on this page?

This page features 333 memory care communities in Wisconsin. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right memory care community in Wisconsin?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Wisconsin, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting memory care communities in Wisconsin?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered.
