Beaver Dam Health Care Center
Beaver Dam Health Care Center is a nursing home in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, offering skilled nursing, memory care, hospice care, palliative care, and respite care. Nursing home and skilled nursing services include long term care and ongoing clinical support, while memory care provides supervised care for residents living with dementia. Hospice and palliative care focus on comfort, and respite care provides a short stay when a resident’s usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.
Rehabilitation services and short term rehabilitation support residents during a recovery period. Beaver Dam Health Care Center may be a good fit for someone who needs ongoing nursing support, dementia focused care, comfort focused services, or a temporary stay. The home has 90 beds.
An on site beauty shop and salon or spa give residents access to personal care appointments within the community, while the courtyard and patio provide outdoor space; recreation includes musical entertainment, special events, crafts, and games. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted, covering payment through public benefits or direct payment depending on the resident’s situation. Total nurse staffing is 3 hours and 34 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily nurse time allocated to each resident, and a Walk Score of 35 places the area in a car dependent setting where most errands require a car or a ride, so a resident who no longer drives generally needs transportation to leave for errands.
