Overview of United Pioneer Home

United Pioneer Home runs three care types in Luck, WI. Those are skilled nursing, assisted living, and nursing home care. Nursing home care is for a resident with ongoing daily and health needs, and assisted living stretches as far as dressing, bathing, and medication administration. The Skilled Care designation is what covers the nursing side.

Private pay means a family covers the bill itself. Medicaid steps in once savings stop reaching a long stay. Medicare is what pays when a stay follows straight on from the hospital.

Fifty beds puts this at the small end of senior living communities. The staffing record puts one resident’s daily nursing at 5 hours and 2 minutes. Jay Andress is the administrator.

At 49 on Walk Score, the home is car-dependent, so errands mean somebody driving, and a resident who has stopped driving would need transport for outings. A resident whose needs shift over the years finds the next level already at this address.
