Old-fashioned, small-town charm is alive and well in Eau Claire, where the Chippewa River winds through west-central Wisconsin and creates oxbow lakes with plenty of chances to stay active outdoors. Between fishing, kayaking, lakeside hiking, and downtown saloons and antique shops, Eau Claire proves you can enjoy the quiet life while never getting bored.

In Eau Claire, residential care homes — sometimes called care homes, board and care homes, group homes, or personal care homes — are often houses in residential neighborhoods that are adapted, equipped, and staffed to care for a small number of residents, usually 10 or less. Similar to assisted living but in a smaller, more residential setting, these homes provide supervision, organized events, and assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs). This means care homes can help with everyday routines but typically do not provide 24-hour skilled nursing assistance.

The cost of living in a care home depends largely on location. Since the homes are private residences, costs are tied to real estate value and therefore may vary greatly. To learn more about the cost of care homes in Eau Claire, contact A Place for Mom’s Senior Living Advisors.
