My Father's final 18 months of life were greatly enhanced by his care at Homestead Living. We tried another facility with much frustration. It was a "fancy" place, new and shiny, but had little knowledge of how to respectfully care for memory care patients. A friend recommended Homested and they had a rare opening. The difference was noted immediately - staff ratio is excellent, every caregiver understands memory care, creating an environment of love, family and understanding. I never saw my Dad in his room, he was always out with others, engaging when he could always clean, dressed and respected. At previous location, we were told my Dad's behaviors were a problem. At homestead, his behaviors remained challenging, but they were never considered a problem. Homestead viewed his dementia as a way of understanding where a person is at, and how best to respect and support that. At end of life, they worked seamlessly with Hospice for a peaceful passing. Don't overlook this hidden gem.

Quality Care for someone with Dementia
Homestead has been the answer to our prayers when it came time for my Mother to leave her home. We had her in a couple of other places before arriving here. This environment is more homelike, set up in a way to keep residents safe from falls and elopement concerns. They were able to help my Mom transition in a way to relieve her anxiety and fears. Meals are varied and pretty healthy. Activities are planned daily and they try to keep people socially connected with both their families and other residents by encouraging them to hang out in the large "living spaces" and not just hibernate in their rooms alone. I visit my Mom a couple times a week and find most of the staff is very welcoming and understand how to care for those with dementia (many places do not). I highly recommend for those needing dementia care.

Nice, small community. Friendly, well-trained staff. Very home
They, like everyone, have issues finding staff so are sometimes short. However, their staff is all well trained. My Dad is doing very well there. Much better than at his old place. Based on our experience so far we would recommend this community to other families.

Thank you Homestead
Homestead runs like a family should run and my mother is treated like a family member.
Homestead provides loving care for my mother and I know that the staff really loves my mother the way I love her. They see beyond her dementia and see her as the person she is inside.
The staff has the patience and understanding needed to work with dementia and they do a much better job than I would. In fact, I have learned more about dementia just by watching how they work with my mother and the other residents.
Would I recommend Homestead Living? Yes, most heartily. I can go about my life, my work and activities, knowing that Homestead is taking care of my mother’s life and her needs. They are providing the daily care that she deserves.

We appreciate Homestead!
In January 2014 it was necessary to find a memory care facility for Dad, who had just come under hospice care. Homestead was highly recommended by the an organization which has staff placed in various memory care and assisted living facilities in the Madison area. We did our homework and Homestead definitely turned not just to be the best facility, but the best home for our Dad. We have no regrets.
Homestead staff is loving and competent. They do their work with good humor – they’re fun and funny. The activity coordinator is great with the residents and she schedules live musicians, various groups of young people to come and play and interact with Dad and other residents, and even a KinderMusik class which meets weekly in the family room. It is a wonderful sight to see residents sitting in a big circle around the instructor, the babies and their parents as they all move and respond to music. There are many other activities available and always something happening at Homestead!
The cook prepares healthy, tasty meals and tries to use locally-sourced ingredients when in season. Homestead has a lovely backyard and patio, and just new in the summer of 2016 is an honest-to-goodness vegetable garden planned and installed by the daughter of one of the residents with the support and funding by the owners of the facility.
Homestead is small (16 residents), with a good staff/resident ratio. Families of residents are very involved at Homestead and it has been amazing how we have gotten to know and support each other and their loved ones as well and meet for lunch outside of the facility. Homestead is not inexpensive, but we think it’s a better value than other local top-quality facilities.
Even though we live in Madison, it’s worth driving and we visit Dad daily. We appreciate and thank you, staff and owners, [Removed] and [Removed] !

Our cook always wears gloves and food is cooked to the temperatures prescribed by our DHS 83 regulations. I'm so sorry this was your experience. I wish that you had brought your concerns to us at the time.

Our home has been designed with resident safety as our primary concern. A private bathroom presents serious risks for people living with Alzheimer's and other Dementias.
Because we offer person-centered Memory Care and assistance with all aspects of daily living, our rates are higher than most independent living communities, but they are very fair in comparison with our immediate Memory Care competitors.

I'm the Owner at Homestead Living and I'm surprised that was your experience. We pride ourselves on a very high Staff to Resident Ratio, specifically in order that we might be able to care for people with higher acuity, advanced disease progression, and heavy needs. We are firm advocates of Aging in Place and very accustomed to working with residents who have higher needs. Without more information specifically about your family, I can't speak further to your experience, except to offer my sincere apologies.
