Wheat Country Estate

Wheat Country Estate is a modern 18-bed facility where care services are provided 24 hours a day in accordance with the individual needs of the residents. Assistance with personal care includes supervision in self-medication and similar routine activities of daily living.

Three nutritious meals are served daily in our family dining room, plus snacks are available between meals. Housekeeping, laundry and maintenance services are also provided. Activities are organized by the facility staff and are planned to meet the interests of the residents. Specific health and financial criteria must be met for residency.

People come to live with us for different reasons. The most common reasons is that they are now alone, having lost their spouse, and are tired of living alone. Some are not eating very well and feel lonely. Most are realizing that they are no longer able to take care of their ADLs (Activities of Daily Living) without help and they don’t want to burden their families with these details.

Medication management is one big reason that folks like living here. Our residents are given their medications (set up by a licensed nurse) by our qualified staff at the proper times, as ordered by their medical provider. They never have to worry about getting their medications on time, ordering refills or running out of their medications.

Most of our residents require some help with bathing (getting in and out of the bathtub or shower safely) and dressing, such as putting on their socks and shoes. Nearly all of our residents no longer want the responsibility of preparing a balanced meal, not to mention shopping for groceries and cleaning up the kitchen afterward. We also provide residents with laundry and housekeeping services. When living here, you never have to clean your room, do yard work, mow the lawn, or shovel snow!
