The current Hayward Nursing Home is a Medicare certified, skilled nursing facility licensed by the State of Wisconsin. It is connected to Hayward Area Memorial Hospital and medical clinics.

The 60 bed facility has both private and semi-private rooms, common areas, visiting rooms, a beauty shop, a bathing spa and a large outdoor deck.

Registered nurses, licensed practical nurses and certified nursing assistants provide care 24-hours a day. Residents can receive physical, occupational, speech or respiratory therapy services in the building. A 24-hour physician staffed emergency room is located in the hospital should a medical emergency occur.

Activity professionals and volunteers offer group and individual activities including social, religious, recreational and educational programs. Computers and Internet access are available. In addition, Hayward area clergy hold regular religious services in the care center and make individual visits on request.

How We've Changed!

We've made many changes through a cultural change project called Home Again. Employees, volunteers and family members learned how to transform a medical model of care into a social or home model.

The group studied human values, homelessness, the importance of daily pleasures and more. The classes helped them make daily life in an institution more like living at home. The word “choices” became our watchword and will remain so in years to come.

Physical alterations were also made. A kitchenette now accommodates family style serving. A lounge area was also added. A large bathing area with an adaptive, whirlpool bathtub brings a spa-like atmosphere to the faciilty. Warm colors and new accessories make common areas more comfortable. A garden and remodeled deck added pleasure for many.

New Homes Are Coming!

Construction is moving quickly on our building project called Water's Edge. We are building a new long term care center with small suites consisting of a bedroom, sitting area and private bath that will afford each nursing home resident the privacy found at home. Communal living areas, kitchenettes, dining rooms, fireplaces and outdoor courtyards will bring a new lifestyle for those who no longer can manage living independently. Targeted construction completion date is December, 2010. We are eagerly awaiting the move to the new building and our residents are watching the progress of the building crew closely.
