We recently whipped up some caramel apple dump cake with vanilla ice cream... so yummy! We filled out some Mad Libs together while baking, too, so we had some hearty laughs before filling our tummies!

Rated High Performing by U.S. News & World Report

The high performing rating designates our nursing home with a 2024 Best Nursing Home badge. According to U.S. News, only 19% of nursing homes in the United States earned high performing status. The designation is only given to those homes that satisfy U.S. News's assessment of the appropriate use of key services and consistent performance in quality measures.

Rated 5 Stars by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services

Star ratings assigned to the categories quality measures, staffing ratios, and annual health inspection results are combined to calculate an overall rating. (2023 National Average 2.87 | State Average 2.98)

On-Site Clinic Services

Avoid the hassle of transportation and inclement weather, as well as reduce your exposure to illness. While residing short-term or long-term at Dove Healthcare - South Eau Claire, you can elect to use our on-site physician services. We collaborated with a local medical clinic to have a physician and NP provide on-site primary care services and address concerns or medical needs that do not require a visit out to a community clinic or emergency room.

On-site visits may include exams; order writing / clarification; coordination of care; nursing direction; and referrals to heart failure clinics, anticoagulation clinics, palliative care programs, and other ancillary providers to enhance consistency of care. The cost of the visit is covered by your insurance or Medicare coverage (exactly the same as if you went to the clinic). Outcomes may include decreased need for office visits; improved response time to medical needs; and reduced admissions to the hospital.

If you elect to use this service, the physician will become your primary medical provider for the duration of your stay. Upon discharge, you will resume care with your community primary care physician. They will receive a summary of the care you received during your stay with us from our physician. Contact us to learn more.

Physical Therapy and Speech Therapy for Parkinson's Disease and Other Neurological Diseases

Let us help you achieve your goals! Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT) is a standardized treatment protocol administered individually in 16, one-hour sessions over one month for out-patients or in-patients. Treatments are intensive and complex; however, they are accompanied by easy to understand instructions. Treatment promotes self-awareness of increasing and maintaining vocal loudness and movements. Daily homework practice and carryover exercises help individuals develop life-long habits. Learn more.

LSVT BIG® for Life

By previously completing the LSVT BIG® program, you qualify to attend weekly BIG for LIFE exercise sessions at Dove Healthcare - South Eau Claire. The BIG for LIFE® class is not physical therapy, therefore, it is not billable to insurance. It is an optional group class with certified instructors designed to help you keep strong and moving BIG.
