Company Description

Helen's House® Long-Term Care Households

Assisted Living Facility In Appleton, WI
Helen’s House® was named after Helen. Helen, a lifelong resident of Appleton, Wisconsin, lived a fiercely independent life, living along in her home along the Fox River for 24 years following the passing of her husband Roy. Through her late 80’s Helen drove, went out to eat with friends, and mulched her beloved hostas. In May 2012 Helen suffered a mild heart attack, but because she was living alone her condition went unnoticed for several days. After a minor hospital procedure, Helen returned home with an in-home care provider scheduled for a few hours per day.

While home alone Helen experienced two separate falls both of which necessitated emergency room visits. After the second fall Helen agreed to go to a nursing home for rehabilitative care and then transition to a long-term assisted living facility. On October 6, 2012, three months after moving into the long-term elderly care facility, Helen passed away. She was 90 years old.

Helen’s youngest son Christopher was surprised at how quickly his mother lost her sense of independence in the large institutional setting. Additionally, despite the facility’s excellent reputation for caring senior services, staffing constraints often delayed response to Helen’s needs.

Reflecting on the last months of his mother’s life, Christopher believe there could be a better, more dignified and meaningful approach to age in place care for seniors, like Helen, who would prefer residential care over a large institutional setting. He discovered the congregate housing model, an innovative approach to domiciliary care, that felt like a real home, and established HELEN’S HOUSE®, named after his beloved mother. The first HELEN’S HOUSE® Long-Term Care Household opened in July 2013.
