Walnut Acres

Walnut Acres is a licensed adult family home located in Benton, Wisconsin. Adult Family Homes in Wisconsin serve 3-4 adults in a residential setting, providing care in a home-like environment.

Walnut Acres has a licensed capacity of 4 residents. Services include personal care assistance (bathing, dressing, grooming), medication management, meals, housekeeping, laundry, social activities, and 24-hour supervision. Many Adult Family Homes specialize in caring for residents with dementia or specific health conditions.

Who We Serve: Adult Family Homes serve adults who need help with daily activities but prefer a smaller, more intimate setting than a larger facility. Residents often include older adults, adults with disabilities, or those with chronic health conditions.

Licensing: Typically licensed by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services Division of Quality Assurance.

Payment Options: In Wisconsin, Medicaid may help pay for assisted living through the Family Care, IRIS. Eligibility is based on both financial and functional criteria. Contact Wisconsin Department of Health Services or visit https://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/medicaid/ltc.htm to learn about eligibility requirements and how to apply. Wait lists are common for waiver programs, so applying early is recommended.

Families researching assisted living options should verify the facility's current license status, review any inspection reports, and schedule a visit to assess whether the environment and services meet their loved one's needs.
