Bethel to break ground for Memory Care Home in Viroqua

VIROQUA Bethel Home and Services will break ground for a new 14-room Memory Care Home at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday at 620 Garfield Ave. in Viroqua.

The home is intended to provide a secure, homelike setting for people who are not able to remain safely in their own homes because of Alzheimers disease or other dementia conditions, CEO Clark Nordberg said.

It will be in addition to specialized memory care that Bethel has provided in its Eldergarden since 1999, Nordberg said.

In addition to 14 private rooms, the new facility will have round-the-clock staffing and include a dining and activity room, a living room, a den, a sunroom, a serving kitchen, a bathing spa and hair salon, laundry areas, a four-season room and an enclosed courtyard.

It will provide a seamless transition for people who move to Eldergarden as their needs change, Nordberg said.
