Wellness & Nutrition

Menu/Meals

Good food can bring joy and contribute to a sense of community. At Fountainhead Homes, we make every effort to fulfill that need. We are proud to serve delicious home-cooked meals and desserts on a daily basis. We refrain from using “prepared” meals, and try to support desires for favorite items as much as possible. Our dietary program includes:

• Three well-balanced and dietician-approved meals provided daily
• Snacks & drinks provided daily twice per day & upon request
• Meats purchased locally and fresh
• Produce purchased locally and fresh
• Great care and respect for residents’ individual dietary restrictions and tastes

Exercise Program

We offer daily exercise activities which may include one-on-one range of motion, outside walks (as weather permits), yoga, stretching, exercise bicycling, chair aerobics, and one-on-one coordination and strength exercises. Other exercise activities are also available in collaboration with physical and occupational therapists.  Exercise is essential to overall well-being!

Activity Program

We offer daily activities to stimulate the mind and senses. These may include yoga, card games (including cribbage and poker), interactive Wii, Yahtzee, stories by the fire, musical meditation, conversations on current events, baking, watercolor painting, walking, gardening, and more. But this list, of course, is ever-changing, as our priority is to create an activity program uniquely suited to individual resident needs.

Equally important is the time we spend with one-on-one focus and motivation. We find that the health and personal goals of our residents are much more easily attained through validation, support, and encouragement. This can be accomplished through chatting over coffee, a hand-in-hand walk, or listening… simply listening.

We regularly invite outside guests to offer additional excitement and interest: children’s presentations, spiritual guidance and enrichment, informational lectures, songs and laughter, and one-on-one support. And we can’t overlook our regular parties and special occasions, including summer barbecues, Secret Santa gatherings, birthday parties, and special event surprises with families and friends.

We offer a variety of fun events throughout the year such as outings to:

• Olbrich Gardens – concerts and other events
• Local theater and musical events

• Mallards baseball games
• Vilas Zoo and picnics
• Holiday lights displays
• Shopping and lunching
