St. Croix County to host open house for Kitty Rhoades Memorial Memory Care Center
New Richmond, WI: St. Croix County is excited to announce the reopening of the Kitty Rhoades Memorial Memory Care Center, featuring a new Dementia Crisis Stabilization Unit (DCSU). To celebrate this milestone, the County invites the public to an Open House on Thursday, December 19 from 5 -7 p.m., located at 1426 N 4th Street New Richmond, WI. Explore the facility, meet our team, and learn about our services.
The Dementia Stabilization Unit will provide short-term specialized, compassionate care for individuals with Alzheimer’s and related dementias experiencing a high level of memory care needs. Our goal is to create a transition period, providing stability and then supporting a move to the appropriate care setting, whether that’s back home or a less-intensive nursing care area. The facility will officially open in early 2025. It will initially operate at limited capacity, expanding to accommodate up to 10 individuals as staffing grows.
St. Croix County was awarded a Dementia Crisis Stabilization Unit Development Grant in the amount of $600,000 from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services and the Bureau of Aging and Disability Resources to help reopen this facility. The grant utilizes American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds.
