About Our Town Tomah
Our Town Tomah is a CBRF that cares for residents that have Dementia and/or Alzheimer’s disease. We recognize that each person is an individual with physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs. Our goal is to provide care and services above the level of room and board, but less than skilled nursing care for our residents.
An environment is provided which is as homelike as possible and is compatible with the Residents’ needs and services. Residents are involved with choice of their care and preferences.
​
Encouragement toward functional independence in daily living is continually maintained.
Who We Are
Our Founders.
Our Town Tomah was built by two families with deep Wisconsin roots and a shared belief that seniors deserve more than a place to live, they deserve a real home and a real community.
​
The Yahnkes and the Monroes brought together decades of experience in healthcare, operations, and hands-on caregiving to create something Tomah had never seen before. What started as a vision became a facility. What became a facility became a neighborhood.
